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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Hi Momtwice - we've already
Hi Momtwice - we've already given you the articles to explain why kegels actually aggravate prolapse - so please don't fall into that approach. I can tell you from many years of doing them, that they don't help and they actually make things worse. Lots of walking in very mindful WW posture is about the best thing you can do for yourself right now. Learn firebreathing. And don't worry - yes it's true that PP period brings lots of ups and downs in prolapse recovery. I'm glad your doc did not overreact to the situation. - Surviving

Dear Momtwice
Congratulations on your new baby! Kegels are really a misunderstood thing. when you have a chance, you will want to read Christine's article here. It seems like Mr Kegel had an idea that took the world by storm and yet I have not heard of anyone who really analyzed what was going on when we did them, until Christine. Many women have a worsening of pop symptoms when doing them. Great that you have adjusted things like lifting and I hope that you are able to put the posture into your life completely. You are young now, with two little ones, and this posture will carry you through your entire life, to make you taller, stronger, healthier in every way. It is easy to forget about it when you start to feel better .... stay with it and you will see lifetime improvement. Also, use your treadmill when the weather is nasty but try to get outside for your walks at all other times. The walking on a normal surface involves different muscles and timing. It is better for us than the treadmill. But, the treadmill is great for times when you can't otherwise do your walk......and always always walk in WW posture. Best wishes to you!
