Prepare to meet your baby in the most delicious way possible, with our organic The Final Push raspberry leaf tea. A blend of raspberry leaf, that has been used for millennia to prepare the body for labour, and whole peppermint leaf to support digestion. It can be drunk from 32 weeks onwards. The white tea that we use as the base of this blend, means it has c. 90mg per cup. This is lower than a filter coffee which has c. 140mg per cup. But it is higher than a cup of builder's tea (75mg). It is safe to have when pregnant or breastfeeding, as NHS guidelines are that you should limit caffeine to 200mg per day. Just be aware that you shouldn't have more than 2 cups of this tea a day. And also just be aware that chocolate and soft drinks also have some caffeine in them. There's a great caffeine calculator to help you monitor caffeine intake, made by Tommy's The nature of labour and birth is unpredictable, and is such a fluid experience whereby it can take a variety of paths. There are lots of depending factors that may influence this, such as the progress of labour and how your baby copes with the process. If there is expectation there, and this is not fulfilled then there may be disappointment and the feeling of failure – I have seen this so much in my career as a midwife looking after women in the postnatal period. The hypothalamus (the part of your brain responsible for your body’s thermostat) can have funny turns, as oestrogen levels drop. Combined with lower levels oestrogen increasing the stress hormone cortisol, and fight-or-flight adrenaline, it’s no wonder that it impacts on the digestive system.
It can be hard to lose weight in your 40s and 50s due to the change in hormone balance. Diet and exercise are key, but also be kind to yourself - your weight doesn't dictate your worth. It's benefits link to the gingerols in the ginger, and citrals in the lemon-y ingredients that can aid digestion and soothe unsettled tummies Multi-award winning : Morning Rescue won the 2019 UK Baby Awards, Best Maternity Product , and the 2017 Bizzie Baby Awards, Bronze Award . Deliciously soothing herbs and flowers - whole chamomile flowers, lavender, valerian root, lime flowers, rooibos and corn flowers This is due to levels of estrogen and progesterone that regulate the menstrual cycle fluctuating like mad. It can even mean that you can have a menstural cylce with no period.Women disproportionately suffer with insomnia and this only gets worse during menopause. Don't have caffeinated drinks after lunch time, try to do gentle exercise daily and consider a strong bedtime routing - we like to include our sleepy Night Owl herbal tea. It’s estimated that a quarter of women in their forties and 15% of women aged 50 or older suffer from problem skin. So just like during puberty, hormonal fluctuations are mainly to blame. Lower levels of progesterone can lead to gastrointestinal problems like bloating, heartburn and indigestion to name a few – all of which can cause a feeling of nausea. The other things that are worth thinking ahead about are if you would like skin to skin, who you would like to cut the cord, how you would like your third stage managed (the delivery of your placenta), if you would like baby to receive vitamin K, and of course how you would like to feed your baby. This list is not exhaustive – it is worth noting anything at all that you think will help you and that will enhance your experience and leave you feeling calm and in control. of women suffer increased anxiety during menopause and it can be debilitating - don't think it's just your mental health though, HRT can help.
Sometimes called 'meno-rage', mood swings can be a huge part of menopause. It can lead to women feeling a huge amount of guilt, but it is driven by our hormones - like being a teenager in reverse. For most women, the changes to oestrogen and progesterone levels, ovulation coming and going, and egg quality deteriorating, fertility drops by 50% in women aged 40 and over compared to non-perimenopausal women Looking at diet and lifestyle - exercising early in the day to try to boost energy, heading to bed earlier, and making sure you have lots of B vitamins in your diet can all try to help.
Our Menopause tea range
Following on from the above, menopausal changes to our bodies can lead to a low mood. Researchers have also found that women entering the menopause can be more prone to seeing increases in levels of a brain protein — Monoamine Oxidase A — which is linked to depression. A burning mouth is a lesser known but awful side effect of menopause. Avoid spicy food and try to get creamy, cooling foods and drinks to help. It’ll have you revitalised, refreshed and ready to get up and glow whether you’re pregnant, or a hard working mum. Again this can be linked to hormonal changes. Breasts go through a process called ‘involution’ when milk glands shut down and this tissue is replaced by fat
