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.

Not strange at all
Hi fc12
Your post resonates with me somewhat. I don't think it is strange at all. Many people who have had serious illnesses, traumas and injuries (much worse than POP) talk about the way their setbacks, which are often life-threatening, have focussed their lives on what is really important to them.
Childbirth is one of life's major experiences, which marks us for our whole lives, and we are reminded of it by the presence of our children; also our POPs. Fortunate are the women who never acquire POPs from vaginal birth. I am sure they bear other scars that have come from bad things that have happened in their lives. What beige lives must be led by people who never look tragedy in the face!
Giving thanks for all of life's experiences is really important, and helps us to deal with all the negative things that happen.
Hope your positive approach and your recovery continues. POP is indeed a whole body condition, affecting the body, the mind, the spirit. You have indeed found the silver lining.
((Hugs))

strange celebration
yeah, isn't it weird when life happens like that? when what you think is the most awful thing in the world actually brings some hidden blessings along with it?
my prolapse also had a huge impact on my relationship with my kids. it taught me to slow down and prioritize my health - two things I really needed to learn to do. and my kids have only benefitted. so weird 'cuz initially all I kept thinking was how awfully sad it would be for my kids to have a mom who can't keep up with them. turns out they needed a mom to slow down and enjoy life with them.
I'm real happy for you that you're able to find prolapse's blessings for you. I hope that this is the worst challenge we ever face, and that if we have to face any others in the future, we find our blessings there as well.
I think your grief and disappointment will begin to fade in time. hang in there.
