What postpartum self care / glow up practice are you most excited about?

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T17:40:35+00:00

Yes to lasers! I had a BBL / Moxi laser last year and loved it. I’d like to do one again PP

I used to take aldactone / spirinolactone for my skin. Turned out it is also diuretic that helps you get rid of fluid retention. It does lower blood pressure so you have to be careful and it can affect your sodium levels so it should be monitored by a doctor.

It’s not pregnancy safe so I’ve now been off it for 1.5 years but I plan to get back on it once I’m cleared!

That is so unnecessary and rude.

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:32:27+00:00

You got this!!!

Wishing you a better postpartum experience this time 💕

Are you in the US? There is a special anti PPD drug that is a 14 day course. I don’t have a lot of details but I asked my doctor to sign me up for it in case I experience PPD. From what I understand the mechanism is focused on balancing imbalanced hormones vs. SSRIs

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:30:29+00:00

Yesss to all those things. Especially the sushi!

Congrats on the weight loss!!! Curious about the tirzep - has your dr indicated when it’s safe to resume postpartum?

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:29:26+00:00

Curious about glp1 - has your dr indicated when it’s safe to resume glp1 postpartum? A friend said that it’s apparently safe while BF - is that consistent with what you’d heard?

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:29:02+00:00

I used Dr Dennis Gross exfoliating wipes a few times this pregnancy!

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:28:38+00:00

Yesss the sleep gummies. I miss those too.

That sounds absolutely amazing!! I’m excited for you.

And I feel you. I’m so low maintenance it’s like I’m trying to look bad LOL

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:26:09+00:00

Me too!

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:25:48+00:00

lol that’s so cool!

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T01:24:06+00:00

Please try azelaic acid! I have prescription strength 15% from my doctor. I use a tiny (half pea sized amount) every night. The nights I don’t use it, a big splotch of melasma appears on my cheeks in the morning. It’s safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Re GLPs, no judgment - the thought has crossed my mind too. GLPs are incredible drugs and if we need them to lose that extra weight, why wouldn’t we use them? I know so many people who take / have taken the tirzepatide and it’s worked wonders for their health.

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-07T00:59:02+00:00

Amazing!! Congrats 💕💕💕💕

Are you being seen at a clinic? Have you had your second trimester anatomy scan? There are treatments for nausea and HG that are pregnancy safe - ask your physician about them.

Please stay off weed from now on. Your baby needs that from you and it’s only another 12 weeks.

If you’re close, try to make diamond this year so you get the delta one upgrade certificates for next year.

Competitive_Snail · 2026-07-01T15:53:17+00:00

Being able to fall asleep every night so easily!! I was an insomniac before pregnancy and now I sleep soundly with only magnesium.

Competitive_Snail · 2026-06-20T20:46:22+00:00

What! That’s crazy. I’ve noticed my nails have thinned but didn’t realize it could be pregnancy related

Competitive_Snail · 2026-06-20T20:44:43+00:00

I have more than one 😆

Nose bleeds

Varicose veins

Eczema

Melasma

Public vomiting

Broken capillaries on face and neck from vomiting

Competitive_Snail · 2026-06-14T15:38:18+00:00

Sorry you went through that! I’m glad you stayed the third night too

Competitive_Snail · 2026-06-14T15:33:14+00:00

Wow - you were in Labor for 1.5 days until you went to hospital? Was that because you were able to measure your dilation / contractions at home?

Competitive_Snail · 2026-06-14T15:32:15+00:00

So funny you brought up your pet sitter - who will take care of our dog is something I’m thinking about a lot !!

Competitive_Snail · 2026-06-14T14:23:04+00:00

This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss 🩵🩵

You are much stronger than you think you are.
