Bec, Sorry I have no answer's for you. Just wanted to say HI and hoping that your doing well. Fingers crossed this little baby stays put for a lot longer. She's got heaps more cooking to do.
I was also going to suggest RLT, but given your premmie history it's probably not the best idea. Maybe you can start shoving the Activite down your throat too.
Loads of luck hun and I hope you find out some more info.
ETA. Bec I just found this, thought I would share it with you.
Blood pressure problems or heart disease: Fenugreek is commonly reported to lower blood pressure and LDL blood cholesterol levels. White (author) indicates, however, that it may cause or contribute to hypertension (high blood pressure) - this source recommends avoiding this herb if you have a history of hypertension, or if there is a strong family history of hypertension or heart disease.
Also
Potential Side Effects
Sweat and urine smells like maple syrup (this is common and often a sign that you have reached the right dose)
Loose stools in some women, which go away when fenugreek is discontinued
Hypoglycemia in some mothers
Can cause uterine contractions - do NOT use if you're pregnant
Diabetic mothers should use caution with fenugreek since it can cause lowering of blood glucose levels. (5)
So maybe it isnt' such a great idea for you to try out yet ??
