The science is clear. Breastfeeding boosts immune function; improves gut health; reduces the rates of asthma, allergies, obesity, and diabetes.

Come back later for a more in depth look at why? And how long?

Having an anterior placenta.
Something people don’t talk about enough during pregnancy.

An anterior placenta means the placenta is attached to the front of your uterus, right behind your belly.
It changes a lot about how you experience pregnancy.

For me, it made the first 20 weeks scary.
I couldn’t feel the baby move like everyone said I would.
I worried constantly.
I wondered if everything was okay.

Movement feels different.
Kicks can feel softer, later, or harder to find.
People tell you, “You’ll feel it soon,” but for some of us, it doesn’t come like the books say.

It can affect ultrasounds.
It can make certain positions more comfortable.
It can make you feel like you’re not connecting with your baby as early as you hoped, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

If you have or had an anterior placenta I feel your pain.

If you eat in a restaurant, they have to tell you everything that is in a dish in case there are food allergies that you will react to. I certainly don't want fetal human or cow DNA in my body. Or any of this other stuff. Manufacturers have been getting away with far too much for far too long.

If your panties are in a wad because newborn babies with Hep B negative moms won't be mandated to have a Hep B shot, maybe you need to ask yourself why you are not more critical of the current system.
