Pregnancy Aids - Morning Sickness, Heartburn & More Also Natural and a great Recipe Ginger Tea :)
I buy ginger root from the health food store or you can get it from your local grocery store.
To determine the freshness by breaking off a piece. The skin should be tight and when you break a piece,
it should snap off. Do not purchase if its weak,and soft and doesn’t have a crisp, clean break, its old and should not be eaten.
Wash and Peel the ginger
Break or cut off a piece about the size of your thumb and slice it thin , or Grate it in.
To make ginger tea:
1 – Put the ginger slices in a pot of water and turn up the heat until it boils. As soon as it boils, take it off
the heat and let it cool for 5 – 10 minutes. Add Ice if you prefer Ice Tea!! :)
I love to add some fresh Lemon or Lime Juice and some Stevia in the Raw as a natural sweetener, I even add fresh Mint the mint helps too !! :) But make it according to your favorite tastes or your babies lol if you are consuming this for morning sickness :)
So lets start with diet:
may help relieve morning sickness:
Eat frequent smaller meals, so that you are never too hungry or too full at one time
Avoid fatty or fried foods
Keep crackers, bread or toast, cereal, or other bland foods
handy. *Try eating a few crackers before getting out of bed in the
morning.
Identify any triggers and avoid them
Make sure you are drinking enough fluids, especially if you
have been vomiting. Try drinking in between meals rather than with
meals, which some women find helpful.
Ive found things with allot of natural water in them, like Watermelon, Cucumbers , grapes so forth :)
Acupuncture has been shown to help gals out as well :)

Another great thing to try I hear are : http://www.sea-band.com/
Sea-Bands will benefit persons suffering with nausea and vomiting associated with:
- Motion
- Pregnancy
- Chemotherapy
- Post Operative
and they Are Latex Free!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another Great Approach that I can definelty vouch for with a few of my pregnancies is VITAMIN B-12~
Check with your healthcare provider beforehand. She or He can tell you how
much to take and whether or not the amount in your prenatal vitamin
should count as one of the doses. (The amount of vitamin B6 in prenatal
supplements varies.)
However, the dose commonly recommended for easing nausea and vomiting is
much higher – 10 to 25 mg, three times a day. To reach this amount,
you'll need to take B6 supplements
Don't take more B6 than your caregiver
recommends. Too much can cause numbness and nerve damage for you and may
not be safe for your developing baby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peppermint Essential Oil FOR DIFFUSE ONLY~ - DO NOT APPLY PEPPERMINT OIL TO YOURSELF WHILE PREGNANT !
The aroma of peppermint can help a queasy stomach. Fill a large bowl
with hot water. Place two drops of peppermint essential oil in the bowl
and place it on a table near your bed. Make sure it is in a safe area so
there is no risk of it being knocked over. Or use an aromatherapy
diffuser, Like I have I WAS A Young Living Distributor and I always diffused my Peppermint oil .

Calcium & Magnesium:
A Matter of Balance
You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium)
interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you
feel your pulse, and every time you breathe. When we are under stress,
our cells—which in their resting state contain magnesium—go through a
change. Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the
calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle
cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium
then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its
resting, relaxed state. Think of it as an on-off switch. The “off” is
magnesium and the “on” is calcium.
But what happens to a cell that is not in balance—where the magnesium
level in the body is deficient? In simple terms, the “off” switch
doesn’t fully turn off. That means calcium can continuously leak into
the cells and stimulate cell activity (the “on” switch). The result is
stress accompanied by one or more of the magnesium deficiency symptoms.
Magnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps
your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also
assists in keeping your bones strong. This essential mineral helps
regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is
required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many
researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as
magnesium. Magnesium is necessary for more than 300 known body
functions. |
