PSA: a D&C is a medical procedure “in which the cervix is dilated and a special instrument is used to scrape the uterine lining.” (WebMD) While a D&C is used in some abortion procedures, it has a myriad of uses in women’s health care. My mom had one in her 60’s long past menopause. It saved her from having a hysterectomy.
To lie about a grieving mother - any grieving mother - who has tragically lost her baby to miscarriage is wicked.
To lie to women everywhere that there are now laws banning treatment for miscarriage and/ectopic pregnancy is dangerous and deceitful. Check out the Arkansas law which explicitly states that miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy care are not banned in any way.
If you think there is a state that bans miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy care, send the law which states that and I will post it.
Wherever you stand on abortion, tell the truth.

The amazing living properties of breast milk!

Breastmilk is nature's way of providing the perfect nutrition for your baby and also provides immunity to protect them from illnesses.

Breastmilk is made up of many different components that work together to help your baby fight off sickness.

Some of these components include:
💜 Antibodies: Breastmilk contains antibodies that are specific to the mother and can protect the baby from the viruses and bacteria that the mother has been exposed to.

💜 White blood cells: Breastmilk also contains white blood cells, which help to fight off infection.

💜 Lactoferrin: This protein in breastmilk binds to iron, which makes it difficult for bacteria to grow and thrive.

💜 Lysozyme: This enzyme in breastmilk can destroy the cell walls of harmful bacteria.

💜 Oligosaccharides: These complex sugars in breastmilk act as a food source for beneficial bacteria in the baby's gut, promoting a healthy gut microbiome

💜 Hormones: Breastmilk also contains hormones, such as interleukins, that help to regulate the baby's immune system.

💜 Living cells: Breastmilk contains living cells such as macrophages, lymphocytes, and neutrophils that help to protect the baby from infections.

All these components work together to protect the baby from illnesses and provide the baby with immunity.

So the next time your baby is sick, continue to breastfeed as much as possible.

“Twin” cousins! Our newest grandbabies were only 15 days apart. Big sis even got to be at little sister’s birth thanks to an awesome husband who kept baby near for nursing breaks all day while little sis labored. 💙💖
