Lightening is when the uterus drops near the end of the third trimester as baby begins to settle and become engaged in the pelvis! Lots of people think this is a sign of labor, but it can actually happen a few weeks before you go into labor or may happen during labor. 💡🤰🏾

Some people find it easier to breathe after baby drops, but with that relief comes a different type discomfort... needing to p*e more! 🚽

Some people will see their abdomen change shape slightly while others won’t notice it at all. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Did you notice your abdomen change shape when your baby dropped? How many weeks were you when your baby dropped? 👶🏻

THE HEALTHIEST SEEDS AND HOW THEY HELP⁠
⁠
Seeds are the beginning of life for a plant – that’s why they are extremely nutritious and have been shown to guard against many degenerative diseases. They’re a great alternative if you have nut allergies, and actually contain more minerals and protein than most nuts.⁠
⁠
Which should you be eating and why? (Remember to hit SAVE so you can refer back to our handy list):⁠
⁠
🔸Sunflower: Our hair is made from protein, and sunflower seeds are excellent for complete and easily digested protein. They also contain Vitamin E that has been found to increase blood supply to the scalp, resulting in longer hair.⁠
⁠
🔸Pumpkin: With excellent levels of easily absorbed zinc, pumpkin seeds can help to boost fertility in men and women. Zinc performs a critical role in the development of s***m and in the entire reproductive system of women.⁠
⁠
🔸Chia: A rich, natural source of plant Omega-3 fats that have been shown consistently in studies to help heart health, reducing risk of cardiovascular disease.⁠
⁠
🔸Black sesame: These small but mighty seeds contain melanin, the natural pigment that can reverse graying (and also help protect against UV rays). Their powerful antioxidants can help counteract oxidative stress, a major cause of gray hair.⁠⁠
⁠
🔸Flax: High levels of lignans - gentle plant hormones in flax - have been shown to improve symptoms of hormonal imbalance including PMS, breakouts, and hot flashes. Try 1tbsp ground flax daily.⁠
⁠
🔸Hemp: The Omega-6 fat gamma linoleic acid (GLA) in h**p seeds encourages skin cells to regenerate, whilst improving moisture in the skin.⁠
