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.

I think the reason I didn't
I think the reason I didn't have any pain was the fact that I had to sit up in the truck and with all the bouncing around, I didn't tense up my muscles. Since I have been home, however, I have been hurting and I feel it's due partly to my job. There is great pressure to work overtime and sitting in this chair yesterday really put me back.
I don't have the book or the dvd yet and can't find the information about proper posture positions. Could someone share that so I could practice and maybe get through today without tears?
I feel very alone with this right now and any input is vastly appreciated.

calligirl,
calligirl,
The posture isn't something that you can learn in just a day. It takes time for you to learn it, and then for your body to shape into it. For most of us, especially at an older age, this can take awhile. I noticed as I went along, the aching and burning were the first symptoms to go. It does take dedication and time to do this so the best place to start would be the Saving the Whole Woman book and First Aid for Prolapse DVD, There are many bundles, single items, online course, etc to choose from, so this can be a very affordable process for anyone.
But, it takes you to want to take control of your life, and believe me, when you do that, you won't be sorry to have taken this journey, and will be so much the stronger for it.
Best wishes to you.

Hello,

Can you share how you manage it? Is it some exercise, herbal treatment or some other treatment. It’s great to hear about your recovery...
Best wishes to you.

Hello Bane and welcome,
Hello Bane and welcome,
The way to managing prolapse is by using the whole woman posture. In whole woman posture your pelvic organs are moving into the lower belly with the help of proper alignment and breathing pinning those organs in place. Keeping our pelvic organs out of the vaginal space, as well as helping our hips and spines, is what this work is all about, and what this site is all about. Please have a good read around, starting at the tool bar above.

Truck Seats
Hi,
Some of the truck seats are quite flat aren't they. Maybe you were in sitting WW posture on your band trip. I think it is harder when driving as you have to work the clutch and I find in my husband's car that it is quite hard on my prolapse. I drive an automatic. His seat tilts back being a car seat. I don't have any driving advice but re the posture I am coming up 3 years on here and 4 years with prolapse (got symptoms after birth of my 2nd child).
I found the sitting WW posture came very quickly to me but the walking posture has taken me a long time - I had a lot to tweak. I keep adjusting things and use my symptoms as a guide and also use how my posture feels and looks compared to what I see and read in the WW material. I'm in a good place with that now but continue to tweak things and see how that goes until I know I have it right. It's great work and so worth putting the effort in.
I (like many others) wish I knew what I know now and didn't have prolapse but could still live the WW way of life, it is that good. Of course I would slump into the couch a bit and wear the odd tight thing if I didn't have prolapse or fancy shoes but I choose to go fully WW as I get quite annoying symptoms otherwise. Note by fancy shoes, I mean shoes that do not have a flexible sole allowing for the WW foot movement (this is most shoes it seems!).
All the best with this magic work.
I have a range of resources by the way and find that reading and watching has been essential to my learning. You can go to YouTube and type in Whole Women and there is a fair bit on there, along with on this site. I needed extra resources to go very indepth to learn but still often watch those videos too.
