I just learned about blending dates in almond milk and cinnamon to use as creamer in coffee!

[sarahalsenidi]

I really believe in dates 🥹 As it is mentioned in Quran that God told Mary when she is in labour with Jesus to shake the palms and eat dates to ease her pain it always makes me teary when I read it 🥹 “And shake the trunk of this palm tree towards you, it will drop fresh, ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink, and put your heart at ease. But if you see any of the people, say, ‘I have vowed silence1 to the Most Compassionate, so I am not talking to anyone today.’” Surah Maryam 25-26.

Thank you for all the beautiful tips you share with us I really enjoy your videos always 🧡

I teach ESL to Chinese students, and one of my student families gave me a huge container of dates because they're "good for pregnant ladies." I had never heard of that before, but I'm so thankful for their generosity, because I love dates and now I'm learning about their benefits. Honestly, learning about Chinese prenatal and postpartum medicine is really fascinating to me and it makes a lot of sense. It's also neat to see that some traditional methods are being upheld by modern research findings.

Im having my 5th child i never used any of the fancy products ! I ate healthy, am and was always active, always and ate dates and nut through out and during last week did labour speed up exercises! So to open up cervix ud have to be very active through out and to make it easier the last 2 weeks just exercise, drink, squats, birth ball do it all !

I literally do every single one of these as well!! Pregnant with my double rainbow. And my first birth was a fast smooth 4 hour home birth and I did everything in that pregnancy as well 👏🏼👏🏼

The Mama Natural Book came out in 2018 and it was so helpful! Highly recommend it to Mamas.

Keeping active in a gentle way like walking, yoga and stretches are great for the third trimester 😃

Thank you so much I honestly had such PTSD and major anxiety from my first baby

[sandygonzalezz]

I think this is the most informational video for pre-birth. Thank you. ❤

[thedesertdaydreamer]

Love this! The third trimester was my favorite too 😊

[courtneyjeanxo]

[Loveatfirstsight]

[mariabondareva]

Great preparation video. Thank you so much for this video.

[Credo]

Love this video, great tips, Becca! These resonated with me because I do most of these preparations as well! I loved the reminder to be calm and confident during labor, and I really appreciate that you said you’re looking forward to labor. 💖 I’m overdue with baby #9 and I’m needing a boost in confidence that I can yet again do this! My only medicated birth (epidural) was my first, but all subsequent births have been unmedicated and very positive experiences (including twins). Prayers for your last few weeks and for a wonderful and smooth delivery ☺️💗

So glad I came accross this, I did some research after watching and was really shocked to find out that raspberry lt is actually supposed to be started early…. So Thanks ! I’m 22 weeks so I’ll start now !

[lilycaboverde]
