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.

Put away that tape measure,
Put away that tape measure, girlfriend!! Seriously now, you may get some takers on your survey, but for most of us, these organs are constantly on the move. I know you're looking for reassurance, but this is way more "checking" than you should be doing, for your sanity's sake. - Surviving

Optimisitc, I have to say
Optimisitc, I have to say that I know you are probably scared or angry at the setback since your daughter was injured, but I think it would give your poor worried mind a rest to take Surviving's advice. If you want to track your cervic position, maybe do it by a week to week basis, or a during period/after period basis, if you are curious about it. I have checked mine several times and it is changing a lot, but I decided for myself that that part of the prolapse its better for my sanity to just let it alone. Maybe just moving on and continuing on would give you some peace of mind:)

Optimistic, I think it is
Optimistic, I think it is safe to say that every member here, who has been doing this work for any length of time, has experienced at least one major setback. For me, that setback was what kicked me into high gear with posture work, after dabbling around half-assed for months. Put it behind you and move forward. There is no cure for prolapse, but there is management. No one isolated event is responsible for it, as much as it may seem so at times. So back to WW work, and back to your life! - Surviving

Just one more thought
Hi Optimistic, I just thought of something else that might help. I believe that's true what Surviving said about there being no absolute cure for prolapse but that it is managable. At first when I thought about this it seemed dooming. But then I thought of my asthma. I have asthma, but I never experience it because I manage it with daily Advair. I think if you really work on it you can get to a point where you hardly notice your prolapse as well. And besides, the 'cure' for prolapse is a posture correction (among other things) that makes me feel more beautiful and poised and helps me to be healthier overall. I think the medical world will know more about prolapse in time, also. When I was a kid I used to have to have breathing treatments every day, took about a half hour. This was to take away the breathlessness when it occured. Now all I do is take a puff of advair once, lasts ten seconds, and I never get asthma. Hope this helps, I think you'll find that you are stronger than you think!

Very well said, oceangirl.
Very well said, oceangirl. This posture is an absolute gift, it is a life improvement in countless ways, both now and in the future. Without prolapse, I wouldn't have this knowledge. I have a greater love and respect for my body than I ever used to have. I don't hate or fear my symptoms, and I don't worry about the future because I know it will be a healthier future than I was headed for, just a few short years ago. - Surviving

I hear the curiosity in your post
Hi Optimistic
I think I understand where you are coming from, and have respect your curiosity. I too think that making some observations yourself on your own body, of where your cervix is at different times of day, different parts of your cycle, full/empty bowel, full/empty bladder, and over a series of weeks will teach you a lot about your body and help you to visualise what is happening re your symptoms. There are so many variables.
I think you will find that, particularly after having a baby, it will be more mobile than you would think. This is not bad. It is just what happens! The pelvic organs configure themselves around each other, depending on which is distended at the time, and what you are doing with your body , in what position ... but remember that the position of your cervix is not critical. Getting all your organs forward, and off your pelvic 'floor' so they are supported on bone, is the critical thing.
Looking forward to hearing the results of your observations!
