Running on empty

Since becoming a mum, I’ve realised how many women are quietly running on empty.

We get told our bloods are “normal.”
But we’re exhausted.
Snappy.
Foggy.
Not sleeping properly.
Just… not ourselves.

I work in functional medicine, and we look at bloods through a more optimal lens, which often explains so much that standard testing misses.

I’m thinking about offering this specifically for mums.

Would anyone be interested in chatting about it? 🤍

C Section Saturday

I am having my second c section on Saturday, I am so nervous I keep hearing having a scheduled c section is so much calmer but I am so nervous, and nervous about how I am going to manage a newborn and a toddler that is so attached to me

Another one?

It happened.

After my c-section I laid in that hospital and I said NEVER AGAIN. I’m never going through the experience of birth (c-section or vaginal) EVER AGAIN.

I told my husband “sorry babe, after this I am one and done. I can’t do this type of trauma and pain ever again”.

My boy is 3 months old now, I looked at his adorable little face… and said

“Shit I want another”.

Hope all the June mamas are hangin in!

😂❤️

98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance

After surgery underwear

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?
