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 Eileen and welcome,
Hi Eileen and welcome,
Not sure fron what you have said what exercises you are doing?
Once you get your book, you will start to learn what is really going on with your body. And, then hopefully you can wean yourself away from using the pessary.
Many of us started with that heavy bulgy feeling, but with this work, patience, and time those feelings will start to alleviate. You will learn all about whole woman posture, exercise to help strengthen the posture, and proper elimination in the bathroom. Start checking into your dietary habits to. Look into what foods are constipating for you, try to get the processed foods out of your diet and add for fresh fruits and veg.
Whole woman has been a whole new start for many of us who weren't really paying attention to our whole selves. Whole woman gives us that fresh new start.

Eileen - pessary
Hi Eileen and wecome. I strongly agree with Aging Gracefully and hope that you can ditch that pessary as you get more into the WW work. It may be hard to keep a pessary in if you have a rectocele, and they have been known to make rectocele worse. If you are lucky it may mask the symptoms for awhile, but in the long run, anything that holds the vagina open is working against the principles of moving the organs forward and out of the vagina, which should be as flat and closed as possible. - Surviving

Thank you Aging Gracefully and Surviving60
Thank you ladies for your comments. About 1.5 years ago I started weight lifting and do lots of squats and lunges and also work on the core quite a bit. I am 48 years old and was in denial when the prolapse started. I do not run but do believe that all of this exercise is what made things progress. I visited the dr on Saturday and am so glad I found this site on Friday. Just as the blogs mentioned, the dr. really pushed the surgery. I had been doing the kegels with 2 PTs for about 8 months and did get worse. I did not get any DVDs, just the book and hope it will teach me the posture everyone is talking about. I'm not a huge fan of the pessary and cannot take it out myself but it is keeping it from leaving my body. It is still there, but at least it is not out like before. I am taking this day by day and all the ladies really give me something to aspire to! Thank you!
