Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 It has been 23 years since I gave birth to my last child but I will be happy to share what worked for me. After having horrible morning sickness with my 1st child I was determined to find something that would help or prevent it with my 2nd pregnancy. Back then Adele Davis published a book called, “Let’s Eat Right For Healthy Children.” In the book she recommended taking a good balanced Vitamin B complex. I purchased a B 100 complex. It worked for me I had no problems with my 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pregnancy. Vitamin B is water-soluble which means that it is not stored in your body. It would be difficult to overdose on it.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Peggy and all other expecting moms! I just got this from a midwife newsletter I to. My midwife recommended Alfalfa to me, especially as an alternative to Vitamin K shots at birth. Excerpted from "The Amazing Alfalfa," by Lisa Goldstein, CPM, CNM; in Birth Wisdom: Tricks of the Trade Vol III (a Midwifery Today book) Herbs and Natural Remedies Many of pregnancy's discomforts are alleviated by the use of alfalfa tablets, including morning sickness, heartburn, constipation and anemia. Alfalfa tablets raise the vitamin K level of pregnant women, reducing postpartum bleeding in both quantity and duration, and they increase the vitamin K stores in newborns, reducing bleeding problems for them as well. They support success in lactation because they help increase and sustain milk supply. They frequently help alleviate nausea, almost always relieve constipation, and they bring up red blood counts in a beneficial way. They also seem to help reduce swelling and improve erratic blood sugar levels. Because alfalfa tablets are very high in vitamin K, they could be dangerous to take for anyone who needs to be on blood thinners such as Heparin. Their use should be stopped temporarily if one gets a urinary tract infection and cut back, at least temporarily, if one gets diarrhea. People who have very poor bowel flora may have temporary bouts of gas the first week or so when they start taking them, so they should start at a more gradual pace. I have postpartum moms take a few right after the birth to help with blood loss and bowel movements, then not take any more until the fourth or fifth postpartum day, gradually building back up to about four to eight a day depending on diet and need. They can use oat bran tablets if they need to for bowel function in the meantime. The reason for this course is twofold: the degree to which alfalfa promotes lactation can be too much for comfort until engorgement subsides, and newborn jaundice takes longer to go away if the mom is taking alfalfa tablets. http://www.shaklee.net/accesshealth/product/Alfalfa Also, try stomach smoothing complex. Herbal Relief for an Upset Stomach* If your travel plans include driving or flying somewhere, then plan ahead if you get motion sickness. Using a blend of herbs that for centuries have calmed upset stomachs, Stomach Soothing Complex eases motion sickness and its accompanying queasiness and nausea. It makes the "not quite right" stomach calm again.* http://www.shaklee.net/accesshealth/product/20601 Stacey Hardman Access Health 336-454-2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Peggy: Red Raspberry leaf tea does work too, but not to much. More then a cup can lead to cramping. This is good right before labor to accelerate labor. Also good after labor to contract stomach muscle and recover faster. Sincerely, Stacey Hardman Access Health 336-454-2001 P.S.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi Peggy, When I had my only child 9 years ago, I tried everything - Ginger, Raspberry Tea, Spirulina, you name it. Here's what I found that REALLY worked and worked consistently, 24/7 - Sea sickness wrist bands! You can buy them at any pharmacy for about $8. The little plastic knob on them rests on an accupressure point that for me, eliminated ALL morning sickless symptoms - viola! Hope you're feeling better soon!
