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 youngmom and welcome.
Hi youngmom and welcome. First, let's dispense with your doctor. To tell a 28-year-old that she will "never have an issue with prolapse" is ignorant and irresponsible. I won't spend any more time talking about the medical profession's handling of prolapse because it is very well summarized here in Christine's own words. If you don't read it now, please do so before you go back to see this guy (assuming you ever do):

It is actually very common for a rectocele to manifest itself several weeks post partum. You will go through some more ups and downs during the recovery period, which is a couple of years long. Learn and practice Whole Woman posture, and stay in it as much as you can, with the organs held forward in the lower belly. Protect your lumbar curvature when you bend (from the hips, not the waist), lift and carry (keep the load close to your body and you will actually be helping your prolapse with the extra weight if you are in WW posture), drive (keep something behind you, supporting your lower spine). I'd recommend Christine's book and her First Aid for Prolapse dvd for an overall understanding of true female pelvic anatomy and how to protect pelvic organ support. You can also subscribe to Destination Prolapse Free which also now includes live streaming of all her videos.
Once you incorporate this posture correction, you can expect to be fine with future pregnancies. You may have your ups and downs but everything tends to get out of the way for birth. Aim for a gentle birth, not flat on your back please!
