Water...
I don't touch sodas because they're all just loaded with sugar...
The only thing I might have is an occasional Nespresso...

I don't have Microsoft ☕

It helped me kill some boredom, and honestly, it’s still helping

I'm not exactly breaking out in a sweat or anything, mostly because I haven't been hitting the gym lately... so I'm just hoping my thyroid isn't acting up. But honestly? I'll probably head down to the doctor just to be safe and get checked out...

I’m still dealing with hair loss, honestly. It’s not quite as bad as that crazy shedding phase I had about 3 or 4 months after giving birth, but yeah, it’s definitely happening.
...plus, I’m way thinner than I was before I got pregnant.
I didn't actually gain a ton during my pregnancy (only about 28 lbs), so I was already keeping an eye on my thyroid levels beforehand, but I probably should get them checked out again...

Rachel Rogers43, did you actually get blood work done? Who even told you to go in for those tests... how did you figure it might be your thyroid?

Are you actually liking it?

I'm pretty happy with it... it's made by Pfizer
I mean, you've definitely heard of Centrum vitamins, right? (they've got everything from Vitamin A down to iron)🙂= well, they have their own line specifically for moms-to-be and nursing ladies

I was on Prenatal before, but now I've switched over to Centrum Mom

So, I finally went ahead and picked up some Centrum Materna...

Knock on wood, but I haven't dealt with mastitis or any other breast issues, and I've been nursing for three years now. I’m certainly no pro at this, but I think my body just knows how to protect itself.

Sure, maybe your body is shielding you from germs, but it isn't doing squat about milk stasis...

Rachel Rogers43 said:From what I can gather, it's bacterial mastitis, though there's definitely a connection to leftover milk sitting there mixed with bacteria.

Yeah, exactly... it’s not even about your immune system!

I’m basically on a daily supplement crusade just to stay upright... right now I'm hitting the beta 1.3 D glucan, tossing down prenatals whenever, and honestly? I eat like a beast. I’m basically doing two full lunches 🤣 on top of my regular meals and snacks. I’m trying to figure out how to make milk more nutritious without blowing my budget or leaving nothing for myself 🤣 but man, the scale just won't budge.
