For years I've worn the same "uniform", and I've loved it. Levi jeans, belted, with tuck in button-up shirts (Aloha shirts in the summer, long sleeves in the winter).

Ladies of WW, I had been so hopeful in my last week of discovering POP symptoms and finding this supportive community.

Today after a bowel movement (all liquid diarrhea - it's like I'm peeing out of my butt - pardon the graphic image - but that's all I've managed to do for the past 3 weeks due to a rectal prolapse or intuss, haven't figured out which yet) -

but after the BM I had a bright red blood clot with white mucous come from my vagina.

I’m new to this work and trying to learn as much as I can. I’m so encouraged. So grateful.

I’m trying to adjust my posture both sitting and standing and hoping I’m doing it in a way that’s helpful. I’m looking forward to a live session where I can receive coaching at the end of April. In the meantime, I’m reading here and trying to emulate the videos and pictures I’ve found.

Hi

I have a small rectocele and fairly severe internal rectal prolapse which causes immense heaviness 24/7. I also have many mornings where I go to the toilet 3-4 times. My consultant has told me that he thinks it's where I am not emptying properly the first time round but I'm not so sure. I feel I pass too much stool over the 3-4 bowel movements and would have expected that if it was how he suggests, I'd pass a small bit here and there. I keep my stool soft so the majority of times, it comes out with ease.

I had my first real pelvic floor physical therapy session today. The first was really just an evaluation. And it was all kegel based as everyone told me to expect. Apparently, I cannot hold a kegel. Is there a benefit to me improving this? I know this may help with incontinence but my issue is urgency. She also suggested e stim and after reading one of Sierra's posts, this is something I may not be willing to try.

I have just lost my letter that I just typed, so here is a very shortened version.
If you don't have the chance to buy local Raw Honey, what I have seen in the grocery stores is small containers of Honey comb with some Honey still in it, is this Raw Honey?

Christine and Lanny have placed lots of clips on the site that we refer to often, so here are some quick links. Happy watching!

I would like to purchase this dvd , but I have to be sure that all of it can be done on a mat as I have very limited space. Can someone answer this for me please.
Also, I missed the conversation re: using something else other than honey as a vaginal cream. I used the pure raw honey and it burned something vicious. I'm allergic to beeswax, so I suspect that may be part of the problem even though I realize that beeswax and honey aren't the same thing. Are there other nourishing creams to make using anything else? What about grapeseed oil or whatever? I definitely need something !

Hi, friends,
Yesterday, I was talking with a nurse practitioner, and she said to stand against a wall and align your back to it. In my mind, that was against the WW posture.....in WW you would allow your shoulders and chest and your lower back to be at the wall, but your lumbar spine would be away from it....the more the better (within reason). She said that would cause lower back pain. Would some of you share your ideas on this, please?

Curious as to what implications this will have on pelvic organ support?
