Prenatal Dietary Concerns

safe ORS

Yes, as long as it is prescribed by a Naturopath or Herbalist. It can be fantastic for persistent nausea, obstetric cholestastis, and people with existing liver or gall bladder complaints. Dose is very important in pregnancy, and usually less is more - you don't want to push the liver into 'detox-mode' when you are pregnant.

From what I've read, it's pretty normal. Your body is in overdrive at this point and you have more of everything. It's very annoying and I have found I tend to 'over salivate' at very inconvenient moments. I mostly notice it when I am bending or looking down. (thanks, gravity!) Luckily, I have a husband who just laughs it off, even when I can't. I hope that knowing you're not alone makes you feel better even though I have no suggestions as to how to make it better.

Yes; a friend of mine once told me while she was pregnant, "Being pregnant isn't as fun as it seems. You leak everywhere from your body. I even drool on myself."

i lov shrimp. i think it makes boobs grow. only if your in your growburg though. i went from a-36 to b-34.

Yes, since alcohol can affect the sperm's condition. It could lower the sperm count. Maybe your partner should have himself checked by a urologist.

Furthermore, combined with the man's drinking habits there is an extreme risk of catastrophic birth defects, mental retardation, or straight miscarriage that can badly damage the woman's system, which might prevent any future reproduction ability.

I am almost 6 weeks pregnant. I've been vomiting about 3 times a day for the last 5 days. I just took an Ester C vitamin (1000mL), it's a big vitamin C tablet. I bought it at CVS. I felt much better after an hour.

Vitamin C isn't for everyone, that is, too much isn't safe for the baby.

From what I am seeing on the internet you can have morning sickness as soon as 1 week after conception and there after, it can happen in the morning, afternoon or evening. There are several sites out there that can give you more info as well as ways to help curb it. I would suggest you do a search on the internet if you do not get any responses.

You can get sick from the day of conception to 1-3 week after conception, every woman is different, some women don't even experience morning sickness at all

It varies, some women never get it while others will get it throughout their whole pregnancy. I didn't get morning sickness until I was 3 months along and from then to 8 months. I hated the smell of meat cooking and also when my fiance sprayed aftershave. :P

For me it was morning, noon and night for the first 3 months. I think the term, morning sickness is because the most women tend to have it in the morning but from personal experience I can tell you it is not exclusive to morning. I would say to discuss it with your doctor. He or she would know more about it. Good luck getting through that one. It is no fun to be puking like we do when we are pregnant. I was so glad when that part was past and the rest of the pregnancy was a piece of cake.

Usually within a couple of weeks or more. But all women are different. Some never get it. Some only get it for a few weeks when they are a couple of months pregnant.

My mom knew she was pregnant with me within the first 5 days because she was throwing up like crazy. So I suspect it's vastly different for everyone.

Only about 30% of women get morning nausea, not every one vomits.

I got evening nausea with my first and nothing with my second, my sister-in-law was nauseous and vomiting all day with both her pregnancies.

Some people start to feel morning sickness within a few days, and some never get morning sickness. Regardless, it usually disappears by the 4th or 5th month. If you're nauseous in the morning and have at least 1 other symptom like soreness of the breasts or a late period, I would take a home pregnancy test ASAP.

Everyone is different. I only started my morning sickness at week 7,until the 14- 15 week.

That all really depends but it only took a month for it to hit me. Some women are lucky and don't get it.

I started to experience morning sickness about 3 or 4 weeks after conception. It wasn't in the morning though. It usually happens if my stomach is going on empty I get queasy. I just have to make sure I eat a little something, often:)

As early as two weeks after conception.

Many women don't get any morning sickness but if you do it usually starts around the time of a missed period.

In my first pregnancy I would have nausea (no sickness) in the evenings, and in my second I had none at all (and it was twins).

Around six weeks the average. However everyone is different! Some can start few days after conception some will never have it!

Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain.

Some women who are extremely sensitive to the pregnancy hormones can feel queasy from around the time of the first missed period or a few days before. Between five to seven weeks is a common time to start feeling ill. Not everyone does, however, so if it hasn't begun by around eight to ten weeks, it may not be a problem at all.

When You are pregnant it doesn't necessarily have to be in the morning.

I was supposed to get my period 2 days ago. I haven't yet. I am also experiencing morning sickness, hunger, breast are a little tender and head aches. I have even had what seems to be period cramps. My period is never late and the cramps usually indicate it is starting. I went to my doctor yesterday. The urine test was negative so I then went to the hospital to have a blood test. I haven't gotten the results but my doctor explained that it may not say I am because some women actually have to be 1 1/2 to 2 months pregnant before a blood test will even show it. I am to repeat the blood test for the next three weeks if they come back negative because my doctor says it is highly unlikely that I am faking or my mind is tricking me into morning sickness. I would say I am pregnant and so are you.

The term morning sickness is actually kind of confusing for people because you can get morning sickness at any time during the day or evening. Some people have sickness for just a couple months, but some last for the entire pregnancy. It varies from person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy.

Around 2-4 weeks after conception but sometimes longer. Not every women has morning sickness.

yes it is

The laws vary from state to state. Many states don't have an emancipation statute. And most require the child to be at least 16 years of age.

Yes.

It is a good idea to avoid alcoholic drinks while pregnant. Alcohol can affect the development of the brain of the fetus, and in extreme cases (if you drink a lot) it produces a serious condition called fetal alcohol syndrome, which will adversely affect your child all of his or her life, creating emotional problems, learning disabilities, and a tendency toward alcoholism.

It is advised to avoid all Bee Products - Honey, Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly - during pregnancy. The effects of Propolis during pregnancy and breast-feeding have not been sufficiently evaluated, but since Propolis is known to be a sensitizing agent, it could cause development of allergies, therefore it is best not to use it during these times unless directed to do so by a physician.

uh yeah.

yes.

No, it will cause your baby to have extremely low intelligence. It won't be genetic by any means.

Yes.

dust and dust only

Your body begins to change almost immediately after the fertilized egg begins to implant itself in the lining. From that point on, your body will be supplying extra nutrients and energy to the ever growing fetus. So from day one you are "eating for two". You won't need to double your food in take, but your body is smart and knows what it needs. You may crave more food as your body longs for what is missing in your normal diet.

== == You need to research any herbs thoroughly while pregnant, their are many that need to be avoided in pregnancy.

I have heard Beetroot and Hummus. Also don't overdo Vitamin A or C.

if i were you then i would think that it wasn't true when my mom was preagnant with me she didn't drink 1 time!!!

You should be couscous when taking herbs and western medicine together. You should always have the advise of a qualified practitioner of TCM or Chinese herbalism before taking this kind of herb. Its powerful stuff. A qualified practitioner will know about any western interactions. I don't know of any interactions with Xiao Yan San, but this doesn't mean that the herbal formula is right for you. Go see a professional. Chinese Herbs can be very effective at treating infertility, but only when they are prescribed correctly.

Not for skipping one meal I think, especially since they need so little but the baby takes what it needs first and then the mothers body takes what is left over. But especially during pregnancy is it important to eat properly.

Yogurt made from pasteurised milk is safe to eat during pregnancy. The bacteria in yogurt is not the same as that in unpasteurised soft cheese, it is similar to that which is normally present in the gut.

Drinking water is always good for you. And especially good when pregnant. Everyone's body needs water and most people don't drink enough.

yes.you dont want to get dehighdrated.
