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 mumwithone
so glad to hear all is going well. I had the mini prenatal cradle and yes, it was fantastic!
re: the uti, I think the yogurt thing is more for warding off yeast. for uti I think you'd want to get cranberry juice (unsweetened), drink lots of pure water, avoid sugar. but really, if it doesn't clear up soon, see your dr before it travels upwards. an untreated uti is never a good thing, moreso during pg.

great news!
Hi Mum...glad to hear you are progressing so nicely. I will only add a reminder to be sure to empty your bladder completely twice a day if you are feeling symptomatic. You can do this by getting down on all fours in the shower or bathtub and peeing. It's amazing how well it works! (((hugs))) Christine

I just wanted to let you
I just wanted to let you know my sister went to a specialist for her chronic uti and he said the worst thing you can do (despite what people think) is drink cranberry juice or anything acidic. He said to have some apple juice with baking soda in it. Once she stopped the pure cranberry juice it got better.

Thanks
Thanks Granolamom and mommynow for your advice and idea. It's always been recommended to me too to have cranberry juice. It's interesting that you've been advised against it mommynow. I think I'll stick to the bicarb for now. It seems to be okay today. I'd definitely go to the docs if I got a UTI, just I can sometimes head it off myself if I'm vigilant with liquids etc early on.
Thanks Christine for the advice on full bladder emptying. I do have a bit of trouble with that so I'll definitely do that a couple of times each day.

Ural
Hi Momwithone
There is also a product called Ural which is a urinary alkaliser, which is supposed to improve symptoms while you are getting over it, though it won't actually fix an existing UTI (I've tried that!). It makes the urine, and therefore the environment inside the bladder and urethra more alkaline, which the UTI bacteria don't like. I *think* it is probably just based on bicarb, but it not really horrible to drink (It is fizzy). It comes with good instructions too, so you don't get your doses wrong.
Cheers
Louise

Ural
Hi Louise,
Yes, Ural is the stuff I usually take., thanks Louise. It works well for me if I get onto it quick enough. I'll grab some more and get onto that - it's been so long since I had a UTI I'd almost forgotten all about them!
