Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I have a question for you guys, anyone feel free to respond on or offlist, it's a bit personal however. My husband and I have been married for almost 6 years now and have been trying to conceive almost all of that time. We've been through many hurdles including a basketball sized cyst and one of my ovaries being removed. After that situation I went to see a reproductive endocrinologist, the best in my area by far. Monday he told me that there was nothing else he could do for me. All our tests have been normal, there's no known reason why we should have any problems. Yet every month my cycle shows up again. I conceived once, almost 2 years ago and miscarried at 4 weeks. I've now decided that I'm giving up on modern medicine and an considering various holistic and spiritual means for acheiving our goal. I am 28 now, and feel very strongly about NOT doing invitro or any other unatural means. I've considered adoption, and that will be our path in a couple of years if I can't sustain a pregnancy. However I've had dreams of my future daughter and she has my husbands eyes. I'd really like to hear any advice that you bunch of insightful people have for my situation. If there are any mantras or specific practices or dietary recommendations, please send them to me, offlist, if you prefer. With Navariti approaching, I am setting up an altar tonight with Saraswati, Lakshmi and Durga images, however Lakshmi seems the most appropriate to ask she's the one of the three I've worked with the least. So far I've cut all sugar out of my diet, am eating mostly veggies and lean meat, I've been doing yoga, and taking prenatal vitamins. I've lost 30 lbs this year and feel better than I ever have before. Thank you in advance and I look forward to your replies.

Don't do this without consulting your doctor. Vegetarians have special dietary concerns due to the lack of animal protein, which is important for the development of brain and nervous system tissue. And please don't forget that no matter what you eat, you're taking a life, be it plant or animal. CC ^..^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Europe there is a long tradition of the Black Madonna who are implored in the various problems of fertility. In US there is a black madonna in New York in Cathedral of St John the Divine, I found on internet: "In chapel of the Synod of the Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church, OL of Kursk, found in 1295 at the foot of an old oak-tree near Rilsk, later placed in Kursk Cathedral, escaped destruction several times, found in Munich 1945 and taken to NY." and "Spain has more than fifty images of the Black Madonna. Nineteen have been documented in Germany. Italy has more than thirty Black Madonnas. France has more than three-hundred. " Still today people go on pilgrimage to these Black Madonnas. There is a lot of pages about the Black Madonna, you can just google and you will find. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetarians (true vegetarians, not fake ones who eat chicken and fish) need to be aware of the potential in a very new fetus of developmental problems brought on by lack of animal protein, and with their doctor plan to make up for that lack. Vegetarians can and do have healthy babies, but the mother-to-be needs to be much more careful than a meat-eater to make sure she is getting all the elements that are essential for fetal development. Animal protein was responsible for the surge in brain size in early humans, and recent studies have found that inadequate amounts of it or a good substitute can retard or deform growth and development of fetal brain tissue. This is something that really needs to be discussed with a doctor, not on a mailing list. > (Celtic Cyberwolf wrote: > >And please don't forget that no > >matter what you eat, you're taking a life, be it plant or animal. > > > Would you use that argumentation when comparing humans and plants also? > I'm afraid you are being too subtle in your question; please elaborate and I will be happy to answer. (However, you might try just reading my archived posts to get my views on this - there are not very many and they are very recent. I have gone on at length on this subject earlier and hope everyone is not already bored with it.) CC ^..^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this thread, we were talking about the nutrition intake of the mother supporting the fetus. The developing fetus does not support itself, so of course what the mother eat affects its development. If you want to get into an argument about nonmothers being omnivorous, forget it. BTDT. You keep your beliefs, I'll keep mine.
