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.

Hi Jellybaby83
I have to say I love the inventive names WW women have created!
Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby boy. Sorry to hear about your prolapse experience - and having suffered a prolapse myself can empathise with your initial upset - very understandable. I'm so pleased you're feeling better about it - and wanting to be proactive about improving the situation.
My expereince was that the book and the dvd were amazingly helfpul and helped me to recover to the extent that so long as take care with my posture and regualarly swim or do the WW exercises, I can lead a normal life. (I may skip skiing in snow plough and pushing cars though!) Last Christmas when I suffered my prolapse I was in lots discomfort and pain and off sick. So for me the recovery rate was impressive. I thnk I may have to take care, keep healthy and do the exerecises forever - but to be honest that all feels so good, that's fine.
My advice is don't wait - the sooner you learn how to manage and improve your symptoms, the better you'll feel.
Good luck!
Best wishes, wholewomanuk

hi jellybaby83
welcome to the site and congrats on the baby!
you do sound pretty positive, which is fantastic! I'm never in a positive mood 6 weeks pp, even without the prolapse worries. so hats off to you!
to answer your question, I have seen vast improvements from incorporating the posture, firebreathing and nauli. I am no longer visibly bulging, I am hardly ever symptomatic.
I agree with you, and would not recommend a wait and see approach, but rather do everything I could to prevent this from getting worse and to help it get better asap.
will just add that 6 weeks pp is really early, it takes up to two years for your body to fully recover from childbirth, and even then it will not look like a body that has never carried and birthed a child. many of us have found that our symptoms actually worsened to an all time low at around 12 weeks pp and then proceeded to improve. not saying that will happen to you, just that is happens so dont get discouraged if you dont see instant improvement.
wholewoman works, its just not an instant quick-fix. some see change quickly, some dont. in either case, I look at it as a lifestyle.
enjoy that baby of yours, and keep coming back with any questions you may have.

congratulation on your birth
1. the baby's weight. you know what, I believe you can know. Your body can intuit the weight if it's important to you. Just sit quietly and ask. A number will come to you. I'm sure of it. For us, it became less and less important as we moved though our parenting journey. Our last 2 births were unassisted at home and I didn't even bother with a weight for a while. Our babies were perfect, we didn't need a number to tell us that. But I remember it was important to me with my earlier births. And my kids love to know what they all weighed. So, go for it. Ask away.
2. Fast birth did not cause your prolapse. It would be much more likely that pregnancy caused it :)
3. things are going to improve- but you are learning one of the lessons about healing. It takes time and work. But it's time that is going to go right on by regardless of if you work on healing or you don't.
4. The cost. Well, you are worth the cost and if it keeps you out of the drs office then you save money!
Take a deep breath. You are going to get better. Your body just did an incredible thing. You gave life to another human being. Three months is going to fly by! Let's talk in terms of years. I say in 3 years this prolapse will be a memory.
