When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Hello Ihearted
((((Hugs))))
We may not be able to be there in person for a shoulder to cry on but we are here to listen.
Is this pain you are having from your recent surgery?
It must be so incredibly frustrating for you and its so hard to deal with little ones when we are going through this. I had a few weeks of constipation and I know how I felt then. Luckily I have managed to find a concotion that works for me to make things really easy. I take 2 psyllium husk capsules after dinner and then 2 flax seed oil capsules when I go to bed and that seems to work a treat at keeping everything really soft and easy.
It is hard for other people who are not in our situation to understand as its not them. They are not the ones going through the pain or discomfort and its easy for them to say have the surgery. Its the same with everything in life, we can't truly understand until we have experienced it.
I love my kids to bits but I have thought many many times over the recent weeks that I wish I had not given birth. Not that I don't want my kids but that birthing has destroyed my body.
I sincerely wish you better and hope that you can find a way of easing your BM's which I am sure would be a weight of your shoulders.
Take care,
A

thank you
I hate saying this, but it makes me feel a little better knowing someone just knows how I feel.
The pain isn't from the recent surgery at all actually. I believe everything is healing quite nicely. It wasn't related to my prolapses at all, I had been dealing with that well before even becoming pregnant. I think having the rectocele made it worst, and I fear that it's happening again and it'll have made that surgery pointless.
Do the pills you take make your nauseous at all? I take Colace about 3 times a day. I try keeping up with my fiber and taking dairy out of my diet has not gone well at all...apparently I eat cheese with every meal! haha

Hi
I've had small tears and its feels like I am passing razor blades when I have one so I cannot imagine having a severe one to deal with. You poor thing. Its sounds like you need things to just sliiiide out for you to give your body a rest. The capsules I take do not make me feel naseous at all but it was a bit of trial and error finding something that did the trick. What works for one person does not always work for another and it is sooo frustrating finding the concotion that works best for you. I also find Senekot works well for me but that can't be taken long term whereas the other things I take are natural safe supplements. If I do get a bad day which I did last week I just do a warm water enema and that shifts it!
Have you been constipated/having trouble since your surgery? I wonder if because you are experiencing such awful pain you are afraid to go and it is making things worse. I only say that as I know stress and anxiety can do awful things to our bodies.
I eat things also that are not good for a light colon like cheese and white bread but it is hard making soo many changes all at once.
I hope things are easier for you today.

Constipation Problem
So sorry to hear how uncomfortable you have been feeling lately. Try drinking a cup of Smooth Move by Traditional Medicinals before going to bed - it is an herbal tea which you can purchase at any health food store - voila, next morning you should be cleaned out - hope it works for you! Best of luck with your newborn!
