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.

change the way you think
Your body is not a lemon! Your uterus is incredibly strong...it's held 3 babies in it. And big ones at that. When it comes time to deliver, your uterus is going to do most of the work, your baby will do a good bit of the work and the last tiny little bit of work will be your responsibility. And that's mostly in your head.
Eat lots of great foods, keep your iron up and get a birth team together. You do not have to tear this time at all! If it seems like your baby isn't in a good position when you are ready to birth think about changing the way you are positioned.
Have you thought about birthing on hands and knees?
anyway- all that to say, I think your body will be the best off not cutting through the abdominal wall. The damage has been done to your pelvic floor- and for that I'm so sorry. Mine is pretty busted up too. But in a few years you won't be able to tell the difference between 2 vaginal births or 3.
When you cut the abdominal wall you lose even more support for your pelvic floor because it's all connected. Also, since you have two little ones at home to take care of, your recovery is going to be so much faster with a vaginal birth.
we've had a great many discussions about c sections here and how exactly they do them and what it does to your body (anatomically) if you are interested. You can search the forums with the search function and find them all.
Good luck!
