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 Yes to Healing... my
hi Yes to Healing... my prolapse occurred and was at its worst post partum, so I was dealing with adjusting to a new baby, breastfeeding, caring for a toddler too etc. so it was really kind of a whirlwind.
reading this site every night really helped me get positive. I'd search for all sorts of key words depending on my worries/fears and then find a particular user and track them and then read everything they've posted. seeing their progress through the years helped so much to put my mind at ease.... especially since the stories here are from women from all walks of life, ages, countries... going back over 10 years.
the other thing i kept telling myself was that this was a fairly benign condition that is suffered by so many millions of women... it's natural (someone on here said that a doctor told them that if they examined every woman they'd find some level of prolapse in most all of them), and the most important thing that got me over the fear and loathing hurdle was the reassurance that I could do most anything I wanted to do, even with this prolapse.
Every time I started sliding back in my thoughts I kept looking forward - taking each day at a time and being super patient, which is super hard for me - i'm a fast person.
I pictured my organs a lot- i picture tipping them forward... I used to get on hands and knees all the time and just breathe deep and picture them pressing into my lower belly.
and as i type this - the best thing I ever did while feeling bulgy or fragile or mad or whatever - i'd live life. I'd go do something and get moving and i'd forget how bad i was feeling. the first few months i found myself recoiling from social situations and finally I just got on with it, despite not feeling great. and that turned into a cycle - realizing nothing terrible had happened, nothing had fallen out, and I was fine - that led to doing more, and so on, until I was leading a 'normal' life. each episode of panic and fear was less than the earlier ones...
anyway - I'll stop now as I have a tendency to ramble :) hope some of this helped... i think time is the best thing. as long as you keep working on it and let time pass, each bulgy/crappy day should be better than the last and when you see that happening, you can easily talk yourself out of the low days.
oh and when I had days that were symptom-free (or almost) - I remembered them... next time i was feeling low I would think - well, I had a really good day or 2 - it's bound to happen again!
