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 leelee and welcome to WW.
Hi leelee and welcome to WW. Pessaries can be extremely tricky to fit, do not provide symptom relief in all situations, and can aggravate prolapse. I don’t see a pessary as a quickie solution. If you decide to pursue getting one, I’d go to a very patient doctor who is willing to work with you. I was not aware these could be had on-line without a prescription…..this may depend on what county you’re in. And be sure you are shown how to remove and clean it yourself. It shouldn’t just be left in there, as many docs will suggest.
Whole Woman is not just an exercise program. It is a permanent correction in your posture that will help you stabilize and reverse the symptoms over time. Job One is for you to figure out what this posture is. You’ve taken the first step, now it’s posture time. You need to be in posture to do the workouts so obviously you must start with it. Once you know what it is, you are working on it as you go throughout your day. It takes time! Ask your questions here, we’re always around to help. - Surviving

Getting started
Don't know if this will help, but for me, with a bulging prolapse nearly all the time, I do my WW workout immediately upon getting up in the morning...when my bulges are nice and tucked up and in. I step out of bed, throw on my workout clothes, take a quick pee, and get right into the warm ups. I can usually get thru most if not all of the workout before things fully descend. And I've noticed that with each day, the stability lasts longer. Perhaps this could work for you.

I have a fear of beginning because I am afraid I will do it wrong and end up worse instead of better. I have the book and the dvd but I wish I had an actual class or instructor so I would know I'm doing it correctly. Any suggestions?

CarolAnn - Welcome to the forum. The combination of the book and the First Aid for Prolapse DVD give quite good explanations of WW posture and movement. There is also a ton of help and information on this forum and throughout the site. Relaxing the belly is the hardest part in the beginning, if like so many of us, you have been taught to pull everything in tight.
If you would like to get in touch with a pratitioner, there are several in the US, Canada, UK and Australia. Check the WW Practitioners tab up above. If you cannot travel to visit one, they can consult over the phone or Skype.
But have a little confidence in the meantime....give it a go and ask your questions here. - Surviving

If you see a practitioner, have them take a photo of you in the
YOU can have the practitioner take your photo while in a pose so you can use it as a reminder for yourself if you have a tendency to forget when you get home.
