Whole Woman Village Forum

Hi everyone,

Would love to know how anyone has been coping with the prospect of having a prolapse? I am struggling extremely it seems to be occupying my days day in day out and I'm even reluctant to leave the house at the moment because I'm that low :( I just can't imagine never being able to run around with my baby and just have a normal life and be able to do normally bodily functions without a panic every time I go the toilet or being able to have sex with my fiancé. It's too much to take and all I hope and pray is that with time things will get better.

I took the plunge and bought a saddle chair by Bambach. The shop adapted it for me to make it lean a little farther back than the original setting allowed. It will still set farther forward if I want to change the setting.

It requires me to be in posture!!! I can get into poor posture, but, I almost have to force myself to. This is awesome.

The down side is that I like to do the "New Kegels" sitting in my desk chair. This seat doesn't allow any rocking at all (which, upside is, it keeps me in proper posture).

First, I want to say that this website has already provided me with more useful information on prolapse than I can find anywhere else, and I am a scientist with no shortage of available resources to research this condition. So I appreciate the women here being helpful and candid. I have learned so much. I am 3 months postpartum with my first child in my early 20's. At 4 weeks postpartum, I realized that something was bulging out of my vagina, very close to the entrance. I realized it was prolapse.

So after a day of being in bitter tears, walking out and leaving my baby son with his father saying I can't cope, and frantically checking my parts to make sure every hour things aren't getting worse, I have now decided I need to take complete control of my body ASAP to ensure that things don't get any worse. Could somebody please point me in the right direction.

Having been learning about this for the last week, all these forward-leaning postures are unfortunately aggravating one of my other celes at the other end - I also have a hiatus hernia. I suppose this means I need to do most of my inverted positions in the earlier part of the day while my stomach is still fairly empty - but I suspect that my lower celes need these positions most at the end of the day. Has any one else had this debate with themselves? My underlying gut motility problem affects my whole digestive tract from swallowing to anus.

Hi,

When I insert a finger into my vagina I can easily feel my pelvic bones on either side near the entrance. Before giving birth I never noticed this. If I contract my muscles I can feel them move on top of the bone, but there seems to be only a very thin layer of tissue there, not thick and plump. What does this indicate?

First. Thank you Christine for creating this forum. I have yet to find ONE source
of information on prolapse that offers any solutions other than surgery
and kegels.
Here is my problem that is currently a big challenge..,
Sometimes when i have to use the bathroom I get my prolapse
coated w poo. This has made a mess (literally) of a common act and I haven't seen so much poo
since my kids were in diapers.
I don't think it's a common issue cause I have searched the forum and do not

Am I the oldest person on this forum (77)?
