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.

Congrats to you both - Happy
Congrats to you both - Happy Mama and Bad Mirror! I love babes and I love these milestones. I agree Mama - don't bother to "look" (I've always been against obsessing over the appearance of the v, especially right after birthing - that's asking for it!!). Keep your focus on your little one for now (taking best possible care of yourself in the process). The roller-coaster of PP recovery has left the station! Keep us posted - Surviving

Thank you!
Thank you ladies for wishing well!
@discouraged - we are all about breastfeeding around here! I bf my oldest daughter until she was 3,5 yo. I've lost all my baby weight already - 2 month pp, thanks to breastfeeding (no good genes here:-))!
Still not brave enough to check down there, but feeling well and in good spirits. Sometimes, after many hours of carrying my 10 pound baby around, I feel something, but no big complaints. Just got my 15 feet baby wrap today, I hope it will benefit to keep my posture right!
Hugs!
Happy mama

congratulations HappyMama
Well done, sticking up for what you believed was possible. Your story is now another success for others to read about. You have two full years for your body to revert after the pregnancy. Don't worry. The histories of millions of women all over the world will tell you that you might feel a bit uncertain now, but you will be a heap better in twelve months, even if you do experience the typical 3 mo to 6 mo postpartum worsening, which seems to precede the 'real' reversion in the second half of the first year pp.

weight-loading with baby
Hi Happymama - Once you figure out how to wear that baby on your body, it should be prolapse-friendly. If you are in correct posture, extra weight actually helps to maintain the vagina as a closed space. Christine calls this "weight-loading from above". I notice it when I have lots of stuff to carry using my various shoulder-strap bags. If I take the time to arrange stuff before I start walking, my prolapse feels quite fine. If I just grab stuff and go, I feel things pushing down. - Surviving
