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.

Hi Ally,Sorry to hear that
Hi Ally,
Sorry to hear that you are still feeling down. It is hard having small children and dealing with prolapse too!
Many of us here walk and this seems to help the prolapse as long as posture is maintained. There are lots of other posts relating to discussion about other exercise and it seems to be individual too according to degree of prolapse etc!
Hope you are feeling better soon, thinking of you! If you feel too bad don't hesitate to go see a professional who deals with "lowness" I have done this and it has helped me a great deal!

Hi Ally,I agree with
Hi Ally,
I agree with Michelle. Walking is probably best right now. Make sure you understand the principles behind the posture so your brain can tell your body what to do.

I participated in a 4 mile
I participated in a 4 mile run/walk yesterday. Of course I walked, my husband ran it with our daughter in the jogging stroller. First of all, it made me realize how deconditioned I am, I was EXHAUSTED and am quite sore today. Halfway through the walk, I started to feel very low and draggy. I slowed down for a few minutes, and REALLY concentrated on the posture, especially in my upper back. It helped immensely! Was able to resume the faster pace.
And today, although I do have some muscle soreness, the prolapse feels quite high.
Just wanted to write a bit about my experience and to reiterate the importance and efficacy of the posture, and that walking is great exercise. It simply works.
Thanks, Christine!
Peace,
Michele

Coool!!!
Thanks so much for sharing that and what a milestone for all of us....especially newbies. I am so happy for you and it's great news to hear that the posture helped you to the finish line. :) But your gusto got you there! I was cleaning out the closet yesterday and found my recreational boxing gloves. If anyone else on the forum has tried to go back to martial arts or kickboxing I would love to hear about your experiences.
Go Michele!!! :)

Right on!
Michele…thank you for this! We are bringing this indeed simple, yet profoundly important, alternative to a planet of women who only have the surgical perspective from which to make crucial decisions. Pelvic reconstructive surgery, largely described during the 20th century, has been an exceedingly powerful force – both economically and academically, and therefore has moved freely around the world as the most “advanced” treatment known to man. Thankfully, women know better.

Hi AllyI hope the PPD
Hi Ally
I hope the PPD clears up for you soon. I suffered from that after the birth of my oldest and didn't realize it at the time. took a year until I was back to normal and it really interfered with my ability to bond with my dd. I probably wouldn't have taken any meds either, even if I had recognized it for what it was. I'm sure walking will be helpful, both for the prolapse and the depression. Also, make sure you are eating well. easy to forget to feed yourself when there's a baby around.
