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.

Welcome Queenof4
Hi Queenof4 and welcome!
You have found the right place! Christine has done marvelous work for all of us out here who needed it. You can find answers to most all your questions here or in the new edition of her book. Since you are just 6 months postpartum, your body is still healing - read on the Pregnancy and Prolapse section for posts from ladies who are pregnant or who have dealt with the prolapse before and after delivery. They do have excellent suggestions. It will take time to adjust to the posture and you may have some ups and downs with how you are feeling. Sitting correctly in a car is still difficult for me but when I am in the pickup, it is easier. The seats in it automatically keeps me in a better sitting position to where I don't feel the strain. And I always have two different size pillows in whichever vehicle I'm in to help me deal with my posture and comfort. I still wash only a few dishes at a time so I don't incur the low back ache; my counter is supposed to be the recommended height but again, evidently men decided what that height is supposed to be. At any rate, it's not comfortable if I stand at the counter to work for long periods of time.
Once you become accustomed to the posture, it will become second nature to you. Just come on back here to ask any and all your questions. I am a big proponent of eating healthy food, so if it's possible for you to eat organic food, I highly recommend that.
Congratulations on your new baby!
Blessings,
Grandma Joy

Thanks for welcome
Nice to meet you Grandma Joy. I will go back over the posts you suggested, I guess I wasn't categorizing myself as postpartum anymore. With use of the pillows, do they go behind your back or under your buttocks? Since reading Whole Woman ... I am aware of our slouching when sitting posture and I have been putting my car seat more erect and sitting more forward. I don't really have a pain issue as of yet so I didn't adjust based the physical aspect, just the mental awareness that I wasn't helping the posture, so any specific detail helps!
Thanks so much.
Queen of 4
