Does anyone deal with high cholesterol?
I’m 29, and had mine checked the other day, it does run in my family, how ever mine was considered very high, and my doctor said it could possibly be due to having a baby, sometimes that can throw it off. My LDL is 195. 😬
Have any of you dealt with it being high due to having a baby? I’m also 3 months PP. last time it was checked was 4 months before I got pregnant and it was normal

I’ve been dealing with this since I gave birth. I’ve never had abnormal labs until I had a baby and took birth control. It’s gone down significantly, but it’s still high.
My OB said it can be caused by diet, stress, or birth control. I’ve been off birth control for over a year. I was taking COQ-10 with red yeast rice to lower it, but it made me break out bc of the niacin in it so I stopped taking it. Now I’m going to try red yeast rice pills by themselves—I bought them from a vitamin store.

12 Week Scan… Not the result I was hoping for
I had my 12-week scan today… well 12w 6d. The ultrasound tech said the baby was in a bad position and it was hard to see everything. The baby measured well at 13w 2d. Heartbeat was 152bpm. At the end the tech said that she would refer me to the hospital as her measurements picked up that one side of the heart was larger than the other… though she said it could just be that it was hard to tell with baby’s position. I’m a little anxious as I was hoping to see that everything is okay. Has anyone experienced this? Any helpful advice or hopeful stories? Thanks xx

I feel like I've fallen into a TV trap with my toddler
We did no screens up until I fell pregnant with baby number 2 and my only way to survive the sickness and fatigue was to allow 1 show per day. It started at 30 minutes now it's an hour and twice a day.
We get up at 7am have breakfast, get outside, attend a toddler class or playgroup then when we get home I let her watch nursery rhymes for 45 minutes whilst I make lunch. Then she eats, naps for 1 hour, wakes, we then play together, head outside again then she gets 1 hour around 4pm of tv whilst I cook dinner. Then she eats at 5pm and we go to the park after dinner before coming home for bath and bedtime routine, bed at 8pm.
I feel like it went from nothing to almost 2 hours per day quite quickly. Is this really bad?
She's almost 2.
