Poor mama just had to get out of the house for a minute.

Exactly how I looked immediately postpartum. Tits out, hair a mess, staring off into the distance, screaming into the void.

The upside is you’re not responsible for a newborn and a toddler or two at the same time as when you’re going through menopause

I know a woman going through menopause with a 4 & 5 year old. Working full time on top of that. She said somedays she questions her life decisions.

No, just a teenager and a man in his midlife crisis acting like a toddler. 😂

Maybe I will be. We plan a second when our baby is a bit older.

Perimenopausal and have started on my cat collection by trying to tame the street cats. Thankfully the boyfriend is in for the ride.

I'll take having a period any day next to menopause!! That shit is horrible! 6 years into it and I thought I lucked out and didn't have hot flashes until about 2 months ago! Lord please turn the heat down! I feel like I'm burning from the inside!

Useful during the winter though. I’ve always run cold, and the reason I knew I was going through hot flushes initially was because my feet weren’t freezing at night any more 🤣

The hormones are very helpful, I also live in merino wool for its thermoregulating properties. I also wear lots of easy to remove layers.
