Pregnancy Remedies
"The following are complaints that may occur during pregnancy:
* Back pain. A particularly common complaint in the third trimester when the patient's center of gravity has shifted. * Constipation. A complaint that is caused by decreased bowel motility secondary to elevated progesterone (normal in pregnancy), which can lead to greater absorption of water. * Braxton Hicks contractions. Occasional, irregular, painless contractions that occur several times per day. * Edema. Common complaint in advancing pregnancy. Caused by compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and pelvic veins by the uterus leads to increased hydrostatic pressure in lower extremities. * Regurgitation, heartburn and nausea. Common complaints that may be caused by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD); this is determined by relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and increased transit time in the stomach (normal in pregnancy). About 1% of pregnant women will suffer from excessive vomiting in pregnancy called hyperemesis gravidarum, in which the lack of foods, fluids and nutrients can be harmful to the baby. * Haemorrhoids. Complaint that is often noted in advancing pregnancy. Caused by increased venous stasis and IVC compression leading to congestion in venous system along with increased abdominal pressure secondary to the pregnant space-occupying uterus and constipation. * Pelvic girdle pain. A common complaint is pain, instability or dysfunction of the symphysis pubis and/or sacroiliac joints resulting from either excess strain or injury (such as Diastasis symphysis pubis) during the course of the pregnancy or birthing process. * Increased urinary frequency. A common complaint referred by the gravida that is caused by increased intravascular volume, elevated GFR (glomerular filtration rate), and compression of the bladder by the expanding uterus. * Varicose veins. Common complaint caused by relaxation of the venous smooth muscle and increased intravascular pressure." (Wikipedia)
TED'S REMEDIES
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "In this day and age with free heavy metals, a mineral that is needed the most in my experience during term pregnancy that is ignored is the magnesium. Although some others certainly helped, such as B complex, vitamin C and quite important is the alkalization in maintaining pH between 6.5 - 7.0.
The one single most important supplementation during this period appears to be the vitamin D and manganese. Manganese seems to be quite low during post pregnancy and may be one major cause of hair loss too. The vitamin D needed by mothers I think is at at least 2000 i.u. to 2500 i.u. per day. The preferred vitamin D is D3 or D4. Even if they are not available a D2 may do. Still magnesium is needed during this period too."

[YEA] 09/12/2007: Karen from Birmingham, Michigan writes: "ALMONDS: I had been taking aciphex for my acid reflux for over a year. After trying to lose weight with no success, I discovered over the internet that some people have a weight problem with aciphex. I stopped using it and decided to try a natural remedy that I used when I was pregnant and it works! It's real simple: plain almonds. I eat about 5 with breakfast and then eat a few each time I eat and I haven't felt my reflux. This was a remedy that a nurse told me about many years ago when I was pregnant with my first child, 1981. I'm so glad I remembered it. Just to let you know, I am a drinker of chlorinated tap water; (read below) but somehow that remedy makes sense, too. Oh, and by the way, I began to lose weight after stopping the aciphex!"

[NAY] 03/01/2009: Katie from Springfield, OH writes: "I am 7 months pregnant and have had severe sinus problems the entire time. Nothing OTC works for me including Benadryl or Tylenol Sinus. I've tried the Vick's Vaporizor and nothing. Afrin gives some relief but I think I've become immune to it. I've been using it for months and at increasing intervals throughout the day. So after reading all these positive comments about drinking the ACV with water, I thought I'd try it. I mixed about 2 tablespoons of ACV with 8 ounces of warm water and drank it. It tasted a little like lemon tea with no sweetener so I didn't find the taste to be terribly off-putting; however it's been about 2 hours and NO difference at all in my sinuses. I may try it again and see if it does anything with repeated use, but so far, I am not getting any effect at all from this remedy."
03/03/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn. replies: "Hello Katie, Your remedy may be causing the problem. Afrin should not be used more than 3 days continuously because you get a rebound swelling that is worse than when you started it. Leave off that Afrin and use plenty of normal saline flushing to open up the nose & sinuses."

