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.

Kegels
Aza, I am surprised that you haven't had any Comments on this topic, though I haven't yet finished reading the backlog of posts since returning from our holiday.
When I first learned Kegels I, and everybody who taught me anything about posture, was heavily into tucking the tummy and tucking the butt. I first learned them at antenatal classes with my first pregnancy. I learned them lying on my back, and I can remember doing the spine flattening exercises in the same series, you know, where you try and make your navel touch your spine? At the postpartum classes,I could do all these exercises really well after my first pregnancy! That meant that when I stood up and wandered back to my hospital room, I was in the worst possible posture for returning my uterus to its flopped forward position, and probably had my bladder and uterus sitting right on the top of my vagina, pressing down. And I had my tummy pulled in so I looked as slim as possible. If I tucked my butt as well I could get my tummy in further still, while everybody else had big saggy bellies. It felt so good! Ohhh, the price I paid for my vanity!
I suspect that posture learned while my body was still unstable, at the same time as Kegels was a contributing factor for my POPs. Of course, I had other factors, like a big episiotomy, and a history of childhood constipation, etc, etc.
