Daily Supplement Protocol Week 36+

THROUGHOUT THE DAY:
- 1x Scoop Collagen
- 1x Scoop Protein Powder
- 6x Dates
- Milk with fresh turmeric
- 2x Scoops of Gentle Fibre
- Two spoons of Ghee daily – In Ayurveda, Ghee is recommended during conception and pregnancy as it can help with absorption of calcium and for loosening abdominal and pelvic muscles (source).
- Red Raspberry leaf tea (1 to 3 cups daily) – I am having this as historically this tea has been used (as tea or tonic) to strengthen the uterus and promote faster, healthier labor and quicker postpartum recovery.
- Add Alfalfa to my diet (vitamin K for blood clotting)
PM:
- 1x Scoop night magnesium
- Melatonin as required
- Apply night lip balm before sleep
- Coloxyl and rectinoid as required (yes unfortunately the downward pressure can cause haemorrhoids – you can use a topical ointment, increase your fibre intake and also have a bath or sitz bath to soothe the discomfort).