[YEA] 02/06/2008: Sarah from Columbus, Ohio writes: "I am 3 months pregnant and have been sufferring from terrible digestion issues (GERD, nausea, constipation, bloating, gas, etc). One of my friends told me to try apple cider vinegar to help alleviate some of my symptoms. I had my husband buy me a generic brand of ACV at the grocery store and I just started taking it yesterday. I believe that it is already making a difference in the way my gut feels; however, I just read one of the articles on this site that says distilled/pasturized ACV is "dead" and that you are losing most of the value if you are not using an organic, non-distilled version. My doctor does not want me to take anything that is not pasturized (for fear of any bacteria harming my baby). Does this mean it is pointless for me to use the grocery store brand of ACV? I haven't been using the ACV for long enough to know if it is truly effective at alleviating my problems or if all the "feeling better" stuff is just in my head. If anyone can confirm whether regular store bought (pasturized) ACV is still useful, I would greatly appreciate your comments."

BLACK KOHOSH FOR LABOR AND DELIVERY
[YEA] 01/11/2008: Brigitte from Houston, Texas writes: "Labor and delivery-Black Kohosh: Only use this product a week and a half or at the earliest, two weeks before delivery if used before this time it can induce premature labor; but when used as described here, it helps to strenghten the uterine wall to facilitate an easier and less stressful labor and delivery. I suggest that an expecting mother take one herbal supplement with each meal. IE, one at breakfast, one at lunch and one at dinner. Continue this regiment until you finally deliver your baby. One added benefit to this herbal remedy resides in the fact that you will not experience the excrutiating pains similar to contractions that are felt when you are nursing the child post natal. You may feel minor discomfort but, thank God, it is nothing like the pain you will endure if you do nothing at all. I am speaking from experience when I tell you this works."

CELL SALT REMEDY FOR ACID REFLUX DURING PREGNANCY
[YEA] 12/26/2007: Janine from Brisbane, Australia writes: "I had acid reflux during my first pregnancy and had some relief with over the counter alkalizers. This pregnancy I didn't want to alkalize my stomach acid so I can digest effectively - but I still needed some relief. My naturopath recommended nat phos, the cell salt (also called SP or sodium phosphate) which is working very well, at least as well as antacids without the worry of poor digestive side effects or aluminium additives. Be sure to chew the tablet, or dissolve it in warm water."

DO NOT TAKE ASCORBIC ACID VITAMIN C WHEN PREGNANT!
[YEA] 12/11/2007: kat from albuquerque, new mexico writes: "Ted, just wanted to comment on a reply were you stated that vitamin c can help prevent miscarriage. ascorbic acid (synthetic vit c i believe) is actually and abortificient in early term pregnancy, so you should be sure to note that unless a woman is trying to terminate a pregnancy, she should never take ascorbic acid while pregnant (ascorbic acid is the main ingredient in most off brand and lower priced vit c supplements.)"
11/17/2008: Vica from Anaheim, CA replies: "I completely disagree with Kat. Please refer to the following link from the Vitamin C foundation:
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/stone/Chapt26.htm
Scroll down to the "Pregnancy" section. It goes through all of the studies conducted on pregnant females including animal studies. It also provides the rationale behind the necessity of Vitamin C (especially during pregnancy). I have actually used the Vitamin C protocol in my last pregnancy (3 grams of Vitamin C per day 1st trimester, 6 grams 2nd trimester & 10 grams of Vitamin C in my last trimester). I can honestly say it was the easiest child birth I have had. (I should know since the last child was number 8 for my husband and I.) My baby is the most happy and mellow baby around. To this day I strive to take between 6-10 grams of Vitamin C a day. I highly recommend that everyone reads the information that can be found on
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org
One will truly be amazed at how many illnesses can be cured/treated with high doses of Vitamin C."

I take a pretty hot bath with Epsom Salt, A bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide and a few drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil in the bath and soak for 20-30 minutes. It helps alleviate the pain a great deal. You can also get on your hands and knees (all fours) and tilt your pelvis and this relieves pressure. I hope this helps."

