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.

pregnancy & prolapse
I went on to have baby number four after finding a prolapse. the long story short, is that I waited until I felt that my prolapse had stabilized. things actually improved for me during the pg and even after delivery never got any worse than the worst it was before hand. now (almost 11 months pp) I am back to my prepg baseline, with no regrets.
so I think another pg is definitely possible. but I will say that I worked very hard to keep myself as healthy as I could. made sure I was getting enough sleep and good food, was seeing a chiro regularly to help keep my spine in good shape, was walking on the treadmill every single day until week 38 when I just couldn't any more, and birthed with my prolapses in mind (in my case it was on hands & knees and no pushing).
I havent heard anything pointing towards increased risk or miscarriage with prolapse, or needing a c-section either. but maybe give yourself a bit more time to stabilize things before taking on the stress of another pg. just my opinion.

stories of hope
There's a new post "third trimester update" from mumwithone that should give you lots of hope!!!
i know my physio said she's had lots of women go on to have babies again. she said that none of them were worse after than they were before (well, once those first few weeks of healing get out of the way i imagine!). In the UK they don't advise c-section with prolapse--they see it as unnecessary surgery.
she's very positive about it. the surgeon i initially saw said he always advises women to hav all the babies they want--he says you'll never regret that, you'll regret not doing it... (what a wise man for a prolapse specialist!!! he is a rarity i think...)
there are lots of great stories here of women who went on to have babies...pop and all. so definately doable.
how many women has over the last centuries and been fine...you have far more wisdom and tools for well beign than they ever had!!!
