Feedback about the Midwife Archives


    Better pregnancy nutrition can grow a healthier baby, keep perineal tissues intact and support VBAC

    In my experience, there are significant things a pregnant woman can do to improve the integrity of the tissues and thus help to reduce complications.
    My primary recommendations for this are the Collageena protein supplement and a good-quality vitamin C supplement with bioflavonoids.  These are especially important in the last trimester, when the perineum and uterus are growing lots of new tissue.  You can learn more about these supplements and the research behind these recommendations at:

    The Better Baby Book: Use nutrition, your environment, and your mind to create the healthiest, smartest, autism-free baby possible by Lana Asprey, MD, and Dave Asprey,  "To help parents gift their children with better health and higher intelligence for life." It's available either on Kindle or paperback.

    This book was written by a couple who know more about pregnancy nutrition than anyone I've ever heard, met or read about.

    The book is finally out as of Jan. 1, 2013.  You can also read their Better Baby Blog.

I am very happy to receive feedback that will help me to improve the Midwife Archives.
