Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - Some Pregnancy Info and Links

This is some info I found that is very important to know if you are expecting or hoping to be soon! Take a look at the links below.

I didn't go to any type of Dr. or even my midwife until much later than 4.5 m. However... I knew what to expect from my body, and I altered my diet to fit the nutritional needs I had as a "pregnant lady".  You have to be mindful of how your body reacts and what it needs.  I have been 'watching what my body needs' in the terms of supplements for several years now, so I know what to look for.

Leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach and asparagus, contain naturally occurring folic acid. 

This is REALLY good and has a LOT of good info!! >>>  Vitamin B9 ( Folic acid / Folate )

Prevention of pregnancy complications

Studies have proven that folate consumption during pregnancy prevents deficiency and anemia in pregnant women. Low folate levels during pregnancy may contribute to birth defects and pregnancy loss. Consuming a high dietary intake of folate and taking folic acid supplements orally during pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube birth defects in the infant.  

Some other info:
B-Complex Vitamins are a GREAT stress reliever.
I hope this is encouraging and a help!
blessings!

About Me

Walking Therein is a blog dedicated to journaling our family times, encouraging Biblical living, presenting what we have learned in 15 years of home schooling, and occasionally sidetracking on news-related stories or politics. We are looking for Yeshua, our Messiah to return soon, and are devoted to the One True God, which you will see reflected on each page. I am a forgiven & restored daughter of the One True God, a happy stay-at-home wife, and home schooling Momma to eight beautiful children. Our home school is Living Learning Moments, meaning we learn as life happens. We live on a 2 1/2 acres little farm in IN, and we love our homestead, raise goats and chickens, and keep our home. We also enjoy managing several websites and writing articles for the glory of God as we train up our children for him.
