    Hi All
    I asked my TCM practitioner about the parsley, she is looking more into it, but her thought were that the major risk would be from the oil which is found in the seeds... interesting anyway. afm i will avoid parsley just in case...
    She gave me a list of 'yang' foods to eat as well.... in case you are interested here is the list.
    Lamb, Garlic and GInger (not too much as they are quite strong) - as we all know ginger is v good for m/s as well so this is a great one. she did mention that ginger can take 48 hrs to work so stick with it if you think it isnt doing much.
    Basil
    Chive
    Cinnamon
    Clove
    Dill
    Fennel
    Nutmeg
    PIstachio
    Rosemary
    Sage
    Thyme
    Trout
    Walnut

    As I said do your own research but thought you may like to see what was recommended for me..

    LOL Oshani - I did laugh when she said that!!!
    Yes these foods are in chinese med especially good for helping to create a good 'environment' for the baby, keep you healthy etc. there are also herbs etc to prevent miscarriage but she only recommends these if you get bleed/cramps or have a history!
    The way I see it, it cant hurt to try to include at least some of these (maybe sprinkle some of the spices on the potatoe cake!!)
    Amsta - wish you a H&H preg - YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I am also getting my blood test results back today I hope)
