My grandmother had a funny story about this. She was incredibly healthy until 81, and then was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Lived the expected 6 months after diagnosis. We of course would have prefered for her to live longer (and without cancer), but all in all not a bad way to go: 81 healthy years, then enough warning to put one's affairs in order. Anyway, towards the end, she had hospice nurses coming to her house (never needed to go to a nursing home or even a hospital over night). One day she complained about some swelling between her legs. The hospice nurse took a look and said "prolapsed uterus, let's just pop it back in". A few hours later, my grandma said, "But I had a hysterectomy!" She thought it was all very funny, and I can still remember her laughing about it. Emily

I bet they're ROTFL over at misc.kids.pregnancy but why the f**k did you crosspost on rec.photo.digital? Unless you've taken some good shots of granny's prolapsed cervix....

I don't know about fall right out. I know of this woman who'd given birth and the birth caused her uterus to be ripped out of her. She hemouraged. Had to have emergency surgery. All seemed to be due to that labour, birth inducing medication that was administered.
