Morning Sickness Remedies:

• Sea Bands – Motion sickness bands
• High amounts of vitamin b – my two favorite Vitamin B complexes are Dr. Axe’s Vitamin B complex & the one I use now is Super B by Young Living (it’s AMAZING!!)

Heartburn remedies:

• The only thing that has ever worked for me for heartburn is: Alkalime supplement by Young Living

Pregnancy tea:

• Mama’s Red Raspberry brew – My favorite pregnancy blend!!
• Mama’s Milk tea – Great for lactation and milk production!
• Earthley also makes a great pregnancy tea

Pregnancy workout dvd:

• Lindsey Brin’s pregnancy workout DVD set

Vitamins and supplements:

• Take a good prenatal – I use Master Formula + Super B as my prenatal vitamin (both from Young Living). You can read about this combo here.
• Dr. Axe also has a great prenatal I recommend
• I also take a good probiotic. I switch between Young Living’s Life9 and some of Dr. Axe’s probiotics. It’s a good idea to switch up your probiotic from time to time to get different strains. Dr. Axe has a bunch of good ones but I recommend his Women’s once a day as well as his SBO probiotic.
• You will also want a good omega/fish oil supplement for pregnancy. No surprise here but I recommend one of Dr. Axe’s Omega’s but all four are currently sold out. The one I take now is Young Living’s OmegaGize. A good omega supplement is crucial during pregnancy, but a GOOD one from a good source is going to be expensive. Just keep that in mind. I usually take mine 3-4 times a week instead of every day just to lesson that expense a bit.
• I also take Magnesium and iron – see my favorites below

Other supplements I LOVE:

• TriLight Health has an entire line of pregnancy herbal blends that are affordable and rock! Their ingredients are outstanding. I recommend getting their Pregnancy essentials kit for everything you need.
• Earthley is my next favorite store to recommend. It’s owned by a mom who has a passion for providing home remedies at an affordable price. Here are a few of my favorites from Earthley:
• Pregnancy tea -a Premade blend for pregnancy
• Fertili Boost herbal extract – Want help getting pregnant? This tincture might help.
• Post Partum balance – I am SO getting this tincture for this time around – helps balance things out after pregnancy
• Mama’s tummy relief – I wish I had seen this during my first-trimester sickness
• Nourish her naturally – Another possible option for a prenatal
• Magnesium Lotion – Another great one for pregnancy! I use this every night. Dr. Axe has a good supplement if you want a pill instead of a lotion.
• Iron supplement – I LOVE Earthley’s iron supplement. Make sure to look for an herbal iron supplement though if using a different brand.
