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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Hello and welcome, Whitelotus,
If your doctor hadn't told you about your 'big' rectocele and cystocele would you be in such a panic?
Every woman who comes to WW probably has about the same symptoms as you. Unless the "leading edge" of prolapse (whether that be bladder, cervix, or rectum) is very near, at, or beyond the vaginal opening, we are basically asymptomatic and life is good. We call what you are describing "Nature's Pessary" because the two bulges (front vaginal wall and back vaginal wall) are holding the cervix forward so it, too, doesn't prolapse to the opening.
Until your materials arrive, try to understand that these organs have not fallen down, but have been pushed back from just behind your lower abdominal wall. It is the breath (actually intraabdominal pressure from the respiratory diaphragm underneath the lungs) that either pins the organs into position at the front of the body, or blows them backwards toward the pelvic outlet (the outlet is at the *back*, not underneath you).
I would practice natural breathing while you wait. Sit upright in a chair with a firm seat. Let your abdominal wall completely relax, but lift your chest so your belly is pulled up. You will feel that your abdominal wall becomes firm, yet it is not pulled in - even slightly. Keep your shoulders down, your upper back flat and broad, and your head pulled up through the back of your neck by slightly tucking your chin. When you breathe in, let your belly expand forward, when you breathe out, let your belly fall passively back in. All WW exercise is based on natural breathing.
Wishing you well,
Christine

Thanks for your advise about
Thanks for your advise about natural breathing. Because I play saxophone I wonder if it is the same breathing you use when you play an instrument or sing.?
Best regards
