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.

In answer...
I am not a Doctor but heres my view (I have 3 celes)
) Does this mean I can not have any more kids without causing further damage or making things worst?
NO. I got my rectocele with my first birth - I have had two further children and it is still no problem at all to me. People on here have had babies with no further problems. My Gynae also told me ''the damage is done, unless you had a very very interventional birth nothing should change''
2) Does this mean I will have a hard time becoming pregnant or cause issues with pregnancy?
NO again - lol
3) Can Kegels or chiropractic care repair or fix my issues?
NO NO NO - lol
Do not 'over kegel' yourself - I did this and it makes the muscle weaker and the prolapse 'draggier'
I do 5 or 6 good kegels a day - thats it - :-)
Good meaning I hold for 5-8secs

Look into the eyes - They hold the key!

future pregnancies
Future pregnancy/delivery does not have to make prolapse issues worse and, from what I have read from this site and another, it can improve your condition if you work on the issues while pregnant and do not have a OB managed birth. Here is a quote from another post on this site (is it OK to post quotes like this?):
Submitted by Christine on June 10, 2007 - 7:00am.
I absolutely agree it’s the PROCESS that determines post-partum prolapse, not the fact that a high percentage of humans can’t birth without sustaining long term damage.
This is the question Jane (fullofgrace) and I mulled over during the final months of her pregnancy. Why, if a previously prolapsed woman was in a POSITIVE position for giving birth, would the process not pull her vagina in advantageous ways rather than negative ones? Then, the powerful and little-studied process of involution would heal the vagina further. Jane was brave enough to go for it, had a beautiful home birth, and is better than ever today.

If you look through the site you can find other posts from woman who have had subsequent pregnancies after discovering prolapse.
My advice to you is begin the work now-exercises changes in diet etc. I wish I had started at 30 instead of 40, but I did not realize what was going on until my insides tried to exit me-I just thought my insides were changing because I had had babies and didn't think much of it. My gyn/OB never mentioned it at any of my pp checkups, he always said I looked great LOL. Perhaps, because you are so young, beginning the work now and continuing throughout your life will keep your insides well and you will never have the issues some of us have faced.
Blessings,
Ann
