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.

fragility
right now, at 6 weeks pp, you have to pay close attention to yourself. you just carried and birthed a baby, which only speaks to your body's strength. but even strong people are at times in a healing mode, which is where you are right now. the 6-week thing is a myth, it takes longer than that to recover from pg and childbirth.
I will speak for myself here, I felt fragile too when I first found my prolapse. its not a good feeling, that's for sure.
but in time I felt strong, stronger than I did before because I knew that I had stabilized the prolapse and even reversed it somewhat. strong enough to KNOW that I could have another baby. no way I would have chosen to do that if I were still feeling fragile. so in my case, yes, that feeling went away.
and I am not always watchful and careful. I mean, the posture has become second nature to me, even when I'm lifting or running or doing whatever, but sometimes I just do what I want even if it means getting out of posture for a bit. I know that if things feel worse afterwards I can easily bring it all back to baseline by spending a few days doubling up on firebreathing or nauli or plies. no biggie.

Granolamom -- You are a
Granolamom -- You are a great example. Of course you didn't feel too fragile if you are having another baby! Thank you for your thoughts. In time I hope to gain more confidence in my ability to re-stabilize after a bad day or so. I'm going to wait a few more weeks to try nauli or firebreathing, but I'm looking forward to it.

Fragility
Hi Mamato2boys
What Granolamom says is true. It just takes time. I think you will find that your whole being at the moment is focussed on your babies. That is the way you were designed, to ensure that your babies survive. As your baby gets older, and your focus shifts outward again, bit by bit, your body will show you how it can recover, you will be learning what it can do again. The more times it recovers, and the more times it shows you that you can do things, the more confidence you will regain in it.
Baby steps. Don't hurry it.
