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.

don't know
Because it is your home pool- you can probably get away with very minimal chemicals.

swimming and pregnancy
When I was pregnant I was teaching kids swimming for a few hours a week. I asked my obstetrician about the chlorine and he advised me to give up the swim teaching. He said that there has been no research to suggest it is dangerous to the unborn baby, but as the pool I taught at was heavily chlorinated, he thought it wasn't worth the risk.
I would imagine swimming in low levels of chlorine in your own pool for short periods of time while pregnant would therefore be okay. But maybe check with your ob or GP to be sure.

Alternative for pools
Hi Titus2mom,
Chlorine is really hard on the body so you might want to think about a salt water pool. (We put shower filters in our bathrooms to dechlorinate that water). There are companies out there, I just read on www.swpool.com, that offers a product to change over to a salt water pool. It looks like the average price is around $900, so if that's within your budget, it seems like it would be worth looking into. I just saw a program on tv about a salt water pool and they were talking about how much healthier it is than a chlorined pool.
Best of luck.
