Pregnancy & Birth Resources
Here are some resources for your pregnancy journey! This page includes courses, products, websites and other things that I recommend you to look into. I have done so much research and reading during my pregnancy and motherhood journey and here I'm sharing some of it with hope that it will save you some time and guesswork. There are no affiliate links, just sharing what worked for me:)
Shopping List
SUPPLEMENTS
Here is a list of some supplements I like. Although I believe that it is the best to get all nutrients from a balanced diet and superfoods, some of these could be integrated in your diet if you feel the need. I would prioritize food based supplements.
My top:
– Prenatal:
Baby & me
Seeking health: https://www.seekinghealth.com/collections/prenatal-vitaminshttps://www.seekinghealth.com/collections/prenatal-vitamins
– Omega 3 from Nordic Naturals
– Ancestral supplements. Great to take for iron (take with vit C for better absorption), vitamin B. However watch not to exceed vitamin A if you take prenatal.
– Magnesium: https://www.amazon.ca/Genestra-Brands-Vanilla-Calcium-Magnesium-Supplement/dp/B01M6USZ13/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=1F0ALGIIZIPXY&dchild=1&keywords=genestra+cal+mag+vanilla+liquid&qid=1605041274&sprefix=genestra+cal+m,aps,210&sr=8-8&linkCode=sl1&tag=healthnutnutr-20&linkId=84ee0e586f4566c48e7c5d7f63d82a92&language=en_CA
