I have a moby wrap that is very comfortable and snug. I am 6 weeks pp and I was wondering what is better to take a walk with? The stroller or the wrap? I am asking because I still have a lot of pressure and wear the v2 supporter so won't the extra weight of carrying the baby make the prolapse worse? But I also read that pushing the stroller is not good because you can't do the posture well....If I walk in posture with the sling will my organs be supported then and not make it worse? Sorry for all the questions.

Zelda if you're around, let us know. I've been wondering about you. Kit

My family goes to the mountains this time of year. Horseback riding is one of the things we enjoy. I'm not sure about this and hope someone can tell me. Would this set me back? No one but my husband knows about my prolapes. I have always been the healthy one and I don't want to tell other members of my family. I know they would make a big deal out of it. And I'm not one that wants to hear the "I'm sorry".
After going through menopase,and having these prolapes at the same time, I still feel like a "whole Women". Thanks for any comments!

Hi Christine,

Sorry to post here but I did e-mail you and haven't had a response so not sure if you got it (I know you are busy).

I just wondered if USPS gave you any indication as to how long it takes express mail to reach the United Kingdom? I am still eagerly awaiting my Whole Woman package which was shipped to me last Monday.

I just got through reading some of Christine's Book, "Saving the Whole Woman". In it, says a precipitous delivery can damage the vaginal walls. When the baby is delivered too soon the tissues do not have time to adapt to the transition.

Hi, Everyone!!

Today is my sharing day. I've discovered a lot of information (see Important Pessary Information) over the past two months, and I want to pass it along.

I have never practiced meditation before - but a Doctor who is a friend and who knows that I've been having prolapse problems suggested that I begin taking time during the day to meditate.

I took a nature walk today. My brain functions differently when I'm in nature. There is a voice that speaks to me in profound ways. Today, it was my body talking to my spirit. Odd, because I've always thought, or thought I always thought, that the mind/body/spirit were one. Today, my body called to me and brought my attention to focus solely on it. It was like it was telling me that the body is home to the spirit, but not one with the spirit. It was a very strong presence that came to me. I guess it makes sense since I believe the spirit leaves the body upon death.

Hi everyone,

I think I may have bought the wrong type of Flax Seed. I bought Flax Seed Oil in capsule form which I take before going to bed everynight but this morning I had the most horrendous constipation and it really panicked me and has left me with really painful haemorraoids. Constipation is something I have never suffered from before, in fact its usually quite the opposite, but the last few weeks have been a bit troublesome.

I've had a cystocele for several years - but because of some heavy carrying over last winter (a "no, no"), a bout of coughing with respiratory flu (I've now learned to cross my legs and kegel when coughing since coughing is one of the worst things for a cystocele), and the aging process of ligaments loosening (I'm 64), the cystocele went from a Stage 2 to a Stage 3 out of 4.

Hey Everyone:

Been quite a while since I've posted here -- just about a year since I was initially diagnosed with a rectocele and cystocele. Let me say to anyone struggling with the rectocele - which was definitely more problematic to me than the cystocele -- diet and posture helped that ENORMOUSLY and I went from experiencing initial pain with it, to none. That has been great.

But now...

ugh.

The cystocele. A problem.
