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.

hey marie
well I am going to try for another baby soon and I plan to keep you all informed about the details. So maybe I will be another story of hope.
What to tell her-
maybe to hold her upper body in ww posture if she can- to rest on elbows and knees frequently- to birth as gently as possible- that pressure is pretty normal to feel when the baby drops- not to strain on the toilet at all- maybe you could turn her onto the V2 supporter?
Glad she has such a good friend in you.

thanks for your concerned reply. I'll lend her my V2. Great idea. Also the info about it getting more challenging when baby drops.
Blessings, Marie

Pregnant with POP
Hi Marie,
I am now 37 weeks pregnant. I got POP from having my first bub (who has just turned 3). What's helped me most has also been wearing the V2 supporter (I got the prenatal cradle plus) for activity and trying to maintain posture as much as possible. I found continuing to go on regular walks helps a lot and I also have a lie down every afternoon for about 20 minutes to half an hour. I'm planning to birth gently and in an upright position (anything but on my back). I've been really careful about not getting constipated - at least 2 litres of water a day and lots of fruit plus a fibre supplement. The first trimester was the most difficult and since then I haven't felt any worse than when I first developed prolapse. I'm a bit less comfortable in these last few weeks but I'm just taking it a bit easier.
Hope that's helpful for your friend.

thanks for the encouragement, for my friend and myself, if we should try again. I am so glad your pg is going well. you are truly an inspiration, and it seems knowledge and practice is the key to wellness. Thank you for paving the way for those who follow -- it gives us courage to believe the seemingly impossible is possible. Blessings for your last weeks and for your gentle delivery. Your body knows exactly what to do.
