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.

What you need to do
Hi Fifi
How are you going with the posture? Have you amended your clothing style? How is your diet?
Yes, the posture will tone your tummy muscles. You need strong tummy muscles if you have strong pelvic floor muscles, because they balance each other with the pubic bones as the common structural partners. Walking in WW posture, with long, relaxed, unhurried strides is great for this because it alternately stretches and contracts the abdominal muscles, all three types, transverse, internal and external oblique, and rectus, as you alternate your legs backwards and forwards.
It also moves your abdominal and pelvic contents around, and kind of massages these organs back to where they should be, as long as your posture supports this movement.
Just don't hurry. Hurry means stress. Stress means tense up and curl up. You need to remain uncurled to allow your abdominal muscles to stretch out fully.
Leave your back foot on the ground for as long as you can, to get the full stretch at the front of your body with each stride, and to make your quids on the front of your thighs work hard to flex your thigh, and bring your back leg up and forward for its next step forward .
Do some big wing flaps as well, while you walk. This brings the lattimus dorsi into the equation, which will reinforce your lumbar curve and strengthen your shoulder and arm muscles.
All your muscles work together in walking, as long as your posture is wound up into WW posture, and no muscles are allowed to flap in the wind and stay scrunched up all the time.

wing flaps
Go to Youtube and look up Christine Kent's channel, Wholewomaninc. I think there is a scene of Christine wing flapping in one of her clips. You've basically got it right. It is easier to watch than have it explained. I need to sleep right now. I am in Australia. Catch you tomorrow.

Congrats on having the pessary out!!
Oh my gosh, Fifi, you are so better you won't be using the pessary anymore? Praise Dear God and everything He ever made and wow o wow o wow does this give me hope. : ) Now I have to go back and review which kind of POP you had and how far and what you did.
I also am taking glucosamine, so that gives me hope, too. Went with my dad today to the cemetery and was really doing it for his sake. On the way home we were stopping for something nice to eat since it's Mother's Day, but I listened to my body, which was feeling like I was sitting on top of all my organs and that it just really wasn't good for me to be out and sitting, not even for a few more minutes in the car to get there. So asked him to take me directly home. I still have the stuck tampon feeling plus a feeling that my u is huge and like I am sitting on it, laying on it, whatever. Can't shake that feeling of my uterus in the wrong place. I don't go into all fours position like this because it feels like it stresses my uterus too much to go on all fours if I have not FIRST gotten my u back up by inversion or whatever. Arg.
Trying to just be a grateful person on this Mother's Day. I can hear neighbors celebrating the day outside. Sigh. : )
