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 Vivian and welcome! If
Hi Vivian and welcome! If ever there was a time to ignore the doctor's advice, this is it. So glad you made your way here.
Your symptoms seem pretty normal. 'Celes move around all the time, and react to circumstances all day long. You are young, you feel the bulge but not all the time, you are already working diligently on posture.......add it all up, and you are going to feel improvement. This posture changes everything. If you are sensing a change already, imagine yourself a year or two down the road.
There isn't really a cure for prolapse, so we can't predict how much reversal of symptoms you might experience. Going Whole Woman gives you the knowledge and confidence to get on with life and deal with the inevitable bad day, knowing that the next day will be better. You free yourself from fear and worry, so you can focus on all the healthy things that you can do for yourself. This has touched every aspect of my life.
Most women end up with some degree of prolapse eventually, including those who have never had kids. So there is no point even speculating on why it happened to you. This posture was a big change for me, and there is no doubt in my mind that my decades of wrong posture contributed every bit as much to my eventual prolapse as did childbearing.
Much has been written here about position of the uterus. You might want to think of it as just another manifestation of prolapse that has the potential to correct itself over time by implementation of WW posture.
Keep working hard on this. The rewards are so great. - Surviving

Hi Vivian. I am also glad to
Hi Vivian. I am also glad to hear that you are ignoring your doctor's misguided advice. I have only been here a few months myself but I agree with Surviving. I find it somewhat frustrating that the celes move around all the time. I am working very hard on the posture and exercises but a bad day inevitably gives me a bad attitude. I know it shouldn't but I begin thinking that I'm working hard and not seeing enough results. Then I think about my choices: Surgery that may cause more surgeries and I may come out worse than I went in, or keep working at WW Posture and take the good and the bad together. I recently had a couple of uncomfortable days but today was pretty good. I was able to do my shopping, laundry, cooking, etc. and I felt "almost" normal again. I hope that with time this will continue to improve. I am sure that if you do the posture and exercises, you will find much improvement also and much faster, as I am 52 and had one large baby. Goodluck in your progress and I'm sure you will get many more responses and ideas from other members here who have more wisdom to share.

relief!
wow thanks for the fast replies! very reassuring to hear from you two.... and it is so empowering to apply this knowledge and help ourselves. rah for femal power ;)
I'm thinking of taking up ballet this year, just for fun ( and for my prolapse of course)
I'm built like an Amazon, but sure I can be graceful in this, it's all about attitude-
thanks again.
oh, and forgot to ask: what's this I keep hearing about T-tapp? is it effective for prolapse?
(something I learned yesterday: the female organs 'descending' in Traditional Chinese Medicine has to do with depletion of the spleen. interesting... modern women suffer from it more.... we're supposed to nourish our spleens with proper nutrition and if possible, acupuncture. cool eh?)

Ballet
Vivian, I have taken ballet classes and I find a great emphasis on wrong posture. Always being told to pull in my stomach and tuck in my butt. You have the DVD First Aid for Prolapse, so you already know what I'm about to say (but I'll say it anyway). Much of the workout is based upon ballet moves, but with constant reminders to remain in Whole Woman posture (belly relaxed, chest pulled up, the total opposite of suck-and-tuck). You seriously have to get a handle on this posture, and after that you can modify most any move to be prolapse-friendly. - Surviving
