At the ripe old age of 27 my husband and I welcomed our first son into our family! Boy, did I and my husband find out the hard way that those pregnancy books do not tell
you everything that can happen during and after the birth.
I discovered I had a prolapse, a word most women do not know even though it will affect 50-75% of women in their life time. After the initial devastation I dived into 1000's
of hours of research to understand what prolapse is and what my options were. I also started a website for women to share their stories and educate each other; www.prolapsehealth.com
There are several types of prolapse that we will discuss fully in this project including cystocele, rectocele, unterine and vaginal. These prolapses can manifest themselves
at any point in a woman's life. The good news is that when recognized there are a variety of treatments, natural and surgical, that can restore our pelvic floors to full health. Most women are only affected mildly with prolapse which means they have the ability
to maintain pelvic floor health and not have to seek invasive options of treatment.
I have seen the need and have desired to do this project for several years. I have found women who are willing to openly speak out.
Thank-you sooooooo much for reading and watching the video! Thank-you for understanding the necessity of this project and being willing to consider being a part of the making
of this film. This film is not possible without your help, we cannot say thank-you enough for helping us share hope with the many women who need it the most.
In this modern age we can't continue to allow the "secret" to live in the dark.
