Thread: Holistic Health

Hello everyone! My name is Hannah. I'm a holistic health coach based out of Mobile, AL with a focus on all aspects of pregnancy from pre-conception to a new addition to the family. I'd love to hear about some of your greatest concerns surrounding bringing a new life into the world, especially (but not limited to!) if the questions have to do with your or your baby's nutrition! I look forward to hearing from you and hope to be of service!

I'm trying to lose some baby weight, and I exercise and eat right (also I am no longer nursing). Are there any holistic teas or foods of methods I can try? Thanks

I can't take the prenatal vitamins because they make me too sick. I just eat gummy vites. I have heard when you take vitamins you should not take iron in with them cuz they make you sick, yet i think a prenatal includes iron? Especially with morning sickness sensitivity this does not make sense to me. Is there some way to break it all up or take a couple different things so you still get all the benefits without the queasiness?

The prenatal vitamins made me sick too, I was advised to take them at night (right before your go to be), this way you sleep through the nausea, but you are still getting all the good stuff your body needs.

Except when baby wakes you up every 2-3 hours (yeah i know his sleep schedule is so bad, we have been moving a lot and he's been sick so it is just terrible. Waiting for the day when I have his crib set up and I can concentrate on getting him into a good routine)

Tho i could try this out anyways and see what happens.

OMG, you are like in a really DIFFICULT situation. So you have a 6 month old and have a baby on the way...sheesh! How far along are you? When are you due?
