Hey, Qtrpony:

Are things going okay for you? I thought of you because I went riding today. I got on the old bouncy quarter horse this evening and had a grand time. We did a little trail riding (walk & trot) and then some walk, trot, and canter through a field. I used my internal support device (tampon). So far, so good, though I'll take it easy and do more WW exercises the next few days. It felt so good to be on a horse again.

Hi Ladies,

Dear Members,

Today is the day after a three-day extravaganza around the wedding of my son, which I will include a few pictures of asap. They were married at ancient mission ruins established at one of the long-gone colonies of Pueblo Indians called Quarai. It was a perfectly beautiful event from start to finish and I’m so happy that my son has married into a (huge!) family of people he dearly loves.

I’m also glad to be able to get back to work and feel a little explanation is in order for why we still have no videos of the Whole Woman work to offer.

Hi All

I've just been thinking about stuff I do outside and figured that there are better and worse ways of doing almost anything.

One of the worst things to do is hurrying. This probably applies to non-garden things too. If you take your time and do tasks mindfully it is usually possible to get your posture organised in your head before you do something stupid.

I am wondering if ther are any jeans out there that will not compress lower abdomen?

I only ask as without my noticing I lost weight and Ionly noticed today when I saw myself in my Mothers mirror and noticed my clothes were hanging lollllllll

I am wondering if there are any jeans out there that might be POP friendly as I havent worn any in like 15yrs - And would like to for some ridiculous reason that must be vanity or recapturing my youth - lol...

(If I don't answer in a few days it's cos I am supa busy this weekend)

Hello all,
so...measles are through, i have a holiday next week, and then i am tackling this thrush / candida!
I think it is probably systemic, and whilst I was going to say not related to prolapses, i read that candida can cause constipation which affects my rect, so there...I don't have to feel guilty taking up web space here with my thrush!

my homeopath gave me something and all my symptoms disappeared (hurray!) till I had antibiotics for two days, and then dared to eat a biscuit as i felt so good. bam, it's back--and i'm learning just how many places thrush can affect!

I am 63 and have had no children. I saw my gyno in June after feeling something dropping a bit through my vaginal opening and got the diagnosis of a cystocele. Wanting to avoid surgery, I asked about using a pessary and was told that pessaries were usually only used by old women and if I wanted to stay active (as in jogging, weight training, backpacking), I needed to have surgery. I didn't find anything at all re-assuring about surgery with the bit of online research I did and it wasn't clear how I was supposed to remain active with the restrictions that seemed to be required after surgery.

Today I was laying on my back and went to get up but was moving slow so I stopped midway and noticed that my stomach looked like you ladies described when doing nauli. My cystocele went up when I was laying like that. I had my head and neck off the bed. I am confused because I thought being on your back wasn't a great position as the bladder and uterus are not supported but that is the only way I can get my stomach like that. I have tried standing up and nothing. Anyone have advice for how I can do it standing up? Also how long are you supposed to hold it etc.?

Hello

I'm not sure if anyone will remember me. I posted a few months back.
I'm a young mummy to three, aged 6, 3.5 and 8mths. Following miss 8mths birth I discovered I had a prolapse (was cystocele, rectocele and also my cervix had prolapseed too).
Those initial weeks were pure torture, dealing with my 'failing' body and also postnatal depresson, I struggled to ever see a day where things would be close to normal (well as long as I could stand for more than 5 min without feeling like my insides would hit the floor, that seemed 'normal' enough)
