Oh I am glad you pointed that out blondedr, i had no idea. i will ask at my appt tomorrow as well. Obv do your own research and make your own choices - I just thought ppl may be keen to see this list and i was happy to share.
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..
soo l emme get this right.. these foods help to grow a healthy bub and helps to reduce the risk of miscarraige?? i want to do my aqua but a friend said i shouldnt.. what is it that these foods are good for???
also congradulations preagainpan!! on your bub.. im waiting on some hormone results today to let me know how far i am but i think im 4 or 5 weeks but its been confirmed that im definetly UTD so im ahppy
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)
well i might b 5 weeks then (fingers crossed) then we would be in the same boat!! hehehehe so correct me if im wrong if i say include galic in my boloniaise then that would help.. or basil on some crackers with some tomatoes.. etc.. or ginger in a fresh juice sounds good ! ill give it a go!! thinking of oyu this afternoon when you get your test results and when i get mine xoxoxo
