" Good afternoon ma. Ma please what herbs can pregnant woman drink to be healthy and give birth to a healthy child? "
" Good afternoon ma. Giving birth to a healthy child is not a during-pregnancy thing. It starts from your way of life, even before conception. Let's assume your immunity has always been weak and you conceived, drinking herbs in pregnancy, won't automatically make you a strong person or your offspring, except of course, your spouse's immunity is so strong as to overshadow yours. Then, in such case, you might produce a strong offspring. The herb in pregnancy is to avert some unnecessary complains and discomforts here and there. In Ndcl's Prenatal class, we define your lifestyle as a pregnant woman; exercise routine, feeding plan, we put your weight into consideration, etc. If overweight, we help you shed, to avert issues with heart burn, acid reflux, palpitations, heart attacks, edema, etc. The hospital would tell you its hbp, but we know it's your weight and not hbp. This helps you avert still birth, giving birth to an overweight baby which would have led to emergency surgeries and even loss of your own life. If Underweight, you need the energy and nutrients from weight to survive the pregnancy journey. Your offspring too, needs this to grow and develop well. Lack of nutrients in you, would curate a weak and improperly developed human. If stressed, we help you overcome this, to avoid heart or cognitive issues, before the hospital would tell you its hbp and make you start drugging yourself. So, it's a whole lot, not just about herbs.
The most important is, be healthy before conception, to avoid stories.
Did I make any sense ma?
