    I’m in my third trimester with my second baby….one thing that has helped SO much with heartburn is some oat milk before bed. I notice a huge difference when I do this and don’t have to take tums at night. Easy fix 😊

    MA'AM you just helped me solve a problem i've had all my life. I did not know about restless leg syndrome and you described it and I looked into it and i've been getting this since I was a child, seemed like nothing ever helped. I always felt like I had to consistently move or stretch my feet because of this uncomfortable aching sensation at night and I just never knew how to describe it to other people so I never found out what it is, I just accepted it as part of my life. Thank you!

    Sleep with a humidifier changed my life during this pregnancy. I get awful pregnancy congestion during the night which is accompanied by nose bleeds. I just couldn't sleep because I couldn't breath. I now have it blasting in my face & it's awesome!

    Thank you so much for talking about peeing!!! I had hyperemesis gravidarum in my pregnancy and every time I vomited, I also peed like Niagara Falls! So that happened several times a day! Thank god I was pregnant in 2020 and being humiliated in the privacy of my own bathroom. Otherwise it would have been a disaster requiring disability leave!

      I would definitely see a nutritionist and get a basic blood panel done! I did this while I was pregnant and it was much harder to treat my vitamin deficiencies during pregnancy than afterwards.

    • @kaylalyons96

    If you have incontinence you can also see a Pelvic Floor physical therapist if you have access to one. You can treat it during pregnancy or postpartum! Leakage is something commonly fixed with PT!

    I appreciate your honesty about the incontinence you experienced after Sage. I had the same and was really worried when I had no control those first few days.

      @@HealthNutNutrition what week of pregnancy did you start having incontinence issues? I'm 24 weeks pregnant and it started a few weeks ago with baby number 1. I'm just hoping I can get ahead of it with pelvic floor therapy so it doesn't worsen.

  • @graceelizabeth8788
    @graceelizabeth8788 Рік тому

    If you are having issues with incontinence it can be really helpful to see a pelvic floor physical therapist. Your pelvic floor could be too loose, too tight, or both. I would recommend calling around and making sure the PT you choose has a biofeedback machine and knows how to do internal exams. I went to 3 different PTs before I found one that was actually helpful.

    My friend recommended buying a pregnancy pillow even if I am not pregnant. Her partner would steal her pregnancy pillow when she was pregnant with her son, so now her partner, her and her daughter all have their own pregnancy pillows and none of them are pregnant now haha.

    I am in my second trimester and I 10000% relate to the protein! If I'm not upping my protein and including it often during the day, I am ravenous at the end of the night. Bonus, my 2 year old is a protein fan too so we often eat the same things for snacks.

    My nephew used the wrist bands to help with car sickness when he was a toddler. He would throw up pretty often during car rides. I never heard of magnesium cream until after I had my baby. I read on a blog somewhere that nuts and seeds help with leg cramps during pregnancy, so I added walnuts, sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds to my oatmeal for breakfast. I could feel the cramps any day I didn't have that for breakfast.

  • @ashleymatthyssen5008

    I'm in my third trimester and I've tried so many times to sleep with a pillow between my knees. It just hasn't worked for me. Maybe I need a thinner pillow. Humidifier is sooo helpful! There's more blood flow to the mucus membranes and makes it all swell up and dry out. It's terrible!
