I was only 19. The weight of pregnancy and then the stress of childbirth weakened the muscles surrounding my uterus, causing it to fall out of place. It caused horribly excruciating (stabbing) pain to the point I could not stand upright. My doctor originally thought I had Endometriosis but during laproscopic surgery he found that my uterus had dropped out of place. He then stitched it back up (I still do not know if that vaginal mesh product you see advertised by attorneys on tv was used since I haven't seen that doctor). After having two additional children I was forced back into surgery again because my uterus dropped a second time. This condition causes pain during menstruation and sexual intercourse as well. You definitely can not ignore it! Now that I'm older (41), I'm still experiencing pain and am contemplating a hysterectomy to finally be free from the condition. If anyone reading your story is experiencing any kind of pelvic pain, they should see a doctor. It is not normal and you shouldn't have to just live with it. Thanks for bringing this up Rachel. I'm lucky that my organs have stayed within my body but the pain alone is enough to make you want to crawl into a corner and dig your nails into the walls. I wish your family well.

YUMMY!!!

I was skeptical hearing what was in it but it's so creamy and not too sweet. I’ve had that dip before and it is sooooo good.
