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.

Welcome Angel2me *Smiles*
I am a newbie too. Been here less than a week and have learned so much from all the wonderful members. I just received my WW bundle today and believe you me it is a wonderful program. About wearing a girdle. Maybe try putting that into the search box and see what pops up. I have been told to put terms in and to read the forum messages that will come up on that topic. I have third stage cystocele where the bladder is already peeking out. Since I've been told that I am not a candidate for surgery due to lots of other health issues I came here to learn how to help myself back to health.

Hi SwetRoseMarieI am so glad
Hi SweetRoseMarie
I am so glad that you got your WW bundle. I am still waiting for mine. I couldn't find any info on girdles but I will just hang in there (no pun intended) until I get my bundle. Just trying to get over a brutal kidney infection right now. Doctor gave me the wrong antibiotics and I had to go to hospital today to get ones that specifically target kidney infections. I'm sure we can learn a lot from these ladies on here. Keep us posted on your progress.

welcome angel2me, and to all the newbies out there (sorry I haven't been able to 'personally' welcome each of you...just so short on time here)
about the girdle......DON'T
a girdle squeezes your belly, and just think about what that is going to do to your pelvic organs. think about a tube of toothpaste. not good.
the whole point of this posture is to give room in the low belly for the pelvic organs to sit. this is probably a good place to warn you that in wholewoman posture you will not have a flat stomach. it takes on a different shape. my abdomen is taut and muscular but rounded (hard to imagine but its true). a common misperception of the posture is that the belly hangs and flops around, but thats only because we so emphasise the importance of NOT sucking it in.
about your question re rate of progression and your dr's being an idiot, anything is possible but neither one is probable. prolapse can look very different from day to day and even during the course of a given day. the grading system, I suspect, doesnt have fabulous interrater reliability either. the good news, it doesn't matter! YOU know what it is, YOU can take care of it and YOU can monitor your progress.
