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.

thanks for the update...
Thanks for the update Badmirror and Proudmama (what a coincidence you are both 7 months pp). I just love hearing stories of progress, so keep them coming. I too am feeling better (I am crossing my fingers as I say that). I am just over 4 months pp and have really noticed some good changes in last 2 weeks. At 3 months pp I decided to toss the V2 supporter - I was sooo sick of it. I would go to around noon most days, then wear a tampon to get me through the later part of the day. I then realized tampons weren't really doing too much. My prolapse (urethrocele) is so low, a tampon just goes right past it. Soo, the past week and a half I've been without support, and yes I still feel a bit dragging, but less of the "falling out feeling". The P.T. I saw said it was "not that bad" - but she looked at me lying down! Anyway, I am now feeling better and am more playful with my son - which he is really enjoying! I don't feel stable enough to run, but I can walk and stand without much discomfort. I find walking to be quite therapeutic, and my prolapse always feels better after! I have what I consider to be fairly active days prolapse-wise i.e. housework, groceries, walking the dog, taking my son to the park, and my prolapse (for the most part) does not feel worse the next day. I DO try to lie down in the afternoon for at least 30 minutes. As for what I do to help the prolapse....posture like crazy, nauli, firebreathing, and some of the ballet workout (whenever I can fit it in to my day). Things are crazy right now as we are trying to sell our house, and will be moving to a new house in the next 6 weeks! I'm hoping my prolapse will continue to behave. As we all know, life goes on with prolapse, and now I'm feeling well enough not to have prolapse on the brain every second of the day!....I don't know what I would have done without this forum - it has been my sanity!

thanks for posting....I am 8
thanks for posting....I am 8 1/2 months pp...I like your analogy using the ice cube...that has been so true for me. I have never used a tampon or any other type of support and I can now stay on my feet more and more to the point that I don't think i will ever have to. And on days where I've pushed myself too hard I can do a few of the exercises davemayamom mentioned and that always relieves alittle of the heaviness. I got brave today and went to the gym...i walked on a treadmill for 20 min and did an eliptical machine for about 10 min..after that i walked around the track for a bit..I felt alittle heaviness but I came home and did firebreathing and am now resting so i feel good! I have ridden my bike and walked around the neighborhood but i would say this is the longest i have walked in 8 1/2 months.

I always appreciate your posts too, as you are a bit ahead of me in time frame -- I love seeing you improve, especially since I'm guessing you were a bit worse than me. I hope the walking made you feel good. I know that Christine has posted about the benefit of walking in posture. This makes so much sense to me! And I remember reading an inspirational story about a woman who began an intense walking program 8 years after her last birth. Her perineum was really messed up, but after a year of committed walking, she claims she experienced amazing amounts of healing in that area. I figure humans are made to walk, a lot. So I walk, a lot. And I feel good.

Good for you! Hope you survive the house stuff -- I know how that goes. I agree about the walking, and not that our bodies all behave the same, but just to let you know, my biggest jump in healing so far was around 5 months pp.

I love updates!
I really do, keeps me hopeful and positive.
I'm so happy to hear that you're doing so much better. and just so you know, I felt a huge improvement at around 6 mo or so and then again at maybe 14 or 15 months? pp. don't remember exactly.
I think that not all of us can expect full reversal, but at 7 mo pp I also think you have plenty of healing potential. no way is your body back to its prepg state yet.