[YEA] 01/11/2008: Brigitte from Houston, Texas writes: "Please, note that I speak from experience. Nothing works better than eating several small yet healthy meals and taking ginger supplements or eating ginger snaps for alleviating the nausea that comes with the early stages of pregnancy. Usually by your fourth month you will no longer need to bother with this as the nausea becomes less over powering. Note that the olfactory senses in a pregnant woman are keenly acute and it would also be of great assistance to bring a handkerchief lightly dowsed with baby powder or some other light fragerance that is easily tolerated by the expecting mother for times when an unpleasant odor sneaks up on you."
[YEA] 04/02/2009: Sharron from Atlanta, GA replies: "550 mg Ginger Root capsules have staved off my continual bouts with nausea and vomiting during my current pregnancy. I'm 22 weeks along and I still take one every morning & freely throughout the day at the first sign of queasiness. It works really fast -- within 5-10 minutes usually.
I wish I'd known about this remedy during my first pregnancy. It was so bad I couldn't stand to look at water without vomiting all the time. Ginger Beer helped during that pregnancy (its a stronger brew than ginger ale). But sometimes I was too sick to drink and hold it down. I wish I'd known about these ginger capsules and/or fresh ginger then. Hope this helps someone.
Also, I wonder whether ginger is the reason I've only gained like 6 lbs so far? I snack all day long rather than eating at normal mealtimes & I'm also still nursing my 1 year old. Between these three factors, I haven't gained nearly as much weight as I'd gained with the last pregnancy at this point. Anyway, cheers to GINGER!!"

12/13/2008: Shelly from Antioch, California writes: "Hello, I am so happy to find this website. I am in need of help. I am pregnant in my 2nd Trimester and have felt considerable depression during my pregnancy. Symptoms include: Lethargic, unable to get out of bed, no desire to socialize or participate in family activities, loss of desire to complete daily tasks. I have two other children ages 7 and 2yrs old and my depression is becoming burdensome and a distracting me from caring for my other children. I am experiencing intense sadness and loss of interest in daily endeavors. These symptoms are very different than normal pregnancy hormone related symptoms as they are more intense and dark in nature. I have discussed with my doctor but I do not want to take prescription medications and would like to consider all natural antidepressants. I have heard that Sam-E is supposedly good, however I want to make sure that any natural antidepressants I may take will not have harmful side effects on the baby while I am pregnant.
Question:
Are there any SAFE all natural Antidepressant remedies available to take during pregnancy?
Thank you for your help."
EC: Your question was quickly answered on Yahoo Answers! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081213191652AAaYFa6
12/13/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "To Shelley from Antioch, Ca:
Hi Shelley, sorry you are having all this depression with your pregnancy, but has your doctor checked your electrolytes/creatine levels to rule out a UTI or kidney infection? One thing you can check for yourself real fast, is your potassium level. If your problem is low potassium, drinking about 3 l2-ounce glasses of fresh or frozen orange juice in a short period of time should make you feel much better for a short period of time. If this proves true for you go to visit your doctor and ask him to check you for a kidney problem.
If it is just depression, St. John's Wort of Sam-e should be safer than the typically prescribed antidepressants. A sluggish thyroid can also make you feel a lot of what you are describing, and a good stress tab (B Complex + Vitamins C & E) can help activate a sluggish thyroid. The bottle will say l a day but until you feel a difference I don't think one at meal times (notice I said meal times, not when you eat, because everybody doesn't eat the usual 3 meals per day) will cause you any problems."

