Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hi, I am 29 years old and a lacto-ovo vegeterian. I want to start a family in the near future.I would like to know if any of you have any nutritional recommendations that can help me be in good health prior to becoming pregnant. Besides the obvious guidelines given by dotors (taking folic acid, etc) what helps prepare the body for pregnancy. What about during a pregnancy and after? Thanks in advance, cristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hi Cristina, It is going to be really important that you avoid all caffeine. Caffeine stimulates estrogen, that's not a good thing when wanting to get pregnant. So many miscarriages occur around the 6th to 8th week. Alternative doctors have found that the main cause of these miscarriage is that the woman was estrogen dominant, meaning too much estrogen and not enough progesterone. What they have found is the estrogen actually suffocates the fetus, causing a miscarriage. SO SAD... In preparation for your pregnancy, you might want to consider some detoxification so your body is strong and ready to carry that precious baby. I would also suggest you do some major research on the benefits of using natural progesterone prior to your pregnancy. Progesterone gets it's name from Pro Gest, which means progestation , which means *for life*. Progesterone is the main hormone needed for a successful pregnancy. Wishing you the best as you prepare for your wee one. Vickie Queen Advocate For Women's Health > Hi, > I am 29 years old and a lacto-ovo vegeterian.
