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.

Hey Marlajone,
With four kids who would want to fly? You need the freedom and the convenience of the car. 7 hours a day sounds pretty good to me. Breakfast and leave by 9, two hours and you are at 11am, time for a wee and a cuppa and a snack for the kids, another two hours and you’re at 1.30pm for lunch and a walk, another two hours and you are at 4.00pm time for another wee and walk around, and then one more hour and you are there at 6pm. If you make visits in between to a museum or something special even three hours extra you are only looking at 8-9pm and all the kids, and you included, are ready for bed. Feels pretty good to me.
Make sure you grab a cushion to sit on to level up the seat (most of them slope backwards) and a wedge of some sort behind your back so that you can sit more comfortably in posture.
Now, as to this getting worse as you get older talk, that may be so in many cases, but no-one knows the future. It does no-one any good to think the worst. Sure risk management means you glimpse at it and take it into account, but we don’t sit with it any longer than necessary. Besides, you have something powerful on your side, and yes you have guessed right that is WWposture and the more you strengthen your legs and your back and rectus abdominis the better your chances of defying gravity and age (both middle and old). I tell you so and I’m 67 and I do not lie for queen or country. The secret is in the strength and having four kids and a best husband, you have got it. I hit this site near on three years ago and I have gotten better at my age, so at 39 its a walk-in and the more dedicated you are, the quicker it will happen.

The future
Marlajone, I have rectocele and cystocele, and I have found over the 3 years of going this work that the biggest benefit is no longer fearing the future.
These 'celes are manageable with posture, if you are committed to learning and doing that posture all the time. The degree of stabilization that I've achieved, and the fact that I've proved to myself over and over that a bad day can be followed quickly by a good day, has removed the prolapse-related stress and fear from my life completely. I can do everything I want or need to do. I'm happier and healthier with prolapse than I was before prolapse. But I didn't get to this point overnight.
None of us can say what your trajectory is or will be. This is your best shot, and you're getting your chance at a relatively young age to make this major shift. No promises, no guarantees, all of us must do this for ourselves. Learn posture, protect your lumbar curvature when traveling (it isn't hard to do) and enjoy! - Surviving

your posts are so encouraging and I thank you for being here and for sharing all your wisdom and positivity. As you know, those of us who are new to this are feeling so confused, doubtful and afraid of making things worse. I'm so glad to have everyone here to help me adjust my attitude as well as my posture of course!
