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.

Techniquely, if you don't
Techniquely, if you don't have any other issues that would bother you during sex, especially being post partum( I remember way back then having some soreness in my vaginal walls), the penis just pushes it up and out of the way. After I noticed my cervix so low, I wouldn't have sex for 3 months, but after building confidence with whole woman practices, we did it, and it was weird at first, but just fine. I would suggest some jiggling to get your uterus up there a bit more. I also made him take it slow with no intense thrusting. But, ya, I was well lubricated naturally still luckily, and up she went. It really was amazing. The organs really are as movable as they sayi
That is funny when I think about it now, but back then I had a retroverted uterus, and it was up high, and he was always bumping it with his penis, and that hurt like hell. Now it doesn't hurt anymore. So weird how some of these changes can be so beneficial.
Wish you the best. Take it slow.

Momma, please remember that
Momma, please remember that you should not feel under pressure to have sex just because you have passed the official 6-week doctor sign-off. Only you can say when you are ready, and it can take up to 2 years for a full post-partum recovery. I'm not suggesting you wait 2 years, of course. I'm just saying, there is nothing magical about the 6-week milestone apart from the fact that your doctor officially considers it safe. Getting over your fear is a good reason to try it, but ONLY if you feel physically and emotionally ready as well. - Surviving

another question- sensitive labia
Surviving60-Thanks for the concern. No worries. I don't feel pressure from him. I just want to try to get back to normal as soon as possible. He said he would wait as long as I needed. He is really a sweetheart. I will wait till I feel ready.
Thanks for answering my question Again Gracefully. One more question. I have noticed that my labia (the inner side) is more sensitive than usually. It feels fine most of the time but when I shower I don't wash it with soap but if soap even runs down over it it slightly burns. I also noticed that the other day it was very sensitive to the touch. Is this normal? I don't remember it postpartum with the other babies.

Like surviving said, your
Like surviving said, your body will go through a lot of changes in 2 years. I do remember a little tearing in my vaginal walls that had kind of a burning feeling, and an all over swelling everywhere else. Maybe some of the more experienced post partum ladies have some advice about the labia issue.

I think it's a case of "see how you go". Try it. My partner has never noticed my prolapse(s). And I have never felt particularly sore (sometimes a little raw just afterwards the first few times postpartum). And it's all changed a lot from one pregnancy to the next. Now with a worse cystocele and a new rectocele since my last birthing, my cervix has ended up prolapsing a lot less than a couple of years ago. Which is amusing, at least to me. But sex feels the same as always.
Six weeks postpartum has tended to seem a bit short time-wise for me though - but that all depends on how the birth and healing went - in my experience episiotomies can take a while to feel okay, even small ones.

Oh,and with this last baby I
Oh,and with this last baby I have had the burning with certain soaps too. For a long time post-birth I stuck to an oat-based bath oil and water or a gentle spray from a handheld showerhead. But if I use the wrong soap unthinkingly I still end up burning.
