Ideas on recovering from another miscarriage

Dearest Deb,

My heart aches to hear this news. The new website is almost ready to go live

I did water aerobics a few years ago, but that was before my severe prolapse so I can't say if it would help with that. However, it helped me lose weight. I am unsure about what effect weight loss might have on my prolapse, but it might be beneficial, because the less fat in your abdomen might mean less abdominal pressure pushing things down. So I imagine it would be very good for you.

Hi

I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss and subsequent bladder prolapse problems.

When i had irritation and problems urinating i found that urinating into a bowl in a sort of cat position helped me void fully and then infection didn't follow.

before i learned this tip from christine i found that pure cranberry juice (from concentrate mixed with water was great for bringing down the burning urge feeling down.

HOwever before finding the good stuff i had tried some stinking cranberry juice. The shop stuff was just undrinkable and even one of the health food store ones wasn't so nice. Then i found one that was delicious. So i'd suggest giving a few a try.

Overall then i really would suggest getting in touch with a well trained Traditional chinese medicine practioner who does herbs and needles.

Try and make sure they are well trained. Perhaps by checking in with a major body of accrediation. IN the U.S i think this is the Nccaom?.

Also, i recon it's important that you like the sound of them over the phone, because, i also go for the principle that there's an exchange of energy going on in the session too. For that i think it's good to get someone you click with and you think is empathic, calm etc..

Oh and enquire as to whether they see more than one person per session. I once went to a lady who had three people going in three different rooms at once and i don't think this is good practice.

If money's put's you off the TCM, i'd recommend the paul pitchford book i wrote about in lifestyle. It's called "healing with whole food". I really do think an appropriate diet for your type ( in line with TCM ideas) can make a huge difference in people's lives.

Best Wishes

Hi Deb,

I now think my recurrent bladder irritations are from the cystocele. I also get bladder irritations when i don't drink enough and when it is that feeling of dehydration and urge is bad that water doesn't help i found that eating watermelon really helps. I suggested it to several people and they are now doing it also.

Give it a try. It's pretty readily available and yummy. I find cranberry juice a bit acidic for my stomach but i am sure that is good at killing some bacteria. Best of luck. Wish you well.
