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 C bell,
Hi C bell,
This is not something that has been talked about a lot on this forum, And I know Christine addressed the surgery in past posts, so I don't know if there is anything else we could tell you on the forum. Our hope is that, over time, you would start to get relief from your symptoms with the postural work. It took me over a year of diligent whole woman work to get control over my severely prolapsed uterus, and many more years to maintain a comfortable place with it. I would like to say it takes patience and time as with all prolapses, but don't know anything about the nature of an intuss.
Have you ever had a consult with Christine? She may have more insight than you will find here.

Thank you. I’m pretty certain
Thank you. I’m pretty certain I’ve had the intuss since my first birth although not as severely. It got a lot better through posture and the use of a kegel 8 at about 18months pp. By that point it was absolutely manageable. However, two further pregnancies/births have definitely made it much worse. I haven’t had a consult with Christine (I am in the uk) hopefully some others who have been in a similar situation will dee this post. I am feeling pretty gutted that things don’t seem to be improving this time and struggling to look after my 3 littles. The surgery seems to carry risks and I feel like my future looks bleak x

Clarification
This reminder is for the benefit of any WW newbies who might be misled reading this thread. Christine has written extensively (and it is discussed over and over and over on the forums) about the implications of kegeling.....and this includes kegeling machines. It is a wrong concept which does nothing at best, and at worst, can aggravate prolapse.
A great deal of PP prolapse subsides on its own in the months following birth. This is what happened to me. Many women who kegel during this period, may attribute their lessening of symptoms to this kegeling. I can assure you this is not the case. Often, time alone can do this, at least for a few years, until bad posture and other practices bring prolapse back into the picture (again....this is my story).
In the intervening years I kegeled quite a bit, not because I was feeling the bulge but because that was the conventional wisdom to promote pelvic and sexual health. If it worked, I never would have manifested prolapse in the end, nor would any of the other millions of women who kegel because they are told to by practitioners who don't know what else to say.
So......we will continue here, to fight this misconception every time it rears its ugly head. - Surviving

Ok. I don’t know why the
Ok. I don’t know why the kegel 8 seems to help for me, it just does. I don’t think there is a one size fits all with prolapses..I don’t believe for one second the kegel 8 alone would have got me better the first time around...that only happened when I changed my posture
