Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi Sarah, You've already had 2 children so your uterus can carry a pregnancy, but obviously it isn't easy, so I would personally think that if it were me, after visiting with the docs and getting an inclusive diagnosis and prognosis, I'd be best to look into herbs that generally strengthen that whole system and those body parts. It sounds like an issue a friend of mine had, which was some hormonal imbalances that were taken care of naturally for her .... Talking to a more holistic doc might be helpful too! In the group's links sections we have listings of various kinds of " naturally minded " professionals: http://health./links Look in the " Alternative Health Links " folder .... in many cases, even the docs that don't take insurance can be billed as out of network physicians and a portion of their expenses can be covered (my home birth by a direct entry midwife was covered at 70%!) and I have found they are well worth it! My herbology school book is STILL packed up from the Hurricane Rita evacuation attempt (I know, lame! .. but I distinctly recall my teacher always talking about False Unicorn Root (Chamaelirium luteum) being so VERY fortifying for the reproductive system and good for fertility (both female and male). Red Raspberry Leaf is also known for its very beneficial assistance to the reproductive system before and during pregnancy, but some do caution to not use it during the first trimester, so if there were truly doubt and worried, I'd probably stick to using it before getting pg and then after week 12 just to be safe. But when one does use it, it can be drunk in copious quantities according to my teacher (3 cups a day or more). Good luck and have fun making more babies! <grinz> *Smile* Chris (list mom) Think left and think right and think low and think high.

I had my 1st son at 17 and now my 2nd after being married for 8 years and trying to have a baby for 7 of them just had another baby. The Drs are still not 100% sure why I miscarry within the first 3 weeks. But we do want another one. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice since all this pergo talk? -sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi all, I have recently become pregnant which I'm thrilled about. But at age 42 I am needing to be extra careful. I have worked with pregnant women a fair amount and have picked up some good nuggets of information. But I thought it would be smart to post on here and see if anyone has their own clinical pearls to share regarding pregnancy and delivery. So, I'm not really asking anything specific but thought I'd see about benefiting from the vast experience on this board. Without Chinese herbs for me and my husband (who had poor morphology) I am certain that I never would have conceived. Thanks for any ideas!
