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.

RE: Help - need advice and support on 2nd birth
Deb,
I did not have the severity of problems you did. But want you to know that I beleive you will find the right path for you simply because you are searching and researching. My first child was a c/s, second child natural homebirth afterwhich I prolapsed, and third child natural homebirth. I was terrified, too, though again, my symptoms were stress incontinence, falling out feeling, and difficulty having bowel movements. But after much research, I finally came to peace with my decision to homebirth again and my experience is that I immediately postpartum after my second birth was the worst experience I have had. AFter having my third child I have to say I feel whole. I did not suffer any of the devestating feelings physically or emotionally that I suffered after #2. So for me not having a c/s was the best decision. It was a quick labor and birth (the midwives almost didn't make it!). I believe that you will choose what is best for your body. Make quiet time for yourself to contemplate and listen to what you heart and body have to say (or if you have faith what your God has to say). Just wanted to offer my support and well-wishes for this pregnancy and birth.

Hi Christine,
Well sad news to report again, I have just miscarried at 12 weeks, second one this year. I don't want to dwell on the negatives too much, but was just wondering if there would be any reason my bladder prolapse would cause these miscarriages?
Fingers crossed, it will be third time lucky for us!
Regards,
Debbie

RE: Help - need advice and support on 2nd birth
Christine,
As always, thanks for your advice.
I think I mentioned in a post a while ago that I was going to see a Urogynaecologist/Obstetrician who is a leading doctor in our country. My main reason was to get her thoughts on natural vaginal birth vs c-section given the problems I had with my first birth. To my surprise she said she didn't believe that there was any hard or justified evidence to suggest that a c-section would help me, and in fact, due to the recovery time would probably make me feel worse. She believes that the least intervention possible is the best. I was a little taken a back as all the other health professionals, apart from my Naturopath and Osteopath, have said have a c-section - maybe the times they are a changing!!!
Thanks again for your support and encouragement.
I'll keep you posted.
Deb

Deb,
I am so sorry! I am certainly thinking of you and praying comfort and healing for your body and your heart. I have a friend who miscarried twice around your stage and the problem was hormonal (I think her progesterone levels dropped) so they gave her hormones with her third pregnancy and he will turn 1 year old at the end of June. I do pray blessings for you.

Jane,
Thank you so much for your support, it is certainly always a comfort to hear other people's success stories.
In our country (Australia) they generally don't do tests for reasons for miscarriage unless you have 3, but I have asked to be tested as I am in my mid 30's (don't know how I got here so quickly!!!) and I don't want to risk having another one if it is something that can be fixed easily, like your friend.
Again, thanks for your kind words, support and prayers.
Regards,
Deb
