My Shaklee baby Pregnancy Blog!

[PilotWifey]

Well Im so excited to be pregnant this time around. Things are going to be different! Ive been a Shaklee supplement user for 7 months now and just found out im pregger's again on Feb 20th, 2009! Im going to keep track of what I use during this pregnancy (supplements), keep a diet record, and log any symptoms along the way! I feel I owe this to myself this time around. I definitely was not the healthiest momma with my past two pregnancies and I want to put my Shaklee to the test!

Feb. 20th 2009- I started using Shaklee's Vitalizer w/ Iron! So far so good! It has Vita-Lea (Multivitamin with Iron), B+C complex (all the B vitamins and Vitamin C), Caroto-E-Omega (all the Omega's and EPA/DHA), and the Optiflora Probiotic (the good bacteria!).

The first day I burped up alot of the fish oil's. (Yuck, lol) 3 Days later and its not bothering me anymore. Thank goodness! LOL....I hate the smell of fish anyways but I know its good for the baby's brain and joint health.

Something I noticed today~ Febuary 23rd~ Im having at least 3 BM's a day now. Probably because of the Probiotic's. Ive heard you are supposed to have at least 3 to 5 a day, so I guess this is a good thing! Today I took some Shaklee Cinch protein shake with Vanilla Rice Milk! That was so yummy! I was getting light headed and was told to try more protein. So far so good!

2-26-09 Today was a good day. Took my Vitalizer with a Cinch Strawberry Protein Shake! Yum. Also took some Alfalfa. I love that stuff! Its getting late now so im going to get ready for bed and take my Shaklee Calcium before bed. Im getting really tired throughout the afternoon's now...Nap time a must! :)

Oh, and I decided after C'ing an infomertial that I want to buy a juicer! I want to try to drink my 5 veggies and 4 fruits a day. I dont know...we will C what hubby thinks.

2-27-09 Havent really slept real well in weeks. I wish I could get one good nights sleep. I dont know whats happening....when It should be time to pass out my legs and body is waking up! Weird. :(

(Took some Shaklee Gentle Sleep complex last night. Helped alittle.)

02-28-09 Today is the first day that I noticed I felt alittle sick after dinner. I took a 3 hours nap with the kids and when I woke up I was feeling pretty ill. So I cooked dinner and after eating .....Oh...wasnt sure it was going to stay put for a few minutes. Im good now though! I called for a doctor last week and couldnt find one I liked so this Monday im going to call the hospital I want to deliver at and see if they have any referrals. Oh and Hubby thinks a juicers a great idea....just have to save up for one! And took my Vitalizer as usual this morning. Everything rollin along well so far!

3-3-09 Wow! I have been so nauseated the past 3 days! This is so awful. I get up in the morning and start the day and im sicky feeling then it goes away...then later returns for a couple hours...then goes away...etc etc..for 3 days. I havent gotten sick but sure feels like I might sometimes. With my past pregnancy's I was throwing up alot for months and months...Im hoping this doesnt happen this time. We shall C! To be continued..............lol :)

 3/8/09 Well been feeling really sick this week...feels like motion sickness. Still taking my vitamins (Vitalizer in the morning) and calcium at night....sometimes my Alfalfa during the day. Im having a hard time swallowing pills without wanting to b sick. Brushing the teeth is getting harder to complete as well! Still havent thrown up so I guess so far im doing better then the past pregnancy's. Oh and ive taken a nap everyday this week. When the kiddo's lay down so do I . Hubby wants me to take a trip to Arizona (by plane) in a couple weeks but im not sure a plane ride would settle well with me right now...hopefully this will be over soon! Later...........:)

PS...really weird but im showing alot sooner this time around....I look alot further along...I wonder.......

3-11-09 Today is the first day in awhile that i woke up and didnt feel instantly sick!!! YAY!!!! Maybe im on my way to feeling better!

3-23-09 Its been too long.....We'll I didnt go to Arizona because I was way to sick and really couldnt see myself being away from my kids for 4 days. I know thats something I really need to work on! Time for myself!! lol........So far this pregnancy has been better then the past ones but still feeling ill. NO PUKING YET!!! Thats a first...lol...I am experiencing headaches every few days that pretty much stop all progress with anything. Ive been taking Tylenol but im going to purchase some Shaklee Pain Relief since its all natural and try that....I want to see if it works the same or better and if it does im switching to that. Still drinking my Shaklee cinch protein shakes...helps with my stomach aches...and trying really hard to stick to my A blood type diet..otherwise tummy aches like crazy. Good news is that on this Wednesday the 25th I go to the doctor for my first check up and they are going to do an ultrasound. YAY!!! For now! :)

3-26-09 Soooooo yesterday I had my first doctors check up for this pregnancy. It went surprisingly well. For the first time in years (due to Shaklee suppliments) my urine was clean and no UTI in site! My examination went well with no pain....which I used to have since I can remember....and I was told that my C-section scar from my daughters birth looks really well. It never really appeared to be 100% until now. I left the doctors office so excited and shocked at the report of good health!!! Ive never had an easy pregnancy or a healthy one for that matter! Oh, and when I mentioned to the OB/GYN that im using Shaklee for my prenatal care she seemed thrilled. She said she had heard of Shaklee and was completely 100% all for this. Im so happy right now. Things seem to be better this time around. Now if I could only figure out how to fix ALL-day sickness (instead of morning sickness) we will be fine! lol..............enough for now!

April 4th 2009 Well let me just say that Shaklee EZ-Gest is saving my LIFE! I feel sooooo much better! The sick feeling is getting better every day since ive starting using it! Yay for EZ-GEst!

4-18-09 Im 13 weeks and 2 days today! Moving right along! Ive noticed if I dont eat a huge or hard to digest meal to late in the evenings its easier to get through the night. The sickness I was experiencing has been taken care of by the Ez-gest and changing the diet in the evening! Ive been suffering with headaches that I believe to be coming on due to back issues. Ive been trying to stretch daily and I take naps and go to bed at night with cold or hot on my neck and back. I just ordered some Chewable Cal Mag from Shaklee and its on a short backorder.. :(  Chewable Calcium helps with headaches so im hoping this will help plus the baby and me could use more Calcium im sure! :) I also stopped taking Vitalizer for the moment and im taking Vita Lea w/o Iron and adding the Iron Plus C formula. This change has helped also .... I think. :) So hard to tell sometimes... Pregnancy is so weird sometimes! Enough for now!!! :)

April 21st 2009 Had my second check-up today ... and everything was great. Urine clean with is unlike me while pregnant... for some unknown reason with the last two pregnancys I had many UTI's. Not with this one so far! YAY! They couldnt find the babies heartbeat so they did an ultrasound.. and wow that baby was movin. With all the ultrasounds Ive ever had Ive never seen (at least one of my babies) be sooooo active! The lady said did you eat a bunch of sugar this morning? I said nope just my vitamins!!! She smiled and said well the baby looks great mom! I felt so proud! Oh by the way... Its a boy! I knew it was ... I could feel it! 

May 7th 2009 Well I enjoyed a Fruit smoothie with Cinch Strawberry protein today... YUM! Well this pregnancy is smooth sailing.... Im visiting family right now and they cant believe how good I look and how good I feel. The past two pregnancies were sooooo bad that they never thought this would be possible. I mean eating a meal and keeping it down.. or walking around with a smile on my face... not to mention my face looks healthier. No black circles and pale skin! Yeah for Shaklee suppliments and feeling great through pregnancy! Who knows maybe I could handle having one more after this... we'll C. :)
