I finally talked to my OB about this issue. He said it was a cystocele. He also said if it didn't go away within, i can't remember...like 6 months after delivery then I might need surgery or something else done. I've since had my baby & have no issues with it. So there is hope for others experiencing this.....it does go away! I found a web site that explaines it little. If you explore the site it describes symptoms, risk factors, when to see a doctor, etc. Sometimes just knowing what it is makes the difference.

Causes
"Your pelvic floor consists of a sheet of muscles and ligaments that support your bladder, uterus, colon and small intestine — organs that fill your pelvic cavity. If these supporting tissues stretch or weaken, some of your internal organs may sink lower in your body, or prolapse."
There is a picture to click on that gives you a visual on what is happening. It is a drawing & is tastefully done if you're worried about it being an inappropriate picture. In any event, it makes me wish I had been more dilligent & consistent on doing kegels. Hope this helps & good luck!
