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.

lying down
Hi Emma
I can see that the flipflops could be good from a leg point of view, especially if you habitually wear heels that are higher than the toe of the shoe. Balances it all up a bit. I can't see any problem from a POP point of view.
I cannot figure out why any shoes have a heel higher than the toe, even really expensive shoes that are supposed to be therapeutic! High heels are sometimes nice to wear but I wouldn't wear them regularly. I get away with no shoes when I can, or flipflops outdoors in warm weather and Ug boots in winter. I figure that God gave me the feet I have, the shape they are, for a good reason. Who am I to decide that heels should be higher than toes?
As for lying down, I don't really think it makes too much difference. Gravity is working sideways when you lie down anyway. It is what we do when we are upright, and under load, that will either protect or saboutage our bodies. The only exception I would make to that statement would be to discourage a mother who had just given birth from lying propped on pillows that would drive her uterus towards the vaginal opening. I think she is much better off lying flat on her back or tummy (to bring her uterus forwards) or on her side, especially if she has hay fever or chronic coughing.
