It was so bad this time around that I've decided to try cutting sugar out of my diet...not all of it, just the scoops I put on my breakfast cereal, the candy, chocolate, cookies, juice, soda, etc... that I have been bingeing on. My headache went away after the first day (That would have been Sunday). I haven't been super consistent since then, but, hey, maybe it will help.Eva's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362024512350527593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342989442322137175.post-35654762960881947362009-07-02T01:22:35.120-07:002009-07-02T01:22:35.120-07:00Turns out my horrible few days earlier this week c...Turns out my horrible few days earlier this week conincided with the exact same thing. I don't think it was just bad luck. <br />But I also never had PMS before the girls were born, all those hormones just never seemed to change my mood terribly.<br />I can't decide if it is the hormones that make me feel worse or the psychological side of things. That completely obvious, undeniable sign of not being pregnant anymore. <br />My husband did the exact same head shaky thing too. Understandable yet infuriating.<br />If I find the trick to riding it out, I'll let you know. xxCatherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342989442322137175.post-67937425239247329432009-07-01T19:57:15.462-07:002009-07-01T19:57:15.462-07:00My cycles returned to normal quickly after Sam'...My cycles returned to normal quickly after Sam's death but I definitely react differently than before. It's a reminder that I'm not pregnant, that my body has other plans, that I'm not in control and it reminds of the miscarriage I had 5 months after Sam died. I lose it every month and go into a serious funk until the resignation sets in and then, unbelieveably, hope, thinking "maybe this month"...<br /><br />I think we have to remember that on top of our overwhelming grief, we had to handle being post-partum. Not easy.

And it took us seven months, which I realise is nothing now but at the time it was the purest form of hell I know.<br />Not sure I have any advice though, just ride through it somehow. I found by about day 2, I was normally feeling "ok" again. I just have a very different type of ok now.Hope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.com
