Odd: Pessaries used to support the uterus to prevent the uterus from falling into the Vagina. A condition we call uterine prolapse. In my experience in OB, I have never used pessaries in a pregnant patient. In addition, have never used pessaries impregnated with or inserted with the use of Betadine.there should be no issue with Betadine in the vagina while pregnant temporarily. Repeat/long use not ok.
