Keeping a Positive Mood
after Pregnancy

Once you make it through the first two weeks after pregnancy then you simply need to keep track of the demands on you versus your ability to recover. Nutrition plays a role in its ability to help you have more energy, greater stress tolerance, and natural thyroid support. All of these issues are fully covered on the Prenatal Nutrition topic pages, and the tips given there.

Being a mother is not always easy -- and is quite demanding. Wear and tear is expected -- mood may suffer. Some of this is quite normal and expected, considering all that you have been through and all you must now do. However, you don't want a lack of energy to lead to a magnified problem.

In general, the most basic approach is to ensure you have
adequate dietary protein and B vitamins, as described above. If needed use Stress Helper® for additional basic mood support and/or Thyroid Helper® for basic metabolic support. You are striving to find a combination of nutrients that helps boost your energy, mood, and sense of feeling in control.

Depending on how well you manage day to day demands and keep your energy up will tell you exactly how well you are doing. Because birth is an intense substance P event, your system can be on the edge of a substance P flare up for months. This doesn't mean you will have a problem, but it does mean to pay attention. Normally, basic energy support and stress support nutrition will keep you on top of things. If you start to feel anxious, afraid, have trouble sleeping, or feel wound up inside then take extra steps to knock down substance P as explained above. Sometimes this type of extra support is needed when it comes time for you to quit nursing or if life becomes bumpy for some reason. Use extra nutritional support, as needed, until you are finished nursing, your menstrual cycle is again running, and you feel you have fully recovered from any wear and tear associated with pregnancy.
