@s2208 @Nils women are constantly dehydrated to a comical degree and constantly getting headaches because they cannot assume their body produces some symptom (the headache) from a cause (being dehydrated)

if they cannot keep their basic blood chemistry from causing them pain, they cannot keep more complex systems from going off the rail

and the problem is that the culture has a bunch of terrible heuristics that lie about this - and the solution is to deal with that

and again, some of these problems are just chemicals which can be measured and fixed for dollars - some of these are managed expectations - some are just going back to the past of extended family supporting new mothers - etc.
