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.

prior surgery
Hi Goldfinch,
I have the same issue with a past laparotomy and probably a deeper one because my retropubic area was also dissected. Because of my particular surgery, I have a sense that my uterus cannot return to anywhere near its former position because my small bowel has come down to fill the space my uterus once occupied. Your fallopian tube was probably more accessible.
I like to say we all must work with what we have. Even though I was left with a horrendous uterine prolapse, there are days I can hardly feel it, which I can only attribute to the postural work.
Don’t give it a second thought, Goldfinch, and keep up the good work.
(I fixed the typo)

Positive Strides...
Thank you, Christine. I know I have made some positive strides, especially when it comes to standing and sitting posture. I naturally go into the posture now, and my back does not hurt anymore. Of course I'm anxious to see results like yours, and I tend to second guess myself - thinking that the surgery may be preventing me from seeing results faster. I must remind myself that this problem happened 'over time' and it will take time to improve - with hard work on my part and with implementing the valuable information that I learn from this forum and from your book.
Thank you for your encouragement (and for fixing the typo!!) :-)

I have a similar worry with
I have a similar worry with having had a c-section. Could this have brought about a prolapse? I chose the c-section so as to prevent going through what I went through giving birth to my son. I felt I was not given the care I needed and I tore really badly and then had a episiotomy on top of that. It took me forever to heal and left me with PTSD, stress incontinence and for 6 months I had bowel urgency. So when I was offered a c-section for my second birth I took it thinking it would leave everything down there intact. The recovery was much faster but it was certainly not an easy birth and the pain was worse than I thought.
It is only over the last 4 months that I have started suffering symptoms of prolapse but wonder if it started after my daughter was born. I guess these are questions that can never be answered but it does make you think.
I want to turn back time so badly. I wish I had known about these things and I would have taken a natural route to giving birth and let my body do the work like it is supposed to rather than pushing and straining against it. It makes me so angry!
