Any mamas trying to lower consumption of toxins from food?

So me and bae been having skin issues, eczema and acne…also low energy and I have brain fog…my period started being irregular and I know I couldn’t be pregnant so I realized I needed to make permanent changes in the food we are eating, my 4 yr old is fine but I saw a lot of food I was buying had high fructose corn syrup and a lot of chemicals preservatives and artificial dyes…yes everything is polluted but I don’t wanna buy these foods with more toxins in them so I had to buy brands that had simple ingredients in them and higher quality meat and dairy and veggies/fruits from the farmer’s market…

(As far as my cycle I started drinking herbal tea blend and for women that are NOT pregnant and that restored my hormonal balance and brought my period back and increased my libido and 💦🌊🐳 )

I also started drinking elderberry tea, and chaga mushroom tea as well…looking to detox and lose weight…any mamas out there on the same journey? What helps you?

i really want another baby

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
