How The Pregnancy Miracle (TM) Was Conceived, Part 2

How The Pregnancy Miracle (TM) Was Conceived, Part 2

I Tried Everything! 

Book, knowledge and interviews are one thing, but it's not the same as knowledge from actual experience. Scientific facts, figures and theories weren't enough.

I have also tried every Infertility treatment known to science and natural health with conviction, desire and hope that it will make a difference and that it will finally eliminate my Infertility and help me get pregnant and give birth to the child I was dreaming of.

I began applying all of my newfound knowledge and before long was taking more than a dozen vitamin supplements and minerals every day – and having my husband do the same. I became convinced that pre-conception care for both the husband and wife were the key to conception. We started exercising, eating organic, avoiding toxins wherever we could and even had our amalgam fillings replaced with ceramic to avoid having mercury in our systems. We even began practicing Biorhythmic Lunar Cycle, which shows a woman her most fertile time by comparing the phase of the moon at her birth with the current moon phases. 

Yet I Still Could Not Get Pregnant

The vast majority of the above techniques and so called treatments either made me feel worse, or simply didn't have any effect what so ever on my infertility condition.

Moreover, most medical books on infertility offered partial dietary advice along with vitamins and special herbal supplements. These approaches don't work either! I know because I tried them all and I still could not get pregnant.

I realized the hard way, that there were no magic pills or fix-it-all products to Infertility. Changing your diet and taking certain supplements may increase your chances of getting pregnant, but when the real cause of Infertility is neglected, the chances of becoming pregnant for couples with infertility issues would be slim, along with an increased chance for miscarriage. 

Now, 14 Painful Years and Thousands of
Diligent Work Hours Later, The Infertility
Puzzle Was Finally Solved... 

Not long after a conversation with a mid-wife and a Chinese medicine expert, I discovered a very important piece of research. I believe now that it was the final piece to our puzzle and allowed us to not only get pregnant, but to carry our baby to full term – twice!

After more than 14 years of diligent work and in depth research on a daily basis, after experiencing several eureka moments and after a long process of trial and error and dozens of interviews and self experiments, I applied my years of training to finally uncover the solution to Infertility . From all the truths and evidence, misconceptions and lies...the Infertility puzzle was finally solved. It took me more than a year to polish and refine my discovery and then I applied it myself with great hopes and passion and to my sheer amazement- after a few weeks of following it...

Early Signs of Pregnancy: Morning Sickness

Early Signs of Pregnancy: Morning Sickness

One of the toughest part of the 1st trimester of pregnancy is morning sickness and any woman who has gone through or is going through it, knows the first signs usually develop during the month following the first missed menstrual period, when hormone levels increase. It may range from mild, occasional nausea to sever, continuous, debilitating nausea with bouts of vomiting. In most cases, symptoms may be worse in morning, albeit they can strike day or night.

Despite all advances in medicine, there is no way of predicting how long your morning sickness will last even if you have suffered it before. Generally, nausea and vomiting last till about 12 - 13 weeks of pregnancy. However, some women continue to feel ill beyond their 22nd week as well.

However, some studies show that mild to moderate sickness is a sign of a good pregnancy, and less risk of miscarriage.

There is no simple treatment. The best course of action is home treatment. The following tips work wonders not only when you wake up feeling nauseous but also work when you get that queasy feeling during the day.

Changing what, when and how much you eat coupled with certain changes to the way foods cooked helps.

During morning or for that matter all day sickness, you may find that eating five or six small meals, rather than the usual three large ones, is easier on the body. Make sure each meal contains some protein and carbohydrate, like whole wheat bread with grated cheese and a slice of tomato, rice or wheat preparation with some easily digestible / light cereals, orange juice and a whole wheat biscuit. Be creative; choose low fat health foods you know will tempt your appetite. Aversions to food because of nausea are perfectly normal and understandable.

Try not to skip meals. Eat small, dry snacks.

Don’t jump up out of bed immediately. Lie quietly for a while and ask you husband to bring you a slice of fresh lemon or orange or a dry, bland biscuit.

Avoid large drinks, have frequent small one between meals.

Spicy, fried foods, and fatty foods like very rich sweets, are best avoided.

Avoid excessive consumption of pickles or chutney, which is rich in salt.

Don’t spend much time in the kitchen and avoid the strong smell of certain foods when shopping.

Prepare food when feeling least nauseous.

Taking lemon or orange juice in the morning and before meals relieves nausea of early pregnancy.

Suck an ice cube till the nausea passes off.

Sip on cool water.

However, if you have severe, persistent nausea and vomiting, see your doctor. This uncommon complication of pregnancy can lead to dehydration and malnutrition, sometimes calling for prescribed medication and in some cases even hospitalization. Although drugs are best avoided in pregnancy, especially in the early months, there are some that have been in use for many years with no apparent danger to the developing baby.
