Dear Anon
I am so sorry to read you lost your baby. I can only imagine your pain and my heart goes out to you.
A prolapsed uterus is indeed a serious issue in pregnancy. Some women can have their uterus supported in order to be able to carry a pregnancy and it IS possible for many women to have a baby after a uterine prolapse - it just depends on the individual case.
What has your doctor told you about your treatment options? There are many, you can read them here on our Uterine Prolapse page : http://www.empowher.com/media/reference/uterine-prolapse#causes
Tell me what you think about your options. Don't lose hope! And again, my condolences to you, I hope you are coping as well as you can. And hopefully other women in your situation will read this and post their own stories, experiences and advice. Do you have a good support system in terms of family/friends?

Hi i gave birth to a baby girl on the 19th nov 2007 and 2 days later my uterus prolapsed it actually fell out, i had to have a pessary ring inserted and go for lots of physiotherapy but i am currently 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant and have had no problems during this pregnancy, having said that i am starting to get slightly nervous about the birth.
September 14, 2009 - 6:51amAnon - that's great to know that you've made it full term! Your situation will assure a lot of women that it's at least possible!
Are you trying for natural childbirth or having a c-section? Will you update us when you have your baby, we'd love to hear from you!
Good luck and congrats!
September 14, 2009 - 12:53pmHi i'll be more than happy to keep you informed after the birth, my waters have broken this morning no sign of contractions yet though

October 12, 2009 - 11:25amDear Anon (Original Poster),
I am truly, truly sorry for your loss but if and when you are ready to have another child, I think Susan gave you some great information. If you feel like your doctor is not supportive in your decision to try to conceive again, consider a change of doctor. I don't know if surgery or a pessary are an option for you but these are things you may want to discuss with your doctor.
Good Luck, I hope you will achieve to have a child sometime in the near future. Right now you have your angel baby looking after you.

October 31, 2009 - 12:04pmJust so you know it's possible, I wanted to let you know that I severely prolapsed 16 years ago after the birth of my 3nd child. Since then I've had 6 more (5 of which were born naturally at home) and am 38 weeks pregnant with twins. It is possible to have children with prolapse. The best help I've found is a DVD I ordered off the internet called "First Aid for Prolapse".
July 23, 2010 - 7:24pmThank you for that ray of hope to those of us with prolapse. I'm almost 5 wks pregnant with my 3rd child and just discovered roughly 6 months ago that I have uterine prolapse. My cervix is just a half a finger into my vagina (sometimes lower). I'm wondering how you went on to have so many more successful pregnancies. Did you have to wear a pessary? I'm so worried that my prolapse will end in miscarriage and would just love to hear more of your success story.
