Busting the Stigma Around an Embarrassing Problem
As a pregnant mother, I’ve learned just how complex our bodies are. They can do incredible things, like grow a placenta to carry a baby, move around organs to create space for a fetus, heal themselves and also tell us when something isn’t quite right. When our bodies are trying to send us a message, it can be uncomfortable, but these symptoms are nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, being pregnant, I have learned to place my dignity to one side as I try to figure out what my body is telling me.
A change in bodily functions can happen to everyone. Instead of hiding behind them, let’s open up the conversation to learn why our bodies do the things they do and what we can do to deal with them, so we can get back to live our normal lives.
Here are three very common bodily issues we might face. Here is how to deal with them: Busting the Stigma Around an Embarrassing Problem
Constipation
Constipation is uncomfortable, but it happens to the best of us. Stress, dehydration and lack of exercise are just a few of the many causes. Making simple changes in your daily routine can help prevent constipation. Try setting an alarm to remind you to drink water or take a few minutes each day to de-stress and exercise (go for a short walk to clear your mind or dance around your kitchen like no one is watching!). If you experience occasional constipation, a laxative may be a good option for you. RestoraLAX is an effective option that works with water to hydrate and soften stools and helps to restore your body’s natural rhythm, with no taste or grit! Add it to hot, cold, or room temperature everyday beverage and you’ll be moving again in no time. Visit their website today for a trial offer.

Yeast Infections
Yeast infections are another very common body ailment. 75 per cent of women will experience it at least once in their lives. There are a few things we can do to help prevent a yeast infection, including changing underwear after working out, avoiding tight clothing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you do have a yeast infection, there are options for treatment, and your infection can be dealt with a convenient, 1 dose treatment!!

The Combi-Pak format includes an external cream for fast relief of external itching and burning.

Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) may sound alarming, but it’s another vaginal infection that is treatable and very common. In fact, BV is the most common cause of vaginal infections in women of childbearing age. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about ladies! BV is a bacterial infection that happens when there is an imbalance of your pH, which can promote the growth of ‘bad’ bacteria. Treating BV symptoms is easy with CanesBalance®. The triple benefit gel formula comes in hygienic squeeze tubes for easy application and restores normal vaginal pH, while relieving uncomfortable symptoms such as unusual odour and discharge.

It’s important to listen to our bodies, learn about the symptoms we’re experiencing and understand how to treat them. Especially while pregnant. I find it helpful talking to my close friends, midwife and of course, my sister about these things. Most of the time, they’re able to share helpful tips for treatment, so I can get back to being the best version of myself!
