Hot tea and hot water worked really well for me! I eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies, stay hydrated, but some days the tea was the only thing that worked!

Hi Kira, do you recommend taking digestive enzymes containing amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase and lipase?

In the stress related video, I think I remember you mentioning that Natural Calm Magnesium ought to be stopped at 36 weeks gestation. I'm wondering why? I've been taking this supplement for about 3 months and it has done wonders in many areas. I'm currently at 35weeks&4days and wondering if I should discontinue??

@CajunStork 3 жыл бұрын

So, my thought on this is that magnesium is a uterine calmer. There is no evidence that discontinuing oral or topical magnesium at 36 weeks is vital to pregnancy but I always thought it might be helpful and urge my clients to stop it around that time.

I am six months pregnant and I had constipation and bloating all the time. I do not have them for a week and I did not change anything in my diet and i am in bed rest because of on and off bleeding l/spotting due to previa. Do you think this is bad?. Does this mean my pregnancy hormones are not enough?

Hello there!! I have been dealing with constipation since past many years after my first delivery, now in my second pregnancy its worst. I am trying everything. Pls recommend something. I might be having any other issues with my body like any deficiency ? What might be the cause of so prolonged constipation.

can I drink the red raspberry leaf tea and take the Alfalfa pill for iron. I am not anemic but on the lower side. 29 weeks

@CajunStork 3 жыл бұрын

If your dr or Midwide says it’s okay. It helps to not take them at the same time.

You don’t need to go to the ER for constipation please do not go. We will have you do your own enema at home. This is horrible advice

@CajunStork 3 ай бұрын

When home enemas don't work, the ER is the place to be in pregnancy.
