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.

RE: Advise on a second pregnancy
It is most likely the position she was forced to birth in at the hospital that helped create the damage more than the actual size of the baby. My first 7#11oz was born via c/s as dr. said my pelvis was too small. My second was born 8#5oz vaginally at home in a squatting position with two wonderful midwives with no episotomy and a small "skidmark". My third was born 8#2oz after a 2 1/2 labor with no injury to my pelvic floor. This birth was so nontraumatic that I was actually feeling amourous three days after his birth. I didn't act on it :), but I felt as if I could.
I am of the belief that her body has already stretched once to accomdate a fairly large child and that it should "remember" that stretch and not cause damage. This is only my personal opinion and my own personal experience. I hated recovery from my c/s and I believe that the peeling of my bladder from my uterus and the removal of my uterus from body to examine it after the c/s were what actually set me up for pelvic organ prolapse.
