herbs

I work in technical Support and i just had a client on the phone who works with natropath medicine.
He travels quite frequently to care for Amish comminuties and small towns. Anyway, back to the point he gave me some information i thought you girls would like also. I would double check these to make sure i wrote them down right and ask your OB if you'd like but some herb suppliments and their uses.

Blessed Thistle = when you are nursing will increase your milk supply.
Parsley and Sage = when you are nursing do not take. This will dimish your milk, no matter how hard you try and BF.

through the end of pregnancy and after delivery
Red rasberry for cervix ripening and uterus shrinking back to normal

thought i would share for those who want it.

So, apparently it is a bad thing to have seizures while pregnant. Ive never been to a neturologist. mainly because when the seizures started in my life i was using cocaine. I had one this weekend. And i didnt even think about it at the time. I thought why am i having one without Using. (ive been clean just over a year) but nothing about the Baby. i was sitting at lunch thinking about it today and decided to call the doc. Apparently its BAD i didnt go to the ER. My nurse chewed me, Didnt tell me anything that could be possible going wrong told me she would call me back. She is calling aroung the Neurologists to find me an emergency appt then i go to that and then back to Dr. Ballard's office. Poop. Someone should put me in the badparents community already.

Zofran

Yaay, i havent puked in about 16 hours. i just got on a new medication. Zofran -
for those of you that didnt know they diagnosed me with HG (Hyperemesis Gravidarium)(def- is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting and can lead to dehydration, weight loss and nutritional deficiencies. )

So they give me this presciption for zofran and the lady at the pharmacy asks me if im paying cash, i ask her how much it is she says 410.00 , im like No heres my insurance card.

In other words i hae a 400 dollar medication that will allow me to keep weight on. And not vomit at all times of the day.
yaay, this one also does not give side effects the same as cocaine withdrawl like the last one did and will not cause me to go back in a manic state again like regla tried to do.

Yaay!
