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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

shoot, I'm here
I'm about 32 weeksish. or so. I think :) Thanks for thinking of me.
I'm feeling like it could be mid April at the latest- ok, maybe I'm just hoping it will be mid April at the latest.
All of the sudden I feel big. Like- I can still chase a toddler but dang if I don't want to- kinda big. And all that crazy birth baggage is unpacking in my head. I had insomnia last night and all I could do was trudge through that crap.
Mostly worried about tearing. Well that's not true exactly. Mostly worried about needing a surgical fix for an internal anal sphincter tear. I just don't trust *who ever is on call that day* to fix me up and leave my rectocele the heck alone! And I don't trust *whoever it is on call* to do a great job- even if they do manage to only repair the anal sphincter and leave the rest of my bits alone.
I am so happy to have no problems at all with my rectocele and I want to keep it that way!
But , I'm still feeling great. Plenty of energy. Minimal pain from my goofy discs. The ice cream craving did go away soon after I started paying attention to my calcium intake and the addition of the probiotic totally killed my sugar craving.
We had a virus that brought a cough to our house. I do not like to cough! I've not had a cough since having prolapse and doggone, a cough can really irritate prolapse. At one point I thought I might actually cough the baby right out of my body. But all is back to normal now with no lasting damage.
We all listened to the heart beat with the stethoscope tonight.

Great to hear about you!
I was thinking about you a lot! Already 32???? OMG! You just announced this pregnancy and baby is almost here!
You are amazing! Sounds like a perfect fifth pregnancy...with some worries of course, I guess it is normal to worry a bit.
I'll pray for a tear-less easy birth for you guys!

I’ve also been captivated with the thought of your family gathered around the stethoscope. Just too sweet.
However, I’ve been struggling with what to say regarding your fears. You are always so strong. Your fear made me afraid.
Thank you, Granolamom, for saying it all.
I believe in you, Alemama.
