The Realities of Being A Mom That No One Talks About

When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I was immediately filled with excitement and happiness. I had visions of a sweet little baby sleeping on my chest and long, relaxing stroller walks to lunch. At the time, I didn’t worry about being exhausted or any of the other stresses that come with parenting.

Fast-forward two and a half more years, and I welcomed my second beautiful daughter into this world. If I thought I was sleep-deprived and exhausted with just one child, I had a wakeup call: my energy was completely zapped when my second child came along.

I didn’t feel like my normal, energetic, pre-baby self anymore; I even felt like I was losing my sense of self. It upset me that I couldn’t give my girls my “all” because I was constantly exhausted. I wanted to have the energy to take my toddler to the park and chase after her. I also needed the energy to endure those all-nighters breastfeeding my newborn. Not to mention, I wanted to get back into the fitness routine I had before my girls were born. Every time I tried to work out, I felt sluggish and weak.

Even when I did get the random good night of sleep, I didn’t feel any better. So I started researching why I was feeling so low-energy.

I was so thankful when I discovered Floradix Iron + Herbs and made it a part of my regular routine. Floradix is a natural liquid iron supplement that helps fight iron deficiency by promoting the formation of healthy red blood cells. It’s formulated for easy absorption and assimilation and is gentle on the digestive tract. I only choose supplements that are non-GMO and free of alcohol, artificial additives and synthetic preservatives, so this one was perfect for me. And I love that it’s packaged in an environmentally friendly glass bottle. Flora Health launched a new version called Ferritin+, and it is now available for purchase.
