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.

I just don't do it
I put the baby down on my bed for naps. I put the carseat in the middle and I sit down in the car to put her in and take her out. I change diapers on the floor, on my bed, or believe it or not, while I am standing up. It's an art:)
but the trick here is modify modify modify.
This is going by way too fast. Our baby is almost 6 months now and getting up on hands and knees and rocking! She got her first tooth this week too. Someone slow down time.

Time to use my imagination
Yes, they grow up so fast! I know it's a cliche but once you're a parent, you totally get it! First tooth is very exciting!
Yep - I can see I need to start looking for alternatives. The car seat is tricky as I also have a 2 year old whose car seat is larger so baby's capsule won't fit in the middle of the car. I have found that putting my knee up on the seat feels better - ie. I don't need to use stomach so much but not sure of it is really better for pop.
I think I need to completely redesign our home. No more low drawers, new fridge, new couch - ahhhh! If only I knew all this a few years ago.
Thanks again for you reply!

change table
See if you can get the old cheapo folding change table. Sit on a dining chair at the end of it with your feet straddling the X. That way you don't have to bend over. You just lean forward when it is time to pick baby up again, and hold him close to you while you stand up again.
Or change him on the floor, while kneeling with lumbar curve in place. You will end up with thighs of steel, which ever way you do it.

change table
I must be shorter than most because I didnt have to bend over the changing table. but mostly I changed the baby on the sofa, I'd kneel on the floor beside her. not for prolapse but convenience. she hated the change table and it wasnt as centrally located as the sofa.

height
Yes, I am 5'7", so I seemed to be almost always bending over slightly at the waist when I had babies. I have always used workarounds for low tables. Our kitchen benches are 39 inches high (1000mm) , which is heaven for me.

Height can be an issue
I am 5'9" and I think being tall means more bending - so more vigilance required! I am changing both kiddies on the ground when I can and that is easier. And am definitely getting better at the bum out, curve in place bend you suggested Louise - it's quite the look!

Kneeling
You will get stronger! It will help preserve your knees if you kneel on a pad of some sort, like a hi density foam camping mattress.
