Pregnancy After Miscarriage (Part 7)
(This blog does have links that I am affiliated with)
Pregnancy update, I am now 29 weeks pregnant(Hello Third Trimester!!!) and this precious little boy is moving alot! I treasure each movement.
 I have talked quite abit about my emotional journey processing through this pregnancy. Now I want to discuss some of what I am doing to support myself physically during this pregnancy.

This is my 7th pregnancy and I have learned alot through previous pregnancies and via research what I should and should not do. Along with wanting to be cautious and not push my body too far because of my miscarriage, I also know that there are many things I can do to support myself. 

Learning to read your body is very important even outside of pregnancy. During pregnancy, protein is very important. For me when I am pregnant protein is highly important first thing in the morning. If I don't have it with breakfast, it can knock my entire day off. Protein gives me a nice solid start to my day with good nutrition. Finding clean sources of protein can be difficult. For me chicken, eggs, plant based protein drinks/shakes, clean protein bars, peanut butter, tuna fish sandwiches, black bean burgers, lentil soup, etc. are good sources of protein.  Note that I do eat beef, but it is not my go to.

Hydration is very important especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I have found, that having a gallon of water in the fridge ready for me to drink every day is helpful for keeping me hydrated. I refill my glass all day from that gallon and do not have to calculate water all day. I know how much I drink based on how much of the gallon is empty. I work to drink the entire gallon every day. I like this water bottle and have been using is regularly, find it HERE. 

Keeping my gut balanced is also something that is very key to keep heart burn in check and digestion flowing properly. Things I do for this, fibrous foods (i.e. salad greens, broccoli and other green veggies, heavy grain bread, etc.). Enzymes, such as Allerzyme (find it HERE), Papaya Enzymes (find it HERE), Stomach Comfort (find it HERE). Probiotics that I have found to work really well, Life 9 (find it HERE), Probiotic prunes (find it HERE), and Keifer which you can find at most grocery stores. Fermented foods such as, Saurkraut, Kombucha, Kevita, etc, can be found at grocery stores and made at home. I like to use baking soda on my toothbrush(over my toothpaste) to balance the pH of my mouth and stomach and support my teeth. I have found drinking drinking lemon water every morning to support digestion and liver function is very helpful to balancing gut pH (or I take lemon vitality essential oil in a capsule, find it HERE).

I will discuss what I use for supplements in my next update!

Mom Life!

 

Here we go again..... this was my feeling with the extreme emotions and deep feeling reactions my 2nd youngest went through daily. 

I started to monitor when they happened and noticed she would sometimes get a red rash around her mouth as well.....I knew something was off.

This led to extra monitoring, documentation, etc....and realizing that she reacted every time we had a wheat heavy meal. So we started to eliminate a large portion of wheat/ gluten heavy meals from our diet. Her extreme emotional reactions began to calm and her rash would appear less. 

We made a doctor appointment and he said the best thing to do was to change our diet. 

Let me tell you, there is nothing like confirmation for what you were pretty sure was wrong and have been monitoring. Especially when as a mom, I know that I know my child the best. 

Do you listen to your intuition? Your gut? Or as I like to call it in my case, mommy gut? 

I have come to see this as one of God's gifts to us. The ability to sense when something is off, to feel the Holy Spirit leading us, to have the deep feeling that you know something is bothering your little ones and there is something that can help them you just have to search it out and pray to figure it out.....

I have done this on many occasions for my little ones. And there has been some fun and strange situations. But through it all, through observation, mommy gut, evidence based documentation, and throw a couple doctor visits in there too, God has lead me to many solutions for my family. 

The process is not always the same and each solution has been different, but that amazing God given and God lead instinct, mommy gut, is an amazing tool that has helped me to resolve some interesting situations in my family.
