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 mamma - it is quite common
Hi mamma - it is quite common for these PP bulges to subside on their own, in the months following birth - this is what happened with me after two very large babies. I would not necessarily assume that your intensive pelvic floor exercises had anything to do with that. I did plenty of that, too, in the years between childbearing and menopause, and ended up here, managing cystocele and rectocele with Whole Woman posture.
If you have studied Christine's work at all (as I see you joined here several years ago and got some good help back then), you know that kegeling pulls the organs in the direction of prolapse. Instead, the organs need to be held forward over the pubic bones with correct posture, breathing, and gravity. Traditional Pilates moves that work the "core" are equally detrimental to female pelvic support.
So......11 days is too early for you to draw any conclusions, but if I were you I'd get with the WW work now, while your body is in healing mode and practically begging for you to help it along in the right direction! Congrats and enjoy your babe. - Surviving

Thank you Surviving.
Thank you Surviving.
I suffered from chronic back pain. I bought a book and DVD after my first birth and I tried to remain in the WW posture but this only agrevated my back pain. Pilates makes me to be pain free... So I am unsure how to achieve both...

Understand that WW posture is
Understand that WW posture is not contrived; it represents the natural and healthy shape of the female spine, before it was thrown out of whack by such things as traditional Pilates moves that have you pulling your stomach in. So know that if you are doing that, you most definitely will aggravate your prolapse. - Surviving
