Best place to start

Hi Herbwoman and welcome. I think either one will give you what you need to get going. First Aid for Prolapse is the original flagship DVD for the WW work. The on-line course was the first of the streaming options to give women immediate access to resources without waiting for things to be shipped around the world. There are so many choices now, I know it can be confusing! Good luck to you, and be sure to visit the Forum with your questions. It helps to read what others are going through too. - Surviving

So glad you found WW - & fab to hear you were referred to this website via your midwife:)
Yes I thoroughly recommend you invest in some resources - whatever fits your budget. The dvd's; digital or physical are great for following exercise regime, WW practitioners offer tel/ SKYPE/1:1. online resources are available… It's an investment in your health for life!
Love & best wishes,

You have found a wonderful midwife because she has sent you to the best place possible for info and support. If u r in the U.K. I wonder if your midwife is connected to the National Child Birth Trust ? If she is it would be great for her to explain this web site to the Trust . I am a granny now but depended on the N.C.T. when I was a young Mum and this site would have taught me all the things I needed to know and provided everything needed to keep healthy all my life , in a natural way. Don't forget to read up about the use of raw organic honey ,it is amazing!

hi herbwoman,

just a reminder that the WW POP online video course is on sale until midnight tomorrow night for half price. it's almost three hours of video and christine will take you by the hand and show you what you need to know and what you need to do to successfully manage your prolapse for your lifetime. if your budget is tight, now is the time to take advantage of this!

thanks,

Hi Herbwoman, I too am new to this site, having a uterine & bladder prolapse. A gyno told me surgery or pessary were the only options. I didn't want either so came across Whole Woman. I bought the first aid DVD and have had it just on a week now and am amazed at the improvement of the bulge. It simply isn't there down low in my vagina, I can walk around and not feel that horrible uncomfortable feeling of my bladder going to fall out. I am doing the exercises daily but have only done them to just after the fire breathing, because it is all so new and want to go slowly so I don't cause any injury. Relaxing my belly has been the hardest so that will take a while. I would suggest buying the dvd and get started, its fantastic. Cheers, I am in Australia. Good luck.

Hi Herbwoman,

I am also in NZ. Wow a midwife that knows about and supports WW. Wonderful. Mine would not have known despite being very, very experienced. I went to PT's here and they were no good, although one did recommend a sea sponge which lead me to this site (through the Jade and Pearl website). I do not recommend sea sponges by the way.

The material on here is fantastic. If you can purchase some resources then please do, I would have loved, loved, loved to have know this stuff prior to my births. My babies would not have been posterior and so much easier to get out. I was looking into all sorts of natural stuff but didn't even know about prolapse so didn't think to search it (I didn't know my prolapse was already developing).

One day when my kids are a bit older (youngest is 3 yrs), I hope to get over to the US and train as a practitioner. There are no practitioners in NZ but we are so progressive in our systems that I think WW would be well received here.

I did have a skype consult with Christine which was great.

Good luck and keep posting.

Just wanted to say also in nz here.... very new to this site and the whole idea of a prolapse. Still in shock and dispair :(
I'm nearly 3 months pp and struggling so hard not to let this get me down so I can try and be the mum I wanted to be and I'm terrified if the surgery horror stories on Dr Google.
Only 31 and feel too young for this!

Hi Bumble and welcome. You have certainly come to the right place, lots of young moms who are in your shoes!

Your period of PP healing has barely begun. Things will get better and there is so much that you can do to help the organs return to their proper positions. Just getting started is extremely good for the soul! So don't wait. This is a great community with lots of encouragement and suggestions to help you along. And many stories to read. - Surviving

Thanks surviving there is so much conflicting information out there ie Kegals it's so hard to know what to do and how to cope. It's been great to read posts on this forum too just see how others cope on a daily basis. I have been trying to keep the posture but so hard when walking to keep it up and not sure on the best ways to sit and breastfeed or lift or carry my heavy baby. I feel like everything I do is making this worse and end up lying down for much of the day in tears!

hi there,

chin up girl, we have had so many new moms totally reverse their prolapse! you can too. i think you would find christine's video Whole Woman Wisdom for the Childbearing Years to be particularly helpful. to learn more click here.
