Things that make me feel great about my sway:
Breastfeeding/pumping for 7 months with no supplementation when I conceived. Dairy soy free diet limiting all the things I could eat. I had not been sleeping well because DS was going through a growth spurt I think and wanted to nurse in the middle of the night again. Feel like my maternal condition was declining due to lack of sleep and options of food as well as DS nursing constantly or me pumping all the time.
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
We were not trying because I had not been on the diet long enough and was still eating lots of potato chips as snacks. I was taking in a lot of salt as well.
Things worth mentioning:
We feel like this baby was meant to be boy or girl. I had not gotten my PPAF yet so I had no idea I was even ovulating. I was going to start testing with opks in JUne.
