Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy

[Lady Alinor]

I am 7 months into a 2+ year Traditional Chinese course...so...keeping that in mind, these tips come from an Acupuncturist (Clara Cohen of Acuproacademy.com).

1st Month: eat easily digestible foods, include Barley in the diet. Stay calm, don't over exercise....the reason? to allow fetus time to securely latch on. No fear, no grief, no anger. Stay out of hot and cold extremes

2nd Month: Avoid Hot and Spicy foods. Gentle sex okay

3rd Month: Eat more QUALITY proteins, Rest...Meditate...Sleep as much as possible

4th Month: Consume more Brown Rice and Fish. Do not overeat

5th Month: SLEEP. Stay warm, eat Oats, eat sweet and sour foods together

6th Month: Daily walks, in Nature if possible, eat root vegetables and WILD meats

7th Month: Bone soups and GENTLE Yoga

8th Month: Deep breathing, Stay calm, AVOID stress and anger

9th Month: Stay dry, avoid damp. NO SWEETS

10th Month: AVOID salty foods. MEDITATE
