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 FordMama and welcome.
Hi FordMama and welcome. This is extremely common, and if you use the search you'll find an infinite number of discussions of urethra. 7 weeks is very early in a healing period that could take up to two years. Whole Woman posture and bodywork are the ways we address all forms of prolapse. It is not primarily an exercise program; the exercises support the posture and must be done in posture to be effective. And no, it is not "pelvic floor muscles" but rather, we are returning to our original and natural spinal shape where the organs are held forward and kept in place by gravity and proper breathing. And this really has no bearing on future pregnancies; we've had many moms who were no worse off, and in many cases better, after subsequent pregnancies once they learned what to do. So, I would start by watching this:

You will be ditching any form of kegel exercise (trust me.....they only aggravate...Christine has written numerous articles on the subject). You will learn to STOP pulling in your abs and performing any type of exercises such as crunches that strain the pelvic organ support system.
At your stage, you are likely to find that things just get better on their own after awhile. That's what happened to me. I had issues after birth, which seemed pretty normal to me at the time (this was before the internet, and I didn't obsess, but certainly wasn't surprised to see things changing). I went back to a life of kegeling and horrendous posture, and prolapse eventually returned. I would have loved to have had this knowledge at your age! Good luck and feel free to ask your questions here. -- Surviving
