Since theres nothing inside anymore...what keeps all the other organ in place???

Hello there sisters...hopefully you are all feeling better...i was just thinking last night since i couldn't sleep, i had a TAH/BSO and they removed my cervix and i had a bladder sling..im only 29...well since they removed everything what about the other organs in my body? What keeps them in place? Are they going to eventually fall?? See this is what happens when you are unable to fall asleep and your mind wont go to sleep and all these thoughts are racing though your head..i guess a really good question to as my when i go for my 6 wk appt sept 25th...been thinking about going to work the day after labor day but i think im just bored w/not being able to do anything...my DH has been really good with the cooking/cleaning(still no one cleans like you) but im really grateful that he is here w/me..we have 3 kids..10-8-3....but i feel good one day and like crap the next i guess this is normal cuz i have read lots on here and all the other princesses say the same thing...ok ladies thanks for listening and if anyone has any answers please HELP!

I've read on this forum that a normal uterus (of which the cervix is part) is about the size of a pear (or some other small fruit lol) and normal ovaries are quite small, so they don't take up much room. My uterus was enlarged because of fibroids and it kind of "bullied" its way around, so when it was removed I'm assuming everything returned to where it belonged.

Hi (((Pmartin)))

Yes, gravity does its thing and everything will settle into a new place. It takes a little time to get used to some of the new sensations, but you'll adjust. That is soon to go back to work. You must be feeling quite well. Just be sure to ease into your activities so your stitches can still do their thing. Best wishes to you!

I would think that just like the uterus and ovaries had ligaments holding them in place, that the other organs have something holding them too.

I know I feel like I cant lay on my side because it feels like things are 'pulling'. Also sometimes when I walk I feel as if things are dropping or something. The human body is quite amazing and can adapt to new situations.

Hope this helps

Me too, Silentfilms. I lay on my side and something is pulling! I am glad others can relate because that means it's common. Blessings to all you sisters.
