Nausea...horrible never ending nausea. Starts around noon every day and doesn't end till I go to sleep at night.
Sleepy. I could probably sleep 24 hours a day and it would not be enough!
Restless sleep at night with a racing mind that won't shut off.
Food aversions. I don't want to even think about zuccini, raw or cooked chicken, or really hardly any food at all past 3pm.
Food cravings. Steak! All I want is steak and burgers! Especially when my protein levels for the day are low.
So, how am I incorporating Young Living products into my pregnancy at just 9 weeks pregnant? In SOOO many ways!
What supplements am I taking?
Super B tablets for all my B vitamin needs as well as my folic acid needs. This also helps with energy which is great right now!
Balance Complete in my berry and greek yogurt smoothie every morning for breakfast! I know lack of protein is HUGE at causing my extreme bouts of nausea. So, I start my morning with a scoop of Balance Complete, blueberries, strawberries, organic greek yogurt, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and a few drops of Sweet Leaf vanilla creme stevia drops all mixed together in my blender! YUM!
MultiGreens capsules to cover all the good stuff I am missing thanks to being sick and having food aversions to just about everything except steak and burgers. :)
Life 5 probiotic to keep my gut flora good and healthy. Highly recommended for everyone because so many studies are linking most everything health related back to your gut. It is THAT important.
NingXia Red, 2 ounces every morning with a drop of Thieves essential oil added to it! This is soo yummy! NingXia Red is amazing for blood health and it also helps with morning sickness. A definite win!
What Young Living oils have I been using?
Lavender and Valor at night for sleep. These two oils are my new favorite! Just this week I began struggling to sleep well. Very restless sleep with vivid dreams (horrible dreams) and I would wake to my mind racing! Prayer was what helped me get back to sleep after those episodes. (Do you know my amazing God?) But I would not sleep well after that either. Before I fall asleep, I apply lavender to my neck and shoulders (this is hard because right now, lavender stinks to my most sensitive nose) and I apply Valor to my big toes.
Progessence Plus for balanced progesterone. This oil is amazing! It contains progesterone from wild yam extract. I saw how my use of this oil made a difference in my blood work recently! My progesterone levels were right where they needed to be! Progesterone is super important in the first trimester as they have found that a low progesterone level can actually be a cause of miscarriage.
Endoflex blend. Amazing blend for thyroid health! Last fall my thyroid levels were off and I was borderline hypoglycemic. After using this oil blend for the last 9 months, I saw on my recent blood work that my thyroid levels were right where they needed to be! So thankful! Your thyroid plays into so many aspects of your health including fertility.
AromaEase for nausea. This is a new blend that was introduced back in June specifically for nausea! It is great and each time I have applied it, I have found relief. Not 100% relief, but enough to get me off the couch and out of a fetal position to continue to live semi normal days.
Deep Relief for headaches! Last night I got a bad headache. First one this pregnancy. Applied Deep Relief to the base of my neck, my temples, and across my forehead. I actually forgot about it and before drifting off to sleep realized my headache was gone! :)
Thieves and Lime and Orange in my diffuser. It just smells soo good! Living in a world where everything smells horrible and makes me want to make a mad dash to the toilet, this is my happy place! Not only am I purifying the air of germs, but my house smells yummy and I am one happy Momma!
