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.

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!

namow -Car seats and lying position in bed
Hi namow,
Yes, seating of all kinds are not kind to the natural human form!
I don't drive very much but when I do I sit as close to WWP as I can, adjusting myself so that I sit as upright as possible and remember to keep my chin slightly tucked as well.
You could also put a wedge shaped cushion on the seat to even up the angle, and also put something behind your lower back to help keep the lumbar curve.
Initially I used to put something behind my back, and make sure that my jeans/pants are not too tight while sitting - I use elastics for the hair to extend the opening between the button hole and the button.
I can find that I am brushing the ceiling of the car with my head if I sit up too straight! If I could I would lower the seat downward a bit to see if that helped... if anyone does that they have to keep in mind that the knees can't be higher than the hips when seated...in that case, a small foam wedge to even up the seat so that it is going from very narrow at the front so as not to raise the height of the seat and getting thick enough toward the back so that it only fills in the level needed and no higher...
As with lying in bed, on the back is fine because the organs are not subject to the back and downward intra abdominal pressure as they are when we are up and about. I find it the most comfortable position.
If you look up posts for driving, when you are logged in you can click on a contributor's name - Louiseds and read her posts on making a bolster type cushion, for her lumbar curve, for her car. She drives much further than me to her town, so it is a good idea and transferable to other vehicles also!
All the best,
Aussie Soul Sister
