The uterus can drop lower in the abdomen if its usual supports fail, and during delivery it can turn inside out and be extruded from the body (rare, but a very serious emergency), but it won't just "fall out" of the body. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly.

Current research suggests than episiotomy will NOT prevent prolapse, so if your doctor tells you that as a reason you need one, he/she is full of it. Here is an example of what current research says http://www.aafp.org/afp/20050201/tips/30.html Mary G.
