Back pain from the posture? What am I doing wrong?

Hey.
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? After three days walking and sitting in (what I believe is) the posture, I now notice some lower back pain.
I guess this must be quite common, so I hope someone has some advise.

Maybe I have been overdoing it? I think it is hard to think of pulling all bodyparts in their right position all at the same time, so I just think of myself as a proud masai woman ;) Or likewise.

How do I notice when I am doing it right? Or should I just give myself som rest? Maybe it is muscle ache?

66 YEARS YOUNG & LIVING WITH A PESSARY

I AM NEW TO THIS SITE AND WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK.
I have a uterine prolapse and have had a pessary fitted.
So far so good although I wonder if the pessary is causing me to be constipated. I have never been constipated before and I have now developed a fissure.
I would so appreciate any info on living with a pessary and if Christine Kent's book has helped.
Thank you so much.

Needing some encouragement

Hello all,

first, I have wonderful news - our daughter Zoe was born early Thursday morning in a wonderful, calm birth using hypnosis. She was 6 lb 6 oz and is so terrific. We're working hard getting nursing established.

The hard part is how my pop has responded. Right now my cystocele is outside my body and probably qualifies as grade 4. Uterus is prolapsed too, probably grade 2. Haven't assessed rectocele but I had a 2nd degree tear so it is likely worse too.

trimo-san question

I have been prescribed Trimo-San jelly to maintain vaginal acidity. I don't have a prolasped uterus or wear a pessary. I've been reading about the 'toxicity' of Trimo-San and am now nervous about starting it....does anyone have comments or alternatives? Thank you.

Anyone have experience with this???

Hello ladies! One of my dear friends recently went through a very traumatic labor and delivery in which she suffered some nerve damage. She wasn't able to urinate on her own, so she had to go home with a catheter. She went back to the doctor after the first week and still wasn't able to go on her own. Has anyone heard of this? If so, what is usually the outcome? I just can't believe a week pp she still has to have a catheter. I feel so bad for her.

As always, any input is much appreciated.

my rectocele, my cystocele and me

First: This is a wonderful forum. The only place on the web where women focus on the positive things. I wish we had something like this in my country. (excuse my writing - I don't write in english that often!)

bicycling

I am 61 and am thinking about buying an "old lady bicycle" to go around the neighborhood. Is this okay since I have vaginal prolapse? Please answer quick because hubby may want to buy it today!

omega-3 and 6 sources

Hi there,

I've done a search on here and can't find quite what I'm looking for and some of the info on the net is contradictory. My question is, can anyone please provide a reliable list of foods containing omega-3 oils and foods containing omega-6 oils (some contain both), I would find it very helpful and I guess that so would some other people here. I'm aware of all the seed and nut oils eg sunflower, safflower, corn oils, being high in 6s. Not sure whether olive oil is ok. Sorry if this has indeed been done and many thanks. Judith

Fragility

Hi Ladies --

I am now 6 weeks postpartum and am feeling pretty good. Usually no symptoms from the cystocele, except that I know that it -- the bulge -- is there. But I feel fragile. I feel that I have to watch every little thing I do so that I don't make things worse. I worry about it all several times a day -- but am doing okay by not letting it consume me like it was a few weeks ago. Many of you who have offered encouragement and said that things heal, does the feeling of fragility ever go away -- or are you all watchful and careful?
