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.

Welcome Baltomom
Sorry to hear of your difficulties. But things can be made more comfortable for you, and it may help your anxiety if you read some previous posts by other women who have also found themselves going into a pregnancy with prolapse. If you type in pregnancy and prolapse and similar into the search box on the top left of this page it will bring up previous threads where women have talked about just these things. Lots of information to be found until there are some more responses to your post.

Hi baltomom - what do you
Hi baltomom - what do you mean that your cervix is two inches to the exterior? Two inches outside of the vaginal introitus (opening)? Have you learned about the posture yet? I am one year and a few months into this work and I have seen lots of improvement dring this time. What's more, I am also pg now, a few weeks ahead of you, and my prolapse has been better this pregnancy than last, thank God. I always used to get that uncomfortable pelvic heaviness during pregnancy - even in the first two trimesters- but this pregnancy it has yet to appear. It is possible to improve using WW posture and awareness of how you carry your body. Sometimes, when I do feel any heaviness or discomfort from vaginal varicoces or prolapse, I get on my hands and knees for a while and it helps.

Welcome Baltomom. You had
Welcome Baltomom. You had some complications with your previous birth and I'm not one of the ones who can speak with knowledge about the possible affects of all that. There are lots of moms on here, and others who may have more insights. Do search the forum for more posts. My impression from 2+ years on this site is that at some point things will rise, and although there may be a range of what's normal, it's not going to be the same in each case. So do read up on WW posture and start learning it immediately. Read the FAQ's and scroll down to the pix and diagrams. Read all over Christine's site and check out the first item on the on-line video page (under Resources). You will need this knowledge! Good luck to you and I hope you hear back from more experienced preggo ladies. - Surviving

sounds pretty bad
how variable is the position of your cervix? How long has it been out? How are your bms? Can you push your cervix way up?

Fellow pregnant lady!
Hang in there! I am a fellow pregnant Mama with a prolapse. I was told by week 20 things should get a bit better (I'm nearly 13 weeks), but I may carry very low, with a little more pressure on the vaginal area. So I would hang in there and wait a bit longer. And you are not alone! I am right there in the same boat with you- and its comforting to me to know that there is someone else here that has all the same questions and concerns. There are some seriously wonderful and knowledgeable ladies on this site. Don't get discouraged!

"carrying low"
Hi Panda, you have just turned a lightbulb on for me. I never realised that carrying low meant pressure in the vagina and vulva with the uterus low in the pelvis. I always thought carrying low meant low out the front.
Carrying low is perhaps polite and refined code for uterine prolapse during pregnancy? Prolapse has more negative connotations than carrying low. It could be a good thing, as prolapse in pregnancy is not necessarily an alarm bell for later on.
Baltomom, I can understand your dreading being heavily pregnant. How is your posture? Are you able to keep some lumbar curve in your spine and lift your tailbone? Are you able to raise your chest?
