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.

compressing the pp belly
Hi Worried - as you probably are aware, WW work is about getting the organs forward into the relaxed lower belly. WW posture is extremely important during the post partum period. Christine has written several times about these compression belts, and in a quickie search I wasn't able to find the discussion I was looking for, but I do have this quote from Christine:
"All the exercises and postural work we do is designed specifically to move the organs forward - over and in front of the pubic bones, which should be underneath you like flat straps of a saddle. You have a horizontal pelvis that is trying to move the bladder and uterus into the hollow of your rounded lower belly with every breath you take. This is why we shudder when young mommies want to flatten their 'mummy-tummy'!!" - CK
I don't believe you ought to be compressing your belly, now or ever. Cultivate WW posture, restore good lumbar curvature, and let the hips and body revert back to normal configuration the healthy way. - Surviving
