@FemoidFairy Capable but we don’t have to do it alone. Being pampered like a queen and having someone there to meet your every need and support your partner to do the same is a luxury every woman deserves.

In my radical world, doulas are completely unnecessary bc women feel fully capable on their own(and they are)

@ladymidnightxxx @Themagicmuir You all but admitted you were too good for emotion release and that you don’t believe in root causes. So yes I believe you haven’t tried everything under the sun.

@StephCardozoPod @Themagicmuir You think I've had endometriosis for 22 years and haven't tried everything under the sun?

It took me until my second pregnancy to realize that nausea and vomiting is a result of a vitamin b6 deficiency. But women are sold the narrative that it's just normal and something to go through.

It is a moral duty to love. If that love creates a bridge to share, teach, and encourage them it’s appropriate and from the correct place ❤️ If it’s not from love it can be from pride and people will reject the truths you share for the wrong reasons as they are taught from the wrong reasons.

True or false: it is a moral duty to teach and encourage others to live the gospel as you understand and believe it.

You are over complicating it. There are literal solutions but you would just rather be miserable and fight for your ability to talk about it and do nothing about it. Also emotions are chemical messengers in the body and just like pieces of your uterine lining can get stuck so can emotions. They are physical things in your body that need to get out. If they can’t get out then they weaken where they get stuck. Just like toxins, inflammation, free radicals, etc.

@StephCardozoPod @Themagicmuir You're oversimplifying it. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with hormonal and immune system components.. not just inflammation.

@Themagicmuir @ladymidnightxxx Agreed 🙌🏼

@ladymidnightxxx @StephCardozoPod In western medicine there is no underlying cause for endometriosis (they profit off of their not being a root cause of course) but in an eastern lens, there are multiple reasons for the imbalance, including emotional reasons

@AWorth263 @heyekp I love them when I’m not trying to sleep ❤️

@StephCardozoPod @heyekp I love baby grunts☺️

Speaking of cosleeping

@ladymidnightxxx @Themagicmuir Endometriosis may not have a known cause but it’s inflammation and there are many ways to reduce inflammation and improve genetic expression.

@Themagicmuir @StephCardozoPod Endometriosis is not an imbalance of anything and causes women to be more sick on your period. Nice try though.

@Themagicmuir @ladymidnightxxx 100%

But if you have sickness during a period, it's because of imbalance within you.. it all comes down to some kind of imbalance, it's not the norm to just have these types of symptoms in pregnancy and in periods, but the system is telling us it is normal when there is an underlying root cause

Being sick on your period or during pregnancy is not normal. Our periods are our health report cards. If you are sick there is something wrong/missing and your body is asking for support and help. I used to have awful heavy periods, irregular cycles, and headaches. Now my periods are regular, painless, and I rarely get headaches and when I do I find a solution that makes them go away. The book The Period Repair Manual by Laura Briden is a great place to learn about how to help your body heal and have everything it needs ❤️

@StephCardozoPod @Themagicmuir But it might also be just a sensitivity to too much of a hormone. Certain women are more sensitive than others and from what I've found is that the women who are more sick on their periods tend to be more sick during pregnancy

Are you taking a good bioavailable magnesium? That’s the other thing I would recommend in addition to the brewers diet. So glad you are doing that by the way! Herbs can be really beautiful and powerful. The medical industry doesn’t know much about them so they just stick a contraindication label onto everything. My recommendation would be to research the herbs individually and see if there is any blood pressure risk and then to follow your gut ❤️ if you are religious I would also pray and ask God to guide the decision ❤️ Do what’s best for you ❤️ Not medical advice but a beginning to how I would approach if I was in the same situation ❤️

@StephCardozoPod @knittermom I’ve been doing brewer diet, my BP has been good so far, but I had postpartum preeclampsia last time and I’m trying to avoid it. Herbs are apparently contraindicated for preeclampsia risk

my midwife is recommending I take gentle birth tincture and I can’t decide if I want to bc herbs scare me ❤️

@Lumbuhjack @kenzietuff It’s a sick game changer 😅 we rely on it heavily over here. Even for the adults!

@kenzietuff Imagine breaking out the fuckin’ nebulizer every time your kid gets the sniffles. What even…

hey so I think we should put mommy influencers in prison probably

@thegenesisbl0ck I’ll keep my doulas 😅

You don’t need a doula. You don’t need a lactation consultant. You don’t need a sleeping coach. You’re more than capable to accomplish all of this by yourself.

@hippiesuck_ @knittermom Are you taking anything to address BP?

@knittermom Is this your first pregnancy taking it? I’m worried about raising my BP even w the blue cohosh-less version

@ladymidnightxxx @Themagicmuir But it might be. Particularly because it’s linked to thyroid issues. There’s always an underlying and root cause reason. You just have to find what it is. For me it was digestive issues and digestive enzymes fixed it.

@StephCardozoPod @Themagicmuir Yes but saying it's a b deficiency when clearly that is also just a nice theory is not it.

@AWorth263 @heyekp She’s just a loud baby and she grunts and moves constantly. We have a king bed to ourselves right now and I just need the space. I’ve had like 3-4 successful contact naps with her. With my son we’re were contact napping constantly really early on.

@StephCardozoPod @heyekp Before it was much of a topic, I used one of those play pen cosleep beds that was next to the bed. It was the best of both worlds. I have heard putting baby on dad’s side helps too.

@ladymidnightxxx @Themagicmuir That’s one theory. In that case what is causing the sensitivity? Chronic stress, magnesium deficiencies, thyroid issues, and inflammation can all cause sensitivities to hormones.

@StephCardozoPod @Themagicmuir Actually hyperemesis is caused by the woman's sensitivity to the hormone the placenta produces.

It can also be a lack of digestive enzymes. Also many b vitamins are not bioavailable and our body cannot use them. Also blood work shows is homeostasis which the body fights to maintain until it can’t anymore. The body will recycle relentlessly until it can’t and only severe deficiencies actually show up.

@Themagicmuir Ma'am.. respectfully no. I had hyperemesis both times and my b levels were great. (I was also taking b6 because it was supposed to help nausea)

@Themagicmuir Also the pancreas struggling to make enzymes. Food aversion with nausea towards food. Digestive enzymes saved me ❤️

@FightWithMemes @naomirwolf @FaithLikeAbish2

The conspiracy theorists are owed a great apology.
