Try Natural Supplements

Disclaimer:

Do your research first!

I first tried natural supplements while breastfeeding my first and trying to conceive my second. The big one you might hear about for irregular menstrual cycles and possibly helping a postpartum menstrual cycle start is vitex! When trying to conceive my second, I did not take vitex, because I heard good and bad things about it. Also my gynecologist did not give me information to help me with my choice. Mainstream healthcare professionals generally don't give / have / support information about natural supplements, because natural supplements do not always have enough case studies and are not usually FDA approved in the US. I am also told vitex is not safe to take while pregnant and some studies even say while breastfeeding. I have known some women who took vitex and got pregnant fairly quickly though. My husband and I remained on the fence, because we would have like there to be more information to make a more informed decision. However, the nurse at my OBGYN and a pharmacist , did tell me it was okay to take Vitamins B6 and Vitamin C while nursing. I heard about trying Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C, because on my online mommy group, one gal had posted about a case study that showed women taking the Vitamin C and Vitamin E helped the women get pregnant.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect.

Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer.
