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.

IT's hard to say
Lithotomy position straightens out the lumbar curve, which was probably already pretty straight to enable birth, but it also closes the pelvic opening, because of the way the positions of the sacrum and pelvic bones change relative to each other when you are flat on your back with your legs up in the air. This may have 'sent baby back inside' again. (I am no midwife). But getting you to do that for 30 minutes is an interruption to labour, so that may have been a factor as well. In addition your labour was already accelerated by the induction process, so while it was pretty good according to you, your body may have got a bit 'confused', and decided to stall the process.
Going back over the labour, and asking why, is a very common response to a situation which turned differently from what you had hoped for. I still ask myself questions about DS1's birth 29 years ago, but I don't let it get to me anymore.
That is now behind you now, and the important thing for you to do is to work out best how to support your body during this soft tissue reversion stage. You are right at the worst stage right now, and can look forward to a lot more improvement over the next 18 months. You just need to be patient, don't squash your belly, watch your posture and diet, and move mindfully, working out as you go how you can change the way you do tasks to enable your body to use its natural design for retaining your pelvic organs.
l am so glad you have bought the package. You now have everything you need to do this well. Hope to hear more from you.
