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.

Welcome Ms.Sunshine!
I am so happy for you that you found WW before your surgery! This work is for a lifetime and your overall health will be so much better off for it. Ive found it simply incredible how my entire body- from feet to head- has responded to the WW posture. Enjoy your journey!! :)

Hello Sunshine,
Hello Sunshine,
I'm glad you found us too. I got the info too late and hugely regret having gotten a hysterectomy. I have a cystocele and I'm doing all right with WW posture and exercises but it could have been so much better for me. Knowing I could now experience a vaginal vault collapse looms over me. Susun Weed also has some things to say about not getting a hysterectomy. Nice save! Bb

Let it out
Releasing emotions is great way to keep your sanity. I believe it helped me through the first 2 months of my pop. I would cry and afterwards be able to look for more information to assess. For many of us discovering our prolapse can be traumatic.
Of course you can't let it bury you, but acknowledging your feelings is one huge advantage that women have over men-- we can let it out and move on., they are told it's not acceptable to cry or show fear.
Finding a non judging person to talk to when going through a crisis is helpful if not crucial to mental well being. And if no one is around, yell and cry into your pillow. I found my prolapse to be worse when I am stressed and better once I'd gotten those poisonous fears out.
Just one of my personal coping mechanisms, we all have our own ways. Bb

So well said Best bets,
So well said Best bets,
I remember my first week after finding prolapse, I just cried, and searched the Internet, and cried some more. When I found whole woman, those fears started to go away, because I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks so much for posting this!

Thank you all for the support
Thank you all for the support. I think the worst part was waiting to really know what was going on and then the doctor said to keep clean and referred me to the obgyn/surgeon. Then it took another 4 weeks to get in to see him. He told me what was wrong, commented on how clean I was, and scheduled the surgery. I wanted to know what to do. The nurse said anything you want as you are having surgery anyway. So needless to say I was pretty upset in the beginning.
After reading to book "Saving the Whole Woman" I discovered I was a prime candidate for a prolapse. It would have been nice to know after my son was born 21 yrs ago that I would be experiencing this prolapse so I would have been prepared. Oh well. Moving on.
While I am doing the "ballet" exercises to the music cd, sometimes I find myself crying for joy. It just makes me feel so much better (until I over do it ;))
I did have a tuff weekend with constipation - but this forum helped me find a solution.
I just have to remember one day at a time. My husband and my boss are extremely supportive.
