Whole Woman Village Forum

Hi all, I am a newbie (sadly) and read in some of the comments about the v2 supporter. Does it help with the feeling of constant pressure? I don't think my bladder prolapse is in a serious stage but it really is bothersome and I look forward to starting with the WW techniques. I have worn a body shaping corset a lot in the past and realize that I can't wear that anymore (I assume) but I want to keep an active lifestyle as much as I can. And also, would any of you recommend starting yoga? I have never done it before but want to.

Hi everyone. I have had my cystocele for about 14 years now. I discovered it after moving and lifting heavy boxes. Scared me to death. I immediately went to my gynocologist who said she could repair it and I better not wait too long because if it got worse, it would be harder to fix. It was about a stage 2 at that point. So I was going to go through with the surgery and my dad, for some reason, ask me to reconsider. which is really strange since my mother had the same problem and successfully had her's repaired surgically and never had any problems after that.

Hi, I just purchased the First Aid for Prolapse video and have watched the whole video but still have some questions on the exercise portion. The Pelvic Rocks look to me to be same as the New Kegels. Is my assumption correct? Also, on the Pelvic Rocks, is there a variation to do them where you don't have to be sitting on your knees? My feet cramp up really bad when I have them stretched back behind me. Next question is about the Firebreathing. It too looks like the New Kegels except for the exhaling thru pursed lips. Am I doing this correctly?

Dear WW villagers, I’m new here — inspired by your collective resilience, resolve, and generosity of spirit — and have a few detailed questions about my very hazily diagnosed cystocele. I will try to be succinct while providing enough backstory.

Hi all. I've been working on my WW posture and exercises for several months now. I've had a setback after coughing for 3 weeks through a cold and a secondary infection that also included a cough. I have a stage III uterine prolapse and started cupping my hand against the vaginal opening hoping that would help during the coughing. Of course, I couldn't do this in public and sometimes couldn't get to it before the coughing came. I accidentally found an old thread here about the v2 supporter.

I have ordered your videos, read your book, scoured your website and read the forum regularly. However, I still have not found a detailed description of exactly what the whole woman posture is and how to do it. I also see that fire breathing is talked about a lot and is done in your videos. However, again I cannot find any detailed description of exactly how to do it. Am I missing something? Can someone please help me locate a description on how to do these steps to helping a prolapse? Many thanks!

Has anyone had an office procedure called Saline infusion sonogram with an endometrial biopsy. This is what my doctor wants to do after my second outbreak of bleeding. I am very nervous about this procedure. Thanks

32 weeks pregnant. Finally saw a physiotherapist who checked me out. She said that it was minor and that yes my vaginal wall had loosened but by about 0.5 cm, whereas she is used to seeing 2-3 cm, so that's good. She had me flex as if stopping gas from passing and tuck in my belly, which I was able to do. She suggested I do 10x 3 reps of these per day until the end of my pregnancy, to maintain what muscles I have and then post partum I could work on strengthening.

I have a question about why my bladder prolapse seems to be so much worse some days and almost gone the next.

I have downloaded First Aid for Prolapse which has put my mind at ease since my prolapse happened 4 weeks ago. I know I can get through this but it's still very daunting.

I'm just so perplexed why the bulging can be so severe some days. It's very distressing. I have a 9 month old baby and also a 4 year old at home with me and can't spend much time on the exercises at the moment but I am really trying hard to correct my posture all day.
