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 cosmic and welcome.
Hi cosmic and welcome. It sounds to me like you are off to a fine start. You will find that you can do just about anything with prolapse, once you have learned the true story of pelvic organ support, and can listen to what your body is saying as you move throughout your day, letting your symptoms and the principles of posture guide you.
It's somewhat possible that your weight loss might indeed have contributed to the appearance of symptoms now. But even if that is the case, it is probably a temporary situation, to which your body will adjust over time as you work to reposition the uterus. You seem to have a good understanding of things already......many women will assume that being overweight worsens prolapse and think that they should try to shed as much weight as possible, as fast as possible. But such is not the case.
Do look into learning firebreathing soon. I worked only with the book for the first year, and it was my desire to see firebreathing in action that prompted me to start building my DVD collection. Uterine prolapse does need some additional tools besides posture and the exercises. Over time you should be able to keep the cervix farther and farther away from the opening, and for longer.
The floor sitting is great. If you can do it while keeping a strong lumbar curvature, then you have already mastered one of the most valuable tools for getting on with your life! Keep us posted and ask anything....we have a great community here. - Surviving

Thank you
Thank you Surviving.
The weight loss is being done very sustainably slowly by changing the way I eat - back again to the way I used to be when young - fast days (5:2) - remembering that humans did not used to eat well every day of the week, nor did we use to necessarily eat three meals a day. This new way of eating seems to be exactly what my body likes - I have far more energy then I used to have - again just like it was when I was young. I am not a vegetarian , but I do cook from scratch - no ready meals and more vegetables than anything else mainly from my garden) I also make all my own bread.
Now to teach myself firebreathing :)
thank you again

I'm with you Cosmic on the
I'm with you Cosmic on the eating changes. I am almost 66 and have lost about the same amount of weight over the last year, due to healthy changes in diet, and occasional fasting too. I don't think it has affected my prolapse much, probably because I've been doing the WW work going on 6 years. You will be a great success with this. - Surviving
