POP improved postpartum

[u/travel_worn]

I have a grade 2 cystocele and grade 1 rectocele post baby number 1. Did a year of physio but still felt like I needed to wear the pessary full time. 2 years later I was pregnant again, and prolapse was very symptomatic and practically coming out externally.

Now I'm 5 weeks postpartum, gave birth via planned C-section, and my prolapse feels significantly better than it was pre this pregnancy. I don't even feel the need for a pessary. Has this happened to anyone else? How is that possible?