1 BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
06/27/2008: Tan Koon Peng (tankoonpeng@hotmail.com) from Singapore writes: "Red raspberry leaf tea has been used for thousands of years and has earned the reputation of being the "supreme" herb for pregnant women. It can relieve almost any discomfort of pregnancy from morning sickness to leg cramps. It has also been shown to strengthen & tone the uterine wall and help to make delivery easier and speedier by helping the uterus contract more efficiently and helps expel the placenta after.
Red Raspberry Tea have help many mothers relieved labor pain by a great deal and prevent miscarriage successfully.It have even helped a woman who had four miscarriages had 2 baby in 3 years in a row.She drank this tea daily and become a mother for the first time.
Historically women have taken raspberry leaf tea throughout their pregnancies up to and including childbirth. You may choose to drink raspberry tea during your pregnancy but add more red raspberry leaves to your drink in your final month of pregnancy. This would be great for drinking during labour & right after.
Raspberry leaf tea has traditionally been used as a woman's herb to control heavy menstrual bleeding, reduce the risk of miscarriage, and promote a healthy pregnancy. A folk remedy for minor mouth sores is to gargle with raspberry leaf tea. The Chinese traditionally used raspberry leaves for diarrhea, stomach ailments, muscle pain, and other conditions. Raspberry has also been recognized as a topical remedy for use on burns and wounds.
Red Raspberry seems to help prevent morning sickness, tone uterine muscles, reduce pain during labor, and ease childbirth. Along with blackberry, raspberry is recognized to be rich in astringent tannins that can have a beneficial effect on diarrhea. Raspberry may also help to prevent or treat: common cold and flu,sore throat,bleeding gums.
Raspberry leaf has a rich concentration of vitamin C, E, A & the B complexes. It also contains calcium & iron in one of its most absorbable forms. These are all nutrients which are very important during pregnancy.
Raspberry juice was one of twenty vegetable and fruit juices tested that showed antimutagenic activity against benzo[a]pyrene, which is a mutagen and carcinogen.
Researchers in Mexico found that ellagic acid, a phenolic compound that occurs naturally in raspberries, inhibited the mutagenicity of a strain of aflatoxin.
Raspberry Leaf: Used to restore a hormonal balance, nourish the uterus, and prevents pregnancy complications. Contains vitamins and minerals including vitamin c and calcium. The alkaloid fragrine helps tone the uterus and muscles of the pelvic region. A powerful fertility-promoting herb.
Raspberry heals the lower body organs and pelvic muscles, which helps to ease difficulties associated with uterine disorders. Also relieves tension and strengthens kidneys and urinary tract.
Scientists found that raspberry contains the alkaloid fragrine, which may relax certain pelvic muscles and promote uterine health. Ellagic acid, which also occurs in strawberries, grapes, and black currants, has antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic properties. Raspberry also contains flavonoids including quercetin; tannins; polypeptides; and vitamin C, calcium, and other nutrients.Red Raspberry also promotes healthy nails, bones, teeth, and skin.
To make a tea, pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 to 2 teaspoons of herb and steep for ten minutes. Strain.
During the first trimesters, drink 1 cup per day. During second trimester, drink 2 to 3 cups per day. In the final trimester, drink 4 to 5 cups per day. Using a teaball would be useful. You can also drink it HOT for better results.
Please store the dried tea in an airtight container in the freezer to keep the herbs dry and fresh."
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 05/14/2009: Vivian from Cedar Rapids, IA, USA replies: "I drank raspberry leaf tea religiously for the second half of my pregnancy. I usually had 3-4 cups throughout the day. I drank it to promote a speedier and more efficient labor as well as for the health benefits. Well, I'm not sure if it was the tea, or if it was because it was my second pregnancy, but the labor only lasted two hours. I was not even in the hospital a complete hour before my child was born!
I heard that drinking this tea can cause extrememly painful contractions, which I had. I also went from thinking that "This just might be it" to "Oh my! We need to leave now!!!" in a matter of minutes. No joke. It went so fast I did not get any drugs, which I was going to try to do without anyway, but regretted not getting at the time. It was almost like I just about skipped labor and went straight to delivery, at least that was what it felt like.
There really was no progression of pain. I was terrified because the contractions were so horrible that I was afraid that they were going to get worse as it went along, but it didn't. Even at the end the pain never got worse, it was just extremely intense the WHOLE time. After delivery, I was also in extreme pain, which still felt like labor, for quite some time afterwards until they gave me a pain killer. I didn't even get to hold my baby for the first half hour. The nurses did say that is pretty normal for a second labor especially when you have no drugs, you feel it more.
I wanted it to go fast, but not so fast I couldn't wrap my head around it. It was really quite dramatic! Again, I'm not sure if it was from the tea, or if it would have been like that normally. I do know I ignored the warnings about severe contractions because I thought faster was better.
It took a little longer to heal. I think because going that fast is harder on your body?? One good thing though, I only had one tiny little tear that didn't even need to be stiched, which I was quite amazed about."

