Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I do advise my clients to take an extra 1000 mg of Vit. C - for several reasons. The first is the obvious one - to boost your immune system and the baby's as well. Getting sick while pregnant is not only miserable, but can predispose Mom to preterm labor if she gets dehydrated and baby is more likely to be stressed and perhaps have meconium and while not a crisis, it raises the risk of c-section. Even more importantly, Vit. C adds strength and integrity to baby's amniotic sac and this is important because it protects baby from infection and a bag that is intact well into labor is a good thing - it helps baby to rotate and get into optimal position for birth and it eases the pain of labor. A strong bag will usally break at 8-10 centimeters. I did have a baby born last Spring with his bag still intact! What an awesome thing to see (and old wives tales say it's good luck!) The other supplement not mentioned is a high quality fish oil. Great for baby's brain development and helpful for Mom's tissues when it comes time for them to stretch. Hope this helps!!
