My name is Rachel. I am 34. My son Henry is 33 months old. I want to tell you something that nobody told me at any of my postpartum checkups. I want to tell you that the body you are looking at in the mirror 18 months and 24 months and 30 months after your baby is not your fault. It is not the cookies after the baby went to sleep. It is not the extra glass of wine. It is not the workouts you have not been doing because you have a toddler and a 4-year-old and a husband and a job. It is not your willpower. I want to tell you what it actually is, because once I knew, I stopped hating myself in the mirror every morning. When you were pregnant, your body slowed your lymphatic system down on purpose. Lymph is the second circulatory system in the body. It runs alongside the bloodstream and carries the slow daily waste away from the tissue. During pregnancy, the body slows the lymphatic flow down so that more fluid stays in the tissue to support the baby. The softness, the rounder face, the puffy ankles in the third trimester. All of that is the lymph doing exactly what it is supposed to do. After delivery, the body is supposed to switch the system back on. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. For a lot of us, the lymphatic system stays in pregnancy mode for years. The fluid that came in to support the baby does not drain out. The face stays rounder. The waist stays thicker. The thighs stay softer. The wedding ring still does not fit the way it fit at 28. The scale says you have lost the weight. The mirror says you have not. That is because what is left is not fat. It is pregnancy fluid that has nothing to do with calories. I went to my 6-week postpartum visit. The doctor said everything looked great. I went to my 6-month postpartum visit. She said the same thing. I went to my 1-year visit and asked her directly why I still looked 6 months pregnant. She said it was hormones. She said it takes time. She said for some women it takes 2 years. It is now 33 months. That is not 2 years. 3 months ago a friend who had her son a year before mine showed up to a birthday party looking like herself again. Not skinny. Not "snapped back." Like herself. I asked her what she was doing. She told me about a second circulatory system most doctors never mention to postpartum mothers. She told me about 4 herbs older women in some communities have been using for generations to help the body switch the lymphatic system back on after pregnancy. Stillingia root. The old herbalists called it a channel opener. Cleavers. Cleavers sweeps the lymph channels. Prickly Ash bark. It restarts the rhythm the lymphatic system depends on. Red Clover blossom. It calms the inflammation that holds the pregnancy fluid in place. Used together as a sublingual tincture. One or two droppers under the tongue in the morning, held for 30 seconds before swallowing. I called my OB's office before I added anything. The nurse called me back the next day. No concerns at the dosage on the label. The brand is Lymphoria. I started in March. By week 6 my wedding ring fit again. By week 10 my face in the morning looked like my face. By month 4 I had stopped avoiding the mirror. It is not magic. It does not happen overnight. It is the body finally being supported in switching a system back on that has been stuck for 33 months. If you are 8 months or 18 months or 30 months postpartum and the body you see in the mirror still does not look like yours, this is the language I had been waiting to hear since my 6-week visit. https://lymphoria.co/products/natures-sunrise-lymphatic-drainage-supplement P.S. The brand has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Any reason at all. If you tried it and you are not satisfied, they refund you. That is the whole policy. P.P.S. I keep an extra bottle in the cupboard now. So do most of the mothers in my circle who started using it after I told them what was actually going on with our bodies. Postpartum mothers have been carrying this alone for too long. None of this is your fault.