[QUESTION] 06/22/2009: Mariah from Atlanta, GA writes: "Please I need remedies for preeclampsia my freand really need help : no job,no insurence . I know Ted is really busy, I need help so people start sending your answer please 0_0.Thank you !!!!!!!"
EC: From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-eclampsia
"Pre-eclampsia (US: preeclampsia) is a medical condition where hypertension arises in pregnancy (pregnancy-induced hypertension) in association with significant amounts of protein in the urine. Because pre-eclampsia refers to a set of symptoms rather than any causative factor, it is established that there are many different causes for the syndrome."
06/22/2009: Tavora from Brooklyn, NY replies: "I'm no doctor but pre-eclampsia is often attributed to nutritional deficiencies. What's your friend's diet like? The common deficiencies are potassium, protein, B6/B2, essential fatty acids and minerals such as calcium and magnesium. I don't know how far long your she is but she should consider taking a high quality pre-natal vitamin. Stress vitamins (ie B-vitamins) are so essential. I would also suggest drinking green smoothies (preferably one quart/day). They are easy to make and is a simple way of getting in "live" nutrients w/o having to chew the actual greens or fruit. Plus, its good for the baby. (Google "green smoothie recipes" on the Net - there are tons.)
Here's an easy beginner recipe:
2 cups of kale or spinach
1 mango
1 banana
2 cups of spring or distilled water (I use spring)
Optional: 1 tsp of bee pollen
Place in a high-speed blender and mix until smooth. Many blessings to you and your friend!"
06/22/2009: Jo from New Caney, TX replies: "I got pre-eclampsia right when I started going into my first labor. I had double-vision on the way to the hospital and became very swollen throughout labor. It was not pleasant at all (muscle relaxer and catheter). Since my first delivery did not go as I had planned, I did alot of research before my second child was born to prevent a repeat. I found a calcium, magnesium liquid supplement in the health-food section of local grocery store. I took 1 TBS every night. It helped me sleep better and helped me keep up with my 2 & 1/2 yo. A month before my due date, I got that swollen feeling again, felt my heartbeat as my ears pulsed. I took 2 TBS before we left for the hospital. By the time I was checked at the maturnity ward, I was fine; my blood pressure had returned to normal. I was sent home a few hours later. That pregnancy ended with a much better labor (even though that baby was even bigger than the first - 10# 2oz then 10# 14oz, both vaginally). I continued the cal/mag during breastfeeding the first year and I had no back and joint pain like I did with the first baby. I also ate alot of spinach salads during the 2nd pregnancy. I hope this info will help your friend."
06/22/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "Hello Mariah,
Anyone with preeclampsia is considered a high risk pregnancy and should definitely be under a doctors care, which I assume your friend is or she wouldn't likely have that diagnosis.
The only suggestion I can add is to stop drinking any carbonated beverages, colas and all. Learn to appreciate water..
If she develops into eclampsia, she will be hospitalized and what they will be giving her in the hospital IV will be magnesium sulfate (commonly known as Epsom Salts) and available from most drug stores, walmarts, etc. Cheapest place here is the Dollar Tree where a 2 lb. box costs $l.00. The old folks dosage was "the amount you can hold on a dime 2 times a day" to control blood pressure. Vitamin B6 is also known as nature's diuretic, but if she is low on B6 she probably needs the other B vitamins also."
[WARNING!] 06/22/2009: T from Maryland, USA replies: "Your friend needs to go to the local social services office and apply for medical assistance. With no job and a pregnancy, she will qualify. She can probably receive more besides from a WIC program. She needs to do this NOW and be seen by a doctor (the medical assistance will take time to process but they can help with the bill later). This is a DANGEROUS condition for her and the baby - don't mess around; get her to a doctor."

The labor lasted ony 3 and a half hour, a sort of miracle after the 30 hour nightmare labor I had with my daughter. I am pretty sure that the magnesium I took during the pregnancy helped me. I had mild contractions for weeks and I arrived at the real thing after a big part of the job had already been done. It was a really managable delivery (but I got a 2nd degree tear unfortunately) a very positive experience! The baby is very calm and not spitting up milk and crying very little, while my daughter would cry no stop and vomit even 8 times a day. I think this baby had such an optimal nutrition that his digestive system is just perfect, how it is supposed to be. The midwife, a nurse and my doula admired the placenta for 5 minutes saying that it was extraordinarily beautiful, they said that it was "not a McDonald placenta". Supplementation according your directions made all the difference. I am very happy and I thank you infinitely once again!!!
