Tomorrow I am going for another opinion on my prolapse...I was first diagnosed by my midwife who doesn't have a lot of experience with this and thought I should get another opinion...I am nervous as I never go to doctors...blah. This one is a gynecologist who is married to a homeopath so I thought she would at least be holistically oriented. It is comforting to know you are all here to talk to if I need to afterwards!

HI all, I went to the doc and he now diagnosed me with my uterus dropping. My cervix is no where near the opening and I am trying my best to keep it that way. I need opinions. I am a college student and plan to grad this May. THis will be my last semester and of course the most intense. I was wondering if i take the next couple of months off to rest, from now till Sept of 08, just rest rest and not worry about anything only my baby. I was wondering if I were to take it easy the next couple of months and just do posture and PT will it make it better.

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted in some time and have been feeling pretty good generally. I still read often and think of all you lovely ladies out there! :)

I am really in need of some support though and I hate the way I am feeling but it just wont go away however hard I try to make myself feel and think.

O.k. this is gross but I thought it interesting. In the past when I had a period and if I wore a pad the blood always landed at the front of a pad/panty liner. Now since holding the posture and during this period, and as I am only wearing a pad, I have noticed that everything is right smack in the middle of the pad. Does that mean I am holding my body correct and pulling my vagina into its correct position?

Do you get what I am trying to say and do I make sense?

Sorry if that is more information than you wanted to hear but just trying to understand things.

Christine:
I have read both of your books and also have the DVD. All of your resources include a wide variety of exercise choices. My problem, however, is time. At the present, I am the primary 'bread-winner' in my family. My day starts at 5:30 for my first job which includes a daily commute. I return home about 6:00 at night to start dinner, eat, clean the kitchen, etc. My second job invloves sales work which I do at home at night.

Evening is not the time for me to exercise as I must commit whatever energy I have left to the second job and any personal obligations that I have.

I just thought it interesting to share what I've discovered about our Western way of toileting through my daughter.

I have just gone through the toilet training stage with my daughter and as it's summer in Australia she's been running around on the beach a lot. Whenever she pees or poos not on the toilet I notice that she squats to go. When she was in the bath tonight she said a few times while she was sitting down that she had to pee but then didn't. Finally, she lifted herself forward a bit so she was up into a kind of kneeling squat and then was able to pee.

Hi Ladies,

Just thought I'd give an update on how my pregnancy is going with POP.

I'm in the second trimester now. I'm feeling pretty good. The POP hasn't dropped any further,. Things are pretty stable ATM.

I'm comfortable most of the time (certainly no less than before I became pg with bubba number two). I'm still walking and dancing and doing a bit of pre-natal yoga when I can fit it in.

When I wake up I have a "3 Month" belly and don't feel bloated but as the day goes on my prolapse feels heavier and more uncomfortable. My belly is bigger and looks "5 months" and feels bloated. So it isn't a nice WW belly. Is this from the prolapse? Do others get this? Or is it something I am eating?

hi im new here im 30 and had a front wall prolapse 3 wks after having my 2nd child, i was told to just carry on with my life and when she turns 2, she is 19mths now, they would possibly consider me for surgery? the thing is i need to exercise and have a mini trampoline but sooo afraid to use it? i try it and soon after things are all back down. if i dont go near it i get goods days maybe 7 to 10, any ideas, i am very down about it and delighted to find this site

Good morning Ladies,

I've been wondering about what the role of healing music might play in our POP journey/healing. I find throughout the day I am so focused on the "negative" of it all: is it hanging low, will it peek out today, will it FALL out finally, this sucks, somebody wake me up, why me, how do I live with this for the next 50 years, and on and on and on.

I've decided I will start playing background music to help me at least on some level maybe. The album I'm going to start playing today is:
