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.

Remember, the forum is here for two reasons. First, to get your questions answered by other women who have knowledge and experience to share. Second, it is the place to share your results and successes. Your stories will help other women learn that Whole Woman is what they need.
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!

Reading
Well.....this is just something each of us has to figure out. I personally do a certain amount of reading and iPad viewing in the position you are describing, in the evening before going to sleep. It's just what feels good to me at the end of a long day. Some support in the small of your back while doing this is a good idea. We compensate for a certain amount of this, by perfecting our posture so that when we're upright, the lumbar curve is in place and the organs are protected. During the day I would never slouch around like that (wouldn't have the opportunity, even if I wanted to!) so I allow myself a little bit of it before bedtime. When you are early on in this work, it's something to always be conscious of; as time goes by you will start to realize you don't need to obsess too much because your body knows what to do.
I'm speaking from the perspective of someone with cystocele/rectocele that is well-managed by years of posture work. Someone who is dealing with a profound uterine prolapse may advise you to be more careful of this. - Surviving

I usually sit up in a dinning
I usually sit up in a dinning room chair when I am reading the computer, or with lumbar support in other chairs. In bed, I lie on my side to read.

I switched from reading books to ebooks and audio books. Kindle is best to read. Usually read before bed time .....
