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.

sorry about that
believe me, I know how it feels to start to come to terms with a cystocele only to develop a rectocele shortly thereafter. so I'm sorry, Liv {{{hugs}}}
If its any consolation, I had another baby and now I'm having another one. so a rectocele is no reason to stop you from having as many more babies as you want.
and another thing, my rectocele is exactly as it was when I first found it, completely asymptomatic, small and high. pg and childbirth had no detrimental effect on it at all.

Thanks, Gmom, and another Q
Thanks a lot, Granolamom.
I have another Q for you. I remember you mentioned that you had to pee every half hour or so-in the beginnig. How did that change and when did it start to improve for you?
I started the posture/nauli/firebreathing 6 weeks ago (I am 7 mo pp and tandeming, so I have no more time) and feeling some improvement but my bladder still troubles me a lot (no incontinence though and I can fully empty it).
TIA

very gradual shift
I'm not sure, Liv
it was a very gradual change, one day I realized that I wasn't running to the bathroom every hour anymore. I do know that it wasn't within weeks, and I'm guessing that it was sooner than 3 months.

seems like
it gets to a point and then just kinda stays there- then gradual improvements start to show. That is how it happened for me. I got here with just the rectocele- started the posture and other lifestyle changes and then like a slap in the face my anterior wall started to soften, and bam I had a cystocele. Next thing I knew I could reach my cervix (never before could I do this) and I was so sad. I wondered if what I was doing caused it all to get worse. But I stuck with it and gradually my cervix moved back up, my front wall became more concave and the rectocele got much smaller. The uterus is key here. Moving your uterus up and forward pulls everything else up and forward with it. Nauli really helped reposition my uterus. Keep on taking good care of your body. Rest well. It does get better.
I haven't really reported much postpartum yet- I need to do a full report- but I will say that @ 2 months pp my rectocele is no worse than it was after baby # 3. I was going to wait at least a year before I decided if my body could handle yet another pregnancy- but already I am thinking it will be okay....

Thanks, girls...
I guess we are similar gals, I am 29 with 3 kiddos, babywearer, cloth diaper user, forever nurser, kinda crunchy mom too. :)
Thanks for your inputs. I just started this roller-coaster adventure, but I am encouraged by you a lot! Thanks again!
I guess I will just keep up with the good work and stay positive and hopeful.
