Green Tea

Green teas, including the widely loved matcha, are generally considered safe for consumption during pregnancy. However, it’s important to monitor your caffeine intake and limit yourself to fewer than three cups daily. Keep in mind that green tea is rich in catechins, which may inhibit the full absorption of folic acid by your cells.

Teas to avoid during pregnancy
Cinnamon.
Chamomile.
Fenugreek.
Licorice.
Nettle.
Sage.
Thyme.

Fibroids are muscle and fibrous tissue growths that vary in size from pea-sized to melon-sized. Here are key points about fibroids:

Common: Many women develop fibroids, especially between ages 30-50.
Non-cancerous: They are typically benign and rarely become cancerous.
Unknown cause: The exact cause is unclear, but they are associated with estrogen and progesterone, shrinking after menopause.
Symptoms: Many women are asymptomatic; however, symptoms can include:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Painful periods
Pelvic pressure or pain
Frequent urination or bladder issues
Constipation
Lower back pain
Discomfort during s*x
Abdominal enlargement

If fibroids are asymptomatic, they may not need treatment and can shrink after menopause. For symptomatic cases, options include medications for symptom relief and various procedures, such as uterine artery embolization, myomectomy, or hysterectomy. The appropriate treatment depends on factors like fibroid size, location, number, and the woman's future fertility plans.

Mental Load: The Unseen Burden
Mental load refers to the often-overlooked cognitive and emotional effort required to manage a household and/or family. It encompasses the invisible tasks of planning, organizing, and remembering that ensure everything operates smoothly, frequently without receiving the recognition or acknowledgment it deserves.

To manage mental load effectively, consider these strategies:
1. Delegate tasks to share responsibility.
2. Set boundaries to safeguard time and energy.
3. Prioritize self-care for overall well-being.
4. Use organizational tools for better management.
These approaches can help lighten your burden.
