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.

differences between pregnancies
Hi All
This is a theme that comes up continually. I think it is because the first pregnancy we have is usually with no pronounced prolapses. Everything stretches during pregnancy, maybe you have an episiotomy or other birth trauma. Postpartum period sometimes sees the prolapse manifest, then you recover over the following year or so, then fall pregnant again.
The difference the second time around is that prolapse has already visited when you become (I hate that term 'fall!) pregnant so everything has already been stretched and some damage done, which you may not even realise at the time. Therefore you may experience the second pregnancy quite differently, as you are in a changed body.
Do others think similarly on this?
Cheers
Louise

I agree Louise
its the first pg that changes a woman's status from 'never been pg' to 'having once been pg'. its the first pg that changes you, emotionally and physically, into a mother. so the second time around, its all different because YOU are different. your body is already changes and also maybe you notice things that you didn't before.
I had rib pain from my second pg on, but I know why. I was in my 8th mo and my ds headbutted me in the ribs and dislocated one of my 'floating ribs'. now it sticks out at this weird-o angle. good thing I'm not a swimsuit model.
