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.

weight loss and prolapse
Hi Chicka - I too can recall reading that weight loss can have an effect on prolapse. Eventually if you keep up with good posture and exercise (what else would you do?), things hopefully will have a way of settling down and working themselves out. WW posture is an amazing thing. I'm post-meno and I'm trying to lose a few pounds, hoping to see some improvement in the belly area. If it means a setback for my prolapse, I will consider it part of the deal and I'll have to work that much harder. Hope you get some more expert replies. - Surviving

Thank you for your response,
Thank you for your response, Surviving. The setback doesn't annoy me so much as intrigue me. I find it fascinating that so many factors can so quickly affect your body in general, prolapses in particular. Must be a post baby thing, sure didn't notice it pre kids. Good luck on the weight loss, just try not to lose too much too fast lest your pelvic organs lose their cushioning :)

Not much danger of that
Not much danger of that happening! But if it does, I shall certainly say that I was warned.....

build up your bum :)
I think if you work to build your glute muscles up, you won't notice the loss of fat pad.

How ?
Hello Dear Alemama and Surviving....Can you tell us how it is you build you bum and glutes ? And Surviving, how can you work for improvement in the belly? (beyond the diet and the walks and the WW Dvds that is).

glutes
I don't know if this would help but I really try and engage my glutes (bum muscles) whenever I am straightening up from bending or I am lifting something. I also think half-squat exercises are good for bum muscles.

Walking
I realize that one can't actually target belly fat, one has to lose weight all over in order to see any improvement there. So really, I just do my nightly WW walk, primarily for my posture and my mental health, but also to burn up some calories which will HOPEFULLY translate into loss of a few pounds eventually......

Bum and glutes
I have found that a good strategy for this is to spend more time on the floor or the ground. The best way to build up muscle is to use it, and to use it through its full range of movement. I found this out from sitting on the ground on my little cushion for whole weekends at music festivals. At the end of the weekend I would be expecting to feel stiff and sore, but have found several times now that by the end of the Festival my legs and butt feel really strong and supple. Getting up and down off the ground became easier as the weekend wore on.
