Postpartum depression takes a toll on many, many moms out there. Many suffer in silence with no support and do nothing to treat it. Or they do treat it with prescription drugs... which I do admit, is better than nothing... BUT there is a MUCH better way, it's all natural, and doesn't have the harmful side effects that drugs do.
doTERRA's Lifelong Vitality has been THE number one thing that has helped me postpartum. Depression worsens when we don't have the nutrition, and this is the easiest way to get a power pack of nutrition. And all the ingredients are in their bio-available form, so you're actually absorbing the nutrients unlike what happens in regular multi-vitamins or prenatal vitamins. It has the omega 3's in it that are so important to treat depression. And there's essential oils in these supplements which have so many benefits, too many to count.
Look, all the facts and info about what's in these supplements are here. But all I can tell you, is that I had the BEST pregnancy while taking these, and I've had THE BEST postpartum ever! I didn't have these supplements for my first two pregnancies and postpartum, so I can tell you that the difference has been 180 degrees!
After my other pregnancies, I had changing moods, left and right, and I just didn't feel right. I was ALWAYS tired, I was withdrawn from my husband, or else I just snapped at him all the time. Breastfeeding was miserable. I even had fleeting thoughts of suicide, or thinking that my family would be better off without me. And of course I drowned all these thoughts and feelings in sugar, so I got fatter and fatter, and the cycle would go around and around, and I'd get more and more depressed.
Well, THIS time... I've been much happier, I haven't had ANY mood swings... even that first week after the baby was born where there's a HUGE adjustment and hormones are fluctuating. I didn't even FEEL like my hormones were fluctuating, I felt NORMAL. Which was awesome! And, even when my baby was getting up to eat in the middle of the night, I didn't feel exhausted like I did with my other babies. I actually had ENERGY during the day. Also... I had struggles with breastfeeding in the past because of supply issues, namely, I had an overabundant supply. But I think these supplements have helped with my milk supply too, so I haven't had ANY of those same breastfeeding issues this time. And I'm SOOOO happy to say that I'm still breastfeeding at 6 months!
doTERRA's Lifelong Vitality pack has been amazing for me in so many ways, I can't list them all here. I don't think I've had a single issue with postpartum depression this time, not even a mild case of baby blues. To buy, click here, and find the Lifelong Vitality Pack under Wellness. Or... contact me and I can tell you how easy it is to get them for $20 cheaper per month.
