Just came across this website: http://www.mypelvicfloor.com.au/

A woman named Mary O'Dwyer has written a book called My Pelvic Flaw. Has anyone else heard of this?

I haven't read a lot of posts, but I know not every woman here who has Christine's book (Saving the Whole Woman) has read it, probably from lack of time. I had to make time to read it myself, usually while nursing my daughter. It would be great if an audio book edition could be made available... However, it is a great book, and Christine, if you read this, thank you so much for giving us hope!

Sure wish I had known about these sites many years ago. I don't think any woman realises the problems they can face until its too late.

I was reading a birth trauma story this morning and this woman had been through pretty much what I had except that she also had ventouse and forceps. She now has continual pain and discomfort and finds having sex a problem and is about to have her second baby. I can only think that prolapse is inevitable. She might be lucky and escape it but it sounds like she sustained an awful lot of damage.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm one of those people who learns better, sometimes, when I'm able to read the same information in different forms---it seems to sink in better. I looked for the book on Amazon (cuz it's always cheaper ordering that way) but they don't have it. I have Christine's book and honestly---you women and this board have helped me more than anything~smile~

I think because there is SO little information available to us, it's fantastic that we now have two sources. (Isn't that SAD? All the women in the world, all the babies we've given birth to through eons of time---and we have TWO sources of information about taking care of the body parts that bring life into the world!!)

Thanks again,

I looked for it on amazon also, then noticed it's an Australian website. Don't know if I will order it or not; funds are tight right now.

Hi All

I have just done some homework on this book. The website led to a returned email when I tried to contact the publisher. I found the author via her workplace and spoke to the receptionist, who told me the book (which was launched last October) is sold out, and currently being reprinted. The reprint will be available some time late in April. It was A$29.95 plus delivery, but this print run will be bigger, so it may be cheaper.

Keep an eye out on her website for further news. I'll make sure Christine knows about this one.

Cheers

Thanks, Louise!
