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.

Yay! Textbook response!
Hi Lyricmama
This is exactly the story we are all delighted to hear! It is exactly as you say, and I hope that our postpartum members will read it and be further reinforced as to the way the female body *really* recovers after pregnancy and birth, rather than the 6 weeks that we are led to believe by *many of* our Obs is the time it takes.
I used to take in information from experts on pregnancy, labour, birth, raising babies, gardening, making jam and almost anything else, like a sponge and try and reconcile it with reality. Sometimes it reconciled. Sometimes it didn't. Now I am older and wiser I look for evidence for everything before I take it as the truth. Evidence is good, but there is always variation on normal, so nothing is absolutely correct.
Once you get a group of really experienced people in a room (Forum) together, comparing their personal experiences, you realise that there is a bell curve of results for anything, and information that is incorrect is soon identified, and replaced with a more real set of facts and trends.
We pay doctors and other health professionals a lot of money, so we expect the truth to come pouring out. It does come pouring out, but it comes with a lot of BS as well. Our challenge is sort it all out. If we put our health in the hands of any person other than ourselves (as opposed to holding hands with them) we are giving ourselves away. Everything else in our lives we can delegate to others. It is only our bodies that are with us until the moment we die.
Here's to understanding what really happens!
BTW, I think the reason we uncover reality so well is that we are all hidden behind our keyboards, so we can deal with TMI without embarrassment. We can go to the places that face to face conversation never goes. Keyboards have their shortcomings, but they are really good for this type of filtering.
Cheers
Louise

Oh!
Lyricmama, I am so glad you posted this! How wonderful that you are feeling normal again -- is the singing going well too? I remember you were a bit worried about that. I just love your analogy, too. I wish a midwife, or doctor, or whatever, had explained postpartum prolapse to me like that!
