Pregnancy is a truly wonderful experience. A long experience... but a wonderful one all the same.
And the moment you have your little one in your arms, you forget all those sleepness nights because Baby was poking your ribs and all those mornings when you felt so ill you wondered if you were expecting multiples.
However, things don't go back to normal after you give birth - far from it - and sometimes you'll find yourself dealing with issues left over from having a baby.
Like, in this mum's case, a prolapsed uterus.
Mum-of-four Mel Watts was visiting her doctor for her routine six-week check-up, when she was diagnosed with a prolapsed uterus.
"Let's discuss something that isn't very pleasant. It starts with the letter P and no it isn't penis, that's what got me in this strife to begin with," The Modern Mumma blogger wrote on her Instagram page.
"It's prolapse. I'm a lucky bird who got it. Lol see me trying to make it sound like something I caught instead of blaming my small humans for ruining all up in grill and poor pelvic floor exercises."
Mel has had five pregnancies, given birth for times and has had three major surgeries.
"Today I became the lucky owner of a prolapsed uterus.... It was noted - documented even - as a 'pre-existing condition' - pre-existing?!" she writes.
"For goodness sakes I just came in for my 6-week postnatal check-up and some duck bill action (pap smear) how on earth did we go from pap smear to prolapse?!!"
The mum was clearly not impressed with the diagnosis and insisted that she was too young for this, but the doctor simply "smirked" at her!
"My uterus is no longer plump and welcoming, it's legitimately coming to you, it's coming out to your nearest squat position soon.
"Apparently it's common after vaginal births and big babies. I'm not pointing any fingers but I only had one big baby and one natural birth (cough cough... firstborn...) which makes me think it's been there the whole time and used as extra padding... wink, wink if you get what I mean."
However, that wasn't the only news she received...
"Not only is this documented on my health record so I can't even try and scam health insurance straight away... I also got a secondary fun fact about my insides I am now also the proud owner of a 'weakened bladder wall' so not only can my insides fall outside (they won't, over exaggerating. Just don't Google) but I can also piss myself any moment."
We love how honest she is!
