Hi there I am new to this form. I just had my 3rd baby who decided to come out face presentation posterior. Now I'm struggling with prolapse my back hurts and so does my overies. It has been impossible not to lift because of the new baby. I am doing the Yoga video and I always feel good doing it. However finding the time is hard to do. I noticed it was really bad today and had my husband bring home some Epsom salts it feels better when I soak with them. I was hoping to learn more about some things that provide emediate relief when I feel things are falling out. As a childbirth educator I tell my students to use which hazel on their pads and then stick them in the freezer. I can see that feeling nice while things are buldging out. What are your emediate remides for relief. Also I feel like while I eat sugar it is worse. I also had my placenta incapsulated and feel like when I take it I feel worse? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks I am happy to be here and glad we can help each other.

Hi 3boys - I think one thing you need to focus on, is to make sure you are working on posture all the time, not just when you have a chance to do the yoga. You can't avoid lifting so you need to it in accordance with posture principles - lift close to your body, keep lumbar curvature in place when you bend. You won't always be able to do this without some compromise of posture, but you need to try. Is the posture starting to become natural? This takes time and effort.

We all have things we do to feel better when things are bulgy - I sometimes just get down on elbows and knees and just breathe (or firebreathe). I have 'celes but the cervix stays well inside, so when the tissues feel irritated sometimes all I need for that is a bit of diaper rash cream at the opening and a change to fresh underwear.

I also have a few moves I've learned from Christine that can actually make me feel better rather quickly. Doing plies in really good posture, turned out somewhat, with arms up overhead, is a really stable position for the organs. Jiggle them forward into the belly first and see how long you can keep them there. Picture them there - I swear it helps to visualize. - Surviving

Hi 3 boys, the only remedy I know of is the yoga pose downward dog or I do the elbows and knees too. Once you learn how to do the fire breathing (it took me awhile) its an amazing help. The witch hazel on frozen pads sounds good. I'm also interested to know of any other advice that people can give you.

Hi AnnieMay - You can start where I started 3-1/2 years ago. Click on the Resources tab up above, and go to the Video page. Watch the first video on the Whole Woman approach - it's a 20-minute overview of prolapse, why surgeries must be avoided, and how you can manage prolapse naturally.

At 9 months PP you are still healing, and will continue to do so for up to 2 years. That's why it's important to learn these posture concepts now, while things are still in a state of flux. I wish I had learned this at your age!

Prolapse is the most common condition there is, and we have members of all ages here. We can help you, but you must take on this project yourself and learn all you can about pelvic, spine and hip health. Christine had a profound uterine prolapse and has dedicated over a decade to understanding and sharing this knowledge. - Surviving
