24.01.2022 Why is your libido low?! Simple: low blood sugar + chronic stress = low energy and low desire.Why is your libido low?! Simple: low blood sugar + chronic stress = low energy and low desire.
23.01.2022 3 candles for our babies October 15th is #Pregnancy & #InfantLoss #RemembranceDay. A day where many families across the globe light a candle in remembrance of their baby whose life was too short. If everyone was to light a candle at 7pm in their local time and leave it burning for an hour there will be a continuous wave of light across the world for 24hrs. May you always see the #hope through that flicker of light.... Today and everyday I remember my 3 sweet cherubs who never lived earth side, but are flying high with my parents and loved ones Much love to you all
23.01.2022 This is one of the hardest weeks of my life and I am finally taking sometime out for me. Easter (holidays in general) always make me miss my parents and the life which could have been, plus this week is my mums birthday and the first anniversary of me loosing my first baby, after TTC for a very long time. I feel broken. I’ve cried. I’ve made poor decisions and I’ve beat myself up. But it’s time to grow. Being hit with hard truths. Working on myself. Being better within myself.... Being a better version of myself. Thank you to my amazing family and friends who have stuck with me on this bumpy ride. It’s time for some serious leveling up! I believed that I was a victim of their cruel actions, but the truth was I chose to be a victim to their actions by creating a story that kept me trapped in that space. I learnt that it was never the actions of another that limited me, it was what I did with the experience. My experiences were gifts to enable me to grow into my greatness, when I allowed myself to receive them like this.

21.01.2022 The land of Infertility Welcome to Holland When you decide to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting.... After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, Welcome to Holland. Holland?!? you say. What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy. But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go out and buy new guidebooks. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around. and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills.and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say Yes, that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned. And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss. But if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things about Holland. c1987 by Emily Perl Kingsley.

19.01.2022 Hi beautiful ladies! Just a quick post to say I am so terribly sorry for being MIA! I was so lucky to fall pregnant again in June, after my loss in April. ... Morning sickness and exhaustion kicked in pretty quickly and had me flattened. I am now going through a missed miscarriage. WOW I didn’t realise things could be worse than last time! Along with being let down by the hospital again! Being told my bloods where still rising, even though we couldn’t see a heartbeat at my 7 week scan, going home and being a crazy person, living in limbo land, days later, at a follow up appointment, I asked another Dr for my actual bloods and they had DROPPED! Wow! What a moron! I could have know there and then and prepared for the worst! These hospitals are really loosing my trust! I am still dealing with morning sickness now and unfortunately nothing is moving, so looks like I will need a D&C. Never in my life would I wish this upon anyone else. I was so clueless to this. My body literally still thinks I am still carrying a healthy little baby. It’s heartbreaking. I have a meeting with a different hospital tomorrow morning and considering my feelings towards the local hospitals, I am freaking out about what’s to come. Thank you all for your continued support and I look forward to being back soon
16.01.2022 The twelve week rule; is it out of date? This is an incredibly insightful article highlighting the negatives of the 12 week rule. Opening up the conversation around the lack of validation from society and how the 12 week rule perpetuates this. "We’re often told that miscarriages are no big deal because they’re really common; so is divorce, but you don’t often hear anyone say, Sorry your husband left you but it’s really common, and you can always get married again. "This e...stablishes a hierarchy of grief determined by the stage of gestation, that glibly dismisses early miscarriages as just a ball of cells, deeming only later losses worthy of mourning." We'd love your thoughts on the 12 week rule? Did you share before? Did it make it harder to receive the support you needed after your miscarriage? The Pink Elephants Support Network
13.01.2022 Mummas....are you tired, emotional, anxious, feeling isolated or experiencing memory loss? Baby brain is a real thing. We live in a society that doesn’t value giving women time to recover from their pregnancies. We don’t consciously replenish the incredible demands growing a baby places on our bodies. ... Nutritional deficiencies disrupt our hormones with disasterous effects on our physical and emotional wellbeing. Add sleep deprivation, a change in lifestyle and sense of self, and the fact we are often depleted before even going into our pregnancies, it’s little wonder women feel like they are drowning. Kira and Jacque share their stories on their experience with postnatal depletion, what to do about it and how we overcame it to now living an inspired, happy, passion filled life! https://youtu.be/8nscmoNThjY #postnatal #postnataldepletion #mummas #babies #tired #emotional #anxious #baby #mumofgirls #mumofboys #babybrain #memoryloss #sleepdeprived #sleepdeprivation #nourish #emotionalwellbeing #physicalwellness #isolated #happiness #physicalwellbeing #inspired #happy #passion #fulllife #gratitude #joy #baby #newborn #pregnant #pregnancy #pregnancies

03.01.2022 Did you know that in order to conceive, your body requires the right amout of estrogen and progesterone? Estrogen levels can become elevated from poor blood sugar control, adrenal fatigue and congested elimination pathways. When this happens, the relative concentration of progesterone can be insufficient! When the ratio is out, ovulation can become irregular. Further to that, without enough progesterone, your body cannot maintain a pregnancy. ... Lifestyle and the foods you eat can play a big part in this.
