Your body changes with every pregnancy.

Yes, it can. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, sleep disruption, and the stress of early motherhood can all affect hormone balance. For some women, hormones naturally rebalance. For others, shifts in estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid function can continue to affect how they feel months or even years after having children.

Yes. Thyroid changes are common during and after pregnancy and can contribute to fatigue, weight challenges, and hormone symptoms. We explain how the thyroid works, help you understand results you already have, and help you know what to ask your provider. Diagnosis and treatment always stay with your physician, OB, or midwife.

Yes. Many pregnant women want more support with energy, nutrition, and preparing to breastfeed. We help you understand your prenatal labs, build a plan for nutrition and sleep, and prepare for feeding your baby. Everything is shared with your OB or midwife, who remains in charge of your prenatal care.

It can help you understand factors that may have contributed to low supply in the past and prepare for your next baby. Thyroid function, iron status, insulin resistance, and overall depletion can all play a role. As an IBCLC, Hillary can walk you through what your feeding history (and any labs you already have) suggest and how to set yourself up for a stronger start. No one can guarantee a full supply, but going in prepared makes a real difference. 

Yes. Bloating, digestive discomfort, and gut changes are common after pregnancy, antibiotics, or long stretches of stress and poor sleep. We help you understand what may be contributing and build nutrition, sleep, and stress habits that support your gut. If your symptoms need a medical workup, we’ll help you get to the right provider.

Many women notice that weight loss feels much harder after pregnancy, even when they are exercising and eating well. Hormone shifts, insulin resistance, thyroid function, metabolic changes, and sleep disruption and stress can all contribute. Our goal is to understand which of these factors are in play for you so your plan is realistic and sustainable.

No. Our team are registered nurses. We don’t prescribe medication, order labs, diagnose, or provide medical weight loss. If you’re interested in medication, talk with your physician. We can support you with nutrition, protein, strength, and lifestyle alongside the care you get from your doctor.

Hormone symptoms can look different for everyone, but common signs include fatigue, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, mood changes, irregular menstrual cycles, sleep disturbances, low libido, and brain fog. A wellness consult can help you sort out what may be contributing and what to bring up with your doctor.

Baby Settler Wellness doesn’t replace your physician, OB, or midwife. We stay within the scope of registered nursing: education, coaching, and wellness planning. We don’t diagnose, treat, prescribe, or order labs. If anything you share suggests you need medical care, we’ll tell you clearly and help you get to the right provider. Many clients bring their wellness plan to their doctor, which makes those appointments far more productive.

Baby Settler Wellness is for women at any stage of motherhood: pregnant, recently postpartum, planning another pregnancy, or done having babies and ready to focus on their own long-term health. Most clients are dealing with some combination of fatigue, hormone symptoms, gut issues, weight challenges, or feeling like their body never fully recovered.

Baby Settler Wellness is a private-pay wellness service. This allows us to spend more time with each client and offer education and wellness planning that isn’t always available through traditional insurance models. Some clients are able to use HSA or FSA funds, depending on their plan. Supplements are purchased separately through our Fullscript dispensary.
