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.

There is hope, super-active
There is hope, super-active mom,
I do all those things you listed and so much more with a profound uterine prolapse, so there really is hope for anybody who follows whole woman principles and posture!
Just a few questions for you: how long has it been since you had your baby? It can take up to two years for the body to heal on its own, and that can be further improved with whole woman posture.
What training materials did you order? I hope you had a chance to look at this site and the whole woman store, because Christine Kent has developed the best information and tools to help us alleviate prolapse symptoms.
And, can you tell us what kind of prolapse symptoms you are having? Do you know specifically what is prolapsing? Cystocele and rectocele are very manageable with whole woman practices. So is uterine prolapse, but from my experience, it has taken a little bit of extra effort and techniques to get things moving in the right direction.
Just want to say welcome and do some serious reading around on this site. There is a wealth of information to be had here!!

Super active mom, you can and
Super active mom, you can and should do all of those things, and more. Once you have learned how to hold your organs forward, so they aren't cramming into the vaginal space, movement is your friend and will actually make things better, not worse. The same things that can seem to aggravate prolapse at the beginning, can actually help once you learn to hold your body correctly. We've had plenty of moms who have gone on to multiple births after a discovery of prolapse and are none the worse for it, and actually better because of the changes that this posture correction can bring. This site is full of rays of hope so just keep reading, and jump into this work. - Surviving

Postpartum prolapse
Thank you, Aging Gracefully. My beautiful son is nearly 6 months old. I'm afraid that I've done much to unknowingly make my injuries worse by not taking it easy. I was making some progress before experiencing a regression worse than the original injury. I have stage 2 cystocele and rectocele. My symptoms are pelvic pain, feelings of fullness and hanging down, pinching when I sit, trouble going to the bathroom. I have an office job and I now find sitting uncomfortable. I'm talking to Christine, and her book and DVD are on the way. I've been trying the posture this week but by the end of the night my lower back aches. Do you have a suggestion for sitting? Thank you!

The posture does take time to
The posture does take time to get a handle on, just take your time and don't force it. Do as much as you can in a given day and rest when you need to. Once you start getting a better understanding through the reading and watching your DVD, this will become so much more clearer to you.
Did you get the First Aid For Prolapse? That has a lot of great information and examples of posture and sitting positions. It is always nice to be able to stick a pillow in the back for lumbar support. I know you can't do that at work, but do try to hold the posture as best as you can. Keep you feet flat on the floor in front of you when sitting, and you can also tip your pubic bone forward a bit and make sure your belly is completely relaxed, but not forced out.
Once you start really getting into this work that initial heavy feeling will go away, and what a relief that is!
Just keep reading and don't worry, this takes time, but it is time well spent, and be sure to relax and enjoy that new baby of yours.
