Body: 

I have recently joined and has a new member am glad I found the site, I have had a bladder prolapse for a year and the thought of surgery really made me anxious, I have now found an alternative, I have started to adopt the whole woman posture and I have been doing the exercises on the short video, I have a few questions to ask,
I would like to know what the fire breathing exercise is, everyone seems to be talking about that,
I would also like to know how to lift a 13month old, as I look after my Granddaughter 2 days a week and I have noticed that since adopting the posture I seem better, but after the 2 days of child minding my prolapse is worse,
Also I intend to buy the dvd, but how long are the exercises each day, I am retired, but like every one who retires I don't seem to find enough hours in the day.

Firebreathing is explained in detail on the DVD. It is a breathing practice that helps lift the pelvic organs. As for lifting babies, try what I call the "prince charming": get down on one knee like a prince proposing to a princess, maintaining a lifted chest and lumbar curve. Pull the child close to your body. Holding her close, use your thighs and buttocks to push to standing. Your upper body will not change shape, protecting your pelvic organs, and you'll build very strong glutes and thighs. Alternate sides. Or, stand in second position and do a deep plié. Gather the child close, maintaining upper body posture, and again use your thighs to lift/stand. Also spend more time playing at her level on the floor. That may help cut down on the lifting.

Hi Lily 1

It may not seem so to you at the moment, but the news is all good.

I'm not the expert on lifting children and POP as I hadn't found ww when mine were small but even so, even with me doing everything wrong, the pop after my second child improved hugely by itself - that's how much healing and pop reversal the post partum body is capable of. So think how much more improvement you are going to make by using whole woman posture while your pop is still so new. I know it's easy to say, but if an old bird like me in her forties with a long established urethrocele cam make some progress I'm sure you're going to make much more.

Take care
