I really believe in dates 🥹 As it is mentioned in Quran that God told Mary when she is in labour with Jesus to shake the palms and eat dates to ease her pain it always makes me teary when I read it 🥹 “And shake the trunk of this palm tree towards you, it will drop fresh, ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink, and put your heart at ease. But if you see any of the people, say, ‘I have vowed silence1 to the Most Compassionate, so I am not talking to anyone today.’” Surah Maryam 25-26. Thank you for all the beautiful tips you share with us I really enjoy your videos always 🧡

She birthed the Son of God, hashem, the One God in the flesh. To lay His earthly vessel down unto death, for the sin of the world. The apostles who walked with him for three years testify to WHO Jesus really was. The quran came hundreds of years later. Seek God for truth and He will reveal Himself to you.

I teach ESL to Chinese students, and one of my student families gave me a huge container of dates because they're "good for pregnant ladies." I had never heard of that before, but I'm so thankful for their generosity, because I love dates and now I'm learning about their benefits. Honestly, learning about Chinese prenatal and postpartum medicine is really fascinating to me and it makes a lot of sense. It's also neat to see that some traditional methods are being upheld by modern research findings.

Love this video, great tips, Becca! These resonated with me because I do most of these preparations as well! I loved the reminder to be calm and confident during labor, and I really appreciate that you said you’re looking forward to labor. 💖 I’m overdue with baby #9 and I’m needing a boost in confidence that I can yet again do this! My only medicated birth (epidural) was my first, but all subsequent births have been unmedicated and very positive experiences (including twins). Prayers for your last few weeks and for a wonderful and smooth delivery ☺️💗

No need for any tea ladies until last 2 weeks if u think so ! Ud better grow that baby till 38 39 weeks and then start , teas make our body dehydrated and then ud need more water and natural contractions are much better then any induced ones . The body knows how to do it all ! We just have to follow thru

First top. coffee is not healthy during pregnancy

@3l3phantz 3 ай бұрын

Women all around the world have been drinking coffee during their pregnancies for centuries. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that pregnant women limit their caffeine intake to 300 milligrams per day. This is equivalent to about 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day, depending on the strength of the coffee. But everyone is different so talk to your doctor.

@WholeFamilyCrunch 3 ай бұрын

Coffee and other forms of caffeine, especially when the mom’s adrenals are drained, actually pull from the baby’s adrenal stores. This can lead to life long issues. If you’re tired, rest in the way you can. Take an adrenal complex that is safe for pregnancy, take beef liver in whatever form you can handle or take methylated B vitamins- all of these are healthy forms of energy that won’t have a negative impact on your baby’s health. You do you, but just because it’s been done before doesn’t always mean you should keep doing it, do your research and listen to your body ❤
