Yeah, yesterday was the second time I bought kefir and I've had solid bowel
movements for nearly a week (TMI lol) and no gas, no upset stomach - I
mean, I haven't felt this well for a really long time. That lingering cold
has finally left. What sucks is I noticed that the store I'm buying it at -
which is the only one I've seen it at in the area, is out stocking them for
some reason (to replace it with more Latin American yogurt smoothies I
believe) :/ I did manage to buy a completely plain, no sugar added version
and it was really nice. Difficult to drink on its own, but I tossed in some
fruit and honestly, it makes it more than tolerable. I like it. I want to
be weird with it, and see how it turns out if I leave it in the room, but
since the inspections are random (and occur regardless if you're home or
not), I don't wanna chance it.
I believe for the most part, like, aside from weak sperm (swimmers are too
slow), it's all female.
I believe it's like 20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage in the U.S. I
don't know for sure if that statistic is actually lower elsewhere. More so,
most of them happen within the first 7 weeks. And, sometimes you don't even
know it happened.
From what I've learned and been told by my physician, your chances of a
loss are low IF you were healthy before you got pregnant and also at the
very veryyyy beginning, like in the first few weeks. Most miscarriages
happen in the first trimester, and from the looks of it, it's often because
you're already super unhealthy/ have medical problems/ are obese and/or
simply the fact that you didn't give your body the nutrients needed to
support that fetus when it needs it most. Just the folic acid alone is like
a make it or break it situation. And, you're right. So, yeah, diet. That's
more or less what it is.
Women think since I'm taking this prenatal, I can eat nothing but cake and
cookies for 9 months, but that's not the case. That prenatal is only there
to make up for those vitamins that are harder to come by and give you that
extra boost..but you're still supposed to have a nearly immaculate diet....
That's completely true. Like, I'm already overweight, so I shouldn't be
gaining more than 7-15lbs or so. If you're normal weight, you can gain a
little bit more - but this idea that it's OK and NORMAL to gain 50+ lbs is
just not true. And, yeah, you'll gain weight around your middle, and it's
normal to look pregnant still for several weeks after the birth, but that
all goes away on its own.
