Some studies have shown this association, but research also suggests the increased risk is often due to related factors like longer pushing stages or more assisted deliveriesrather than the epidural itself. Always discuss your personal risks and options with your care provider.*Around the 17-minute mark, we talk about holding on to “arm fat” postpartum to help with milk production. Fat reserves in this season often go to places like your hips, thighs, butt, and sometimes arms... but we just want to clarify this might not happen to you. And if it does, it’s completely normal!!RESOURCES➡ The Wonder Weeks App https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-wonder-weeks/id529815782 ➡ Sleepy World https://open.spotify.com/artist/6O26WTYB21EXGNqQz6COVo?si=aRex8rx1QxmU5Bsuur1tjw ➡ We Are Amma Nursing Cover https://go.shopmy.us/p-22901151➡ 8 Sheeps Organics hair serum (code BALANCEDBEYARS) https://8sheep.com/products/postpartum-scalp-serum?_pos=2&_sid=43ba2848c&_ss=r ➡ 8 Sheeps Organics Belly Serum https://8sheep.com/products/true-belly-serum ➡ Postpartum & breastfeeding support https://nightlightdoula.com/  ➡ Meditations we love https://www.medigraytion.com/ABOUT USWe’re Carly, Alaina and Julie Beyar, three silly sisters helping you thrive through every phase of womanhood—cycle health, fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood—with real talk, hormone education, zero shame...and with a healthy dose of humor.
