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.

correcting fetal presentation
didn't read the article yet, louise
but my sister and bil turned a baby at 36 weeks from breech to head down, using a bunch of techniques I learned from lurking on midwifery forums. they were totally skeptical, but suspended their doubts because the obgyn had already tried to turn the baby and was talking c-section.
they're believers now!

turning babies
My son was breech and we tried many things to get him head-down, including chiropractic (there's a specific technique called the Webster maneuver). Unfortunately it didn't work and he was born via c-section. When pregnant with my daughter I did everything I could to make sure she was in an ideal position. There's an entire website dedicated to this - www.spinningbabies.com - which uses posture and exercises to help babies achieve their ideal position. Unfortunately, my daughter was breech when I was 31 weeks pregnant. I was able to use accupuncture and moxibustion to flip her and she was born vaginally at 41 weeks (a VBAC).
The theory behind the Webster technique is that the muscles/ligaments are holding your uterus asymmetrically, and preventing your baby from being able to settle in its preferred position. The technique releases the round ligaments to allow the baby to turn.
