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 and welcome. We've had any number of moms here who have gone through additional pregnancies and births after a diagnosis of prolapse. In the end everything will move up and out of the way. So concentrate on good WW posture as you go throughout your pregnancy, and aim for a gentle birth that allows you and the baby freedom to find your most comfortable and natural positions. Post partum will be an important time for doing this work, so try to get into a good routine now.
We have no way of knowing how you are doing with posture; practicing it every chance you get isn't really the same as training your body to do it automatically all the time (that's the goal). And you don't mention how long you have been doing this work or what else you have been doing as part of that work (WW exercises, firebreathing, protecting lumbar curvature all the time, good diet and toilet habits.....). My biggest improvements came in my second year.
I don't know what to say about the incontinence during sex. Try some different positions and see if that helps. If leaking isn't happening any other time, only with orgasm, then it doesn't sound prolapse-related. If the bladder is getting bumped or the urethra rubbed or irritated, a change of position may help, and obviously you want to empty the bladder beforehand. I googled this a little and it does seem that the physiology of female orgasm does not rule this out, the way it does with a man (to orgasm and leak pee at the same time). Also some woman do release a lot of clear fluids during orgasm. - Surviving

Welcome
Hello, yes really try to get the posture sorted so you can do walking while pregnant which will really help, I had baby two with my prolapses and it was fine, I never checked anything as I don't anymore but it didn't get in the way. Try to avoid slouching chairs or slouching in general which people feel you should do when pregnant!! It will get better, you have ups and downs but I think maybe your looking more now and didn't notice the first time around as well. I was paranoid about sex but that gets better as well. Try some of the basic first aid for prolapse DVD if you have it. Not sure if you can firebreathing while pregnant, more experienced with know I thought not so I didn't. Try to keep very good bowel movements and plenty of rest. Take care and it will be fine.

Agreed (about the
Agreed (about the firebreathing) and I didn't mean to suggest you should do that now. I was just trying to get a handle on your level of familiarity with WW and what you had been doing (if anything) up until this point, as you seem to know what WW posture is. At least I hope that's what you mean when you say posture. You speak of planning to use a sponge pessary so I wasn't sure. - Surviving
