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.

Hi athanasia & welcome,
Read around the forum about how to do the Posture & live in it as much as you can, walking etc. It does take around 2 years for your body to heal from giving birth.
Christine has modified yoga moves to accommodate WWPosture - the Whole Woman Yoga the Second Wheel is suitable for post - partum mothers. the best book to get is Saving The Whole Woman.
As for sex, men don't notice prolapse - try to learn to love your body - it has done an amazing job making a baby. We women can be very hard on ourselves & our men love us anyway.
Search on the forum - there are many discussions about the bathroom - I have found Magnesium supplements helpful for my rectocele, the exercise DVDs & the WWposture all help together along with some fruit, grainy bread & water. Try a few things talked about on the forum & see what works for you.
Eventually you will be able to run, though the other exercise styles you mention are not prolapse friendly, so I use Christine's DVDs & swim &(do some Thai Chi, while ignoring the instructions to have a straight spine).
(((hugs))) for you & your baby,
Best Wishes, Aussie Soul Sister

Hi athanasia - I don't know
Hi athanasia - I don't know if you meant to, but you posted your question a total of 3 times on the forum. I've marked the other two as duplicates so hopefully you will get all your responses on this thread. Good advice from Aussie Soul Sis - hope you will find what you are looking for here! - Surviving

Cystocele and rectocele
This is the most common form of prolapse, and it can be managed quite well with WW posture and some care regarding diet and elimination practices. This is what I have, and many others here, and Christine calls it "nature's pessary" because these bulges in the vaginal walls help to keep the cervix from falling back too far. Please do watch the first video on the Video page (under the Resources tab) for an overview of prolapse management. You are not going to hear these truths from your doctor.
Most of us have been taught to pull our stomachs in tight, and tuck our butts under, in the name of good posture. Most of us have been heavily influenced by traditional yoga, pilates and all the "core" strengthening routines that have come to completely permeate our culture. Hard to break away from that, but necessary if you want to manage this and get on with life. Once you have crossed over, you'll never go back. - Surviving
