Unhappy Help! Maybe TMI - but exercise and prolapse?

Ugh. So, after baby #2 six months ago, I definitely have issues with bladder control and stuff, but I have been working doing Kegels and pelvic floor work to counter act it. I don't have abdominal diastasis recti so I thought it would be fine if I did traditional ab work and some higher impact cardio (jumping jacks, jogging in place, etc.)

Thing is, I think things are getting worse instead of better. I am not seeing much improvement in my bladder control issues, and I recently went to the doctor because I started feeling a weird pressure internally and the doctor said that I had some bulging and laxity in vaginal walls. I started feeling this AFTER I have been working out regularly for about six weeks.

I did some internet research and it seems like I may have made things worse with my workouts, when I thought I was doing my body good. It appears I may have put too much strain on my pelvic floor and caused it to weaken more that it was initially. I'm feeling pretty upset about it.

Has anyone had this issue? Has anyone successfully rehabbed something like this with exercise, or have experience modifying their rotation to focus on workouts that are pelvic floor friendly? I'm a little embarrassed to be posting this here, but I'd rather hear from real people than wade through mountains of internet horror stories and disturbing pictures. Please feel free to PM me if you don't wan't to post to a public message board. Thanks in advance.
