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.

FAQs on the homepage
Hi -- you're right, the forum has a lot of creative discussion, but the one-stop you're after is the FAQs on the homepage. I think the things you are asking are pretty clearly explained there, but I also recommend getting the DVD. Yes, it's worth it.
As for myself, I mostly just sit on the floor in the classic positions described in the FAQs. My laptop comes down there, I nurse, fold laundry, watch TV, etc. there. I sit in a chair to eat and at other social occasions where I can't use the floor. I just don't let my back touch the back of the chair and use the strength of my own spine to hold myself up. When I drive, I use a rolled up towel in my lumbar region. When I am a passenger, I sit cross legged.
Oh, and you want *everything* to go forward. Check out Christine's blogs -- that concept is very clearly illustrated there. (and/or read the book).

Chair
Hey,
I have a kneeling chair, this is the only chair I am sitting on. If I am not at home, I sit on the floor on my heels or crosslegged. I always rest lying down on my side, but if I lay down, my 2 nurslings would jump right on me, so that is not resting anymore but balancing a baby and a toddler while protecting my boobs...fun!
Hope this helps!

PS: BTW, I have problems in the car, I hate those soft back tilted carseats! Now I am sitting on a big hardcover book in the car (lol), and hoping to find some solution!

floor
Oh my - there is no way I can sit on a bare floor or any hard surface with my tailbone.... This is concerning. I like the part about not leaning back, though, to let your muscles do the work, although it'll take me some time to get better with that.

Thank you DVD, Blogs and FAQS
Thank you. I have read through the FAQs some and discovered a couple of those blogs, but need to do some more exploring. I think, being new to all of this, it's just a bit overwhelming...sometimes information overload. I do have the book, and it has some good info in it, but I feel like it requires wading through a lot of info (which I will eventually want) to get some of the more basic info (which I am ready for now). I hope that makes sense. Thank you for recommending the DVD. I may go ahead and order that. I saw a clip of it on You tube and it looks good.
I'm also glad you said that about letting your spine do the work. :-)

kneeling chair
I just reread and caught this. I was actually wondering about those. Did you find it at Backsavers? Thank you!

Chair
Mine is from a garage sale, lol. But I googled it and saw lots of great peaces! I think many members here have one of these.
