El... Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I feel a little silly asking this, but you folks are a large pool of (mostly) women who might have the input I need, so here goes! When my second child was about 9 months old, I began having PMS-like emotional swings (you know, "He left his socks on the floor, so obviously he DOESN'T love me at ALL! Waah!") which lasted for 3 months until I returned to a normal cycle. I was (and am) heavily breastfeeding. It took me six weeks to realize that I was hormonal. Calling it hormones helped me relax and push past the horrible feelings, but during those three months, I really, really didn't ever want to have another kid. I felt crazy. I did a lot of crying. I wanted to give away all the baby gear. My poor husband.... I feel much better now. Is this anybody else's experience? Is there a way to smooth this out if we decide to have a third child?

Flowing Brook Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I used to get like that for two weeks out of the month, every single month. It was awful. I would sit and cry over nothing. Then I started getting angry. I hated it for myself and my family having to live with me. I seriously found myself wishing I could go live in a cave or on a deserted island for that time. Thankfully I found women's freedom tea from mountain rose herbs. I now feel like a different person. I never since I started taking it have even the slightest hint of pms. Things don't bother me and I finally feel like a normal human the whole month not just a week or week and a half out of the month. It is the most amazing stuff ever and I will never run out again. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El... Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks, I'll look into that. Do you think you can take it while nursing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowing Brook Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks, I'll look into that. Do you think you can take it while nursing? I can't see why not. I don't think it would hurt speaking as an herbalist and midwife. However use your own judgement. Maybe start with a little bit then work your way up. I drink 16 oz a day. I miss a few days but try not to miss a lot. Edited November 10, 2012 by puddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
