Currently 37+4 with my first baby, and a couple of weeks ago spotted a bulging in the opening of my vagina, so went to triage and was told somewhat flippantly that I have a cervical prolapse.

I turn 38 weeks tomorrow so if it's a sign of impending labour I'm not too worried but my Google search is giving me really mixed messages on whether I should be concerned or not.
