It’s difficult to choose my favourite symptom of this condition – the irregular periods, fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, weight fluctuations or the irony that you would have thinning hair on your head but excess hair growth in areas you don’t want (think of a bald-headed werewolf). 😒
Yes, my name is Yashi and I have PCOS.
Three days ago, on March 8th, we celebrated women all over the world for International Women’s Day. It really got me thinking of all the women in my life and the women who have impacted me (whether they realise it or not) and I have got to say, I am so proud of them all.
Baby girl (BG) falls asleep during a nursing session.
I take her up and put her in the crib as though I am handling a bomb.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are..
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky..
Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

It’s 6:00am. You just finished breastfeeding your baby and you keep her in the bed with you because honestly, you like the cuddles.
She plays a little then falls asleep.
You look at the little angel with love, feeling so blessed then…
Wham! You get a tiny Chuck Norris punch to the face! 🤕

My husband helps when he can but as a mom, you cannot help but wish that he would get to experience some of the not-so-peachy moments of parenthood.
And boy did he get an experience this week! 😆 Listen to him relate the story!
Thus far, my breastfeeding journey has been filled with many mishaps and learning experiences (sometimes embarrassing ones, really embarrassing ones) along the way but also many real moments of love and empowerment.
Because I understand how draining life’s challenges can be, I tend to refrain from sharing my difficulties with others. I prefer to allow persons to share their burdens with me so that I could help them in some way, however small, to lighten their burdens, even if it is just for a minute.
I am saying this because on the outside, people might think that my husband and I have the perfect relationship, but we really don’t. We have been through some things that have really tested our couple metal. There is so much I could share about our journey and the lessons we learned (and I will in future posts) but here is just a little snippet of our love story.
It sounds so simple yet it was one of the most difficult things for me to do all my life. I would say it took almost all my 32 years of life before I truly believed in myself. Also, it took some of the most challenging times of my life to get me there.
