Pregnancy / Childbirth
|
Realize that NOTHING will affect your unborn baby more than what you eat. It is much more important to eat properly than it is to have all the medical help in the world available. If you supply adequate nutrients, nature will reward you with a healthy, beautiful baby. Women on poor diets have a higher incidence of difficult labors, premature babies, infections, hemorrhages, nursing problems and problems during pregnancy. There are books available to help you do this. One is HERBS, HELP, AND PRESSURE POINTS FOR PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH. It is available in the book section. The following supplements have been found to result in healthier babies and moms. Some of them are for specific problems.
