Staying Healthy and Taking Supplements to Combat Fatigue in my 1st Trimester

Posted By Jacque on August 25, 2006

I was talking online to a Friend of mine last night, and she asked me how I am feeling and such.
Seeing as I am barely in my 8th week,  I am in my usual 1st trimester tired state. It is partly due to my sleep habits, which need to change and part of it due to my age, I suppose. And, I guess, tandem nursing a 1 year old and a 3 year-old (barely) probably has something to do with it, too!
So, I am trying to cut back on caffeine – in the form of Dr. Pepper – and take my supplements daily.  I was asked this question a few months back, and never finished the post I started, so I am going to list what I am doing at this time to keep myself – and babes – healthy:

1. I drink chlorophyll whenever I feel the need.
2. Supplements I take daily are:

(Shaklee) Multi-Vitamin
Vitamin C
B-Complex
Vitamin E
Iron with C
Calcium

3. Sleep whenever I need it.
4. I learned how to read my body several years back, so I now “know” when I need something.
5. I will be getting some Red Raspberry to take.
6. Drink a lot of water.
7. Get some type of exercise regularly
8. I don’t know why I always think of this last, but I am reading the Bible and growing closer to God, because this is the best thing to be done for everyone’s well-being!
9. Delegate, delegate, delegate. Older, well-trained, God-fearing children are such a blessing to your home school. I truly appreciate my children.

I will try to get the information posted of the benefits of some of the vitamins and herbs, etc. I mentioned… like the Chlorophyll and Red Raspberry.  They help in overall women’s health, as well as pregnancy and birth.
Please pray with us as we are searching for a midwife. The last 2 home births we had were wonderful, but my midwife moved to Tennessee…. Indiana is cracking down on midwives and even prosecuting, so I am praying the Lord will lead us safely to His choice for our family.

Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!
and you are to love YHVH your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your understanding, and with all your strength.' 6 These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; 7 and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
{Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Mark 12:28-30}

Welcome

Welcome to my online home, Walking Therein. I am a 40-something wife and Momma, trying to walk therein, squeezing in moments of Scripture reading, praise and worship and just quiet between the breastfeeding, child training, cooking, cleaning, child training, laundry, home school, child training, online ministries, and spending individual moments with hubby, adult children, Middles, Littles, and the infant.
Tis the life the Father gave me, and I am blessed to walk in it.
Did I mention the child training?

"Who am I? Nobody special; just a flawed wife and mom, daughter, sister, and friend chosen by YHVH to follow and tell about him."

I am a Believer in the one true God and the Messiah, his Son, whose name is Yehoshua. We keep his commandments because that is what his people do.
"...God's people, those who observe his commands and exercise Yehoshua's faithfulness."
Revelation 12, 14, 22
