So, I know my midwife!

Any one suffer with consistent headaches / eye twitching etc about 3 weeks post partum? They’ve been going on almost 2 weeks. Been checked for blood pressure/clots and ok.

I like to make muffins and pancakes for the family but any recipes I've followed usually have sugar. I've tried honey but wondered if there were any other alternatives?
