Your Questions About Natural Pregnancy Products

Sandra asks…

Natural Calm Magnesium Powder Supplement safe during pregnancy?

I just purchased Peter Gillham’s “Natural Calm” dietary supplement to take during my pregnancy. I’m 6 weeks pregnant. I read on their website that it’s safe to take during pregnancy, however I’ve read other comments that said check with your doctor as this product ‘could’ cause loose bowls and in tern, cause premature labor. I just took the recommended dosage and now I’m a little concerned that this may in fact be harmful?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Michelle answers:

Let’s say it is doubtful you have done any damage from one dose! It is a product I have tried, though I was not pregnant at the time! When you are pregnant, you ALWAYS check with your doctor before trying something out of the ordinary, ALWAYS! You do not go by what labels or the Internet or websites tell you…anyone (even I!) can give wrong advice, and labels can also be wrong. Check with your doctor, but in the meantime, don’t worry about that small amount of it, the stress you are feeling is bad for the baby!

Sharon asks…

Besides the obvious of healthy eating, is there anything that aid in pregnancy?

I’ve had a few complications already, cramping & spotting, but we saw the baby yesterday & were told everything looks good. Have to rest for a few days & no lifting.

I know lots of protein & green vegetables are good for the baby, but I’m wondering if there are any natural products that will help us AVOID a miscarriage? We’ve been trying for this baby for so long, I’m so scared we’re going to lose him/her.

Michelle answers:

Unfortunately, there are no foods you can eat to avoid a miscarriage. In my opinion, the hardest part of being pregnant is the constant worrying, which is unfortunately unavoidable, because you’re growing a tiny family member inside of you, and you have no way of knowing or checking if everyone is okay or not. Plus, pretty much every symptom that can mean that your baby is fine can also mean that your baby is in trouble–so google is pretty much useless.

I know it’s scary, but hang in there-if you saw the baby, then everything should be fine!

Betty asks…

Are Lush bath products safe to use in pregnancy?

My other half gave me a Lish gift set for Christmas but I’m not sure on whether they are safe to use in pregnancy as they’re made with all natural ingredients including essential oils.

I’ve tried calling them but they’re closed. I was planning a bath tonight with this ballistic tonight:
https://www.lush.co.uk/products/bath/bath-ballistics/satsumo-santa_812.html

Has anyone used it or any other Lush products in pregnancy, or does anyone know that they’re safe? It contains citrus and bergamot oil.

Michelle answers:

Baths are find but i know that essential oils are not.
Many people have told me so, books and my esthetic girl.

If used properly – it doesn’t harm your skin…nor does it dry it out or make it go darker
