• CDM831- Don't be discouraged, the first trimester is generally the hardest. Really tune into your body, and if it wants something cooked, make it a healthy, conscious choice. As far as the supplements, I know it's weird to hear this from a midwife a…

• Hi Viriditas, It sounds like those hormones are doing a number on you! I had a hard pregnancy with my now 9 month old into mid second trimester. Because I am a midwife assistant, I was able to get my blood checked to make sure all was well with my r…

• Bastyr University in Seattle/ Bothel Washington (state). They have a FANTASTIC program with many holistic “professions” to choose from. Also, Southwest Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in Arizona is another great one. Hope this helps!

  in Soy beans Comment by spiritedmama
• Soy beans are VERY bad for you. If there is any way to get them out of your diet, I would encourage you to do so. If you want for info. on them, you can see my website: www.taoistlife.com, at the bottom of the page, there are links to soy info. and …

• I’m a little further along than you (6 months pregnant), and struggled a bit too at the very beginning. However, I am back up to 80%+, some days are 100%, some days a little less. I have read JinJee’s pregnancy info. as well as Julie’s, and a number…

• I so agree Rawsiki…I have had the most powerful impact on those that just observed me, not the ones that I have tried to talk to. People see me, and my healthy glow, and healthy attitude (especially being pregnant), and they are inspired, and curiou…

• I haven’t shaved my pits or legs in almost 2 years. You’d be surprised how many people DON’T notice. The biggest hurdle for me was getting over it MYSELF. Nobody else has ever commented on it, gave me weird looks, etc. I wear shorts and sleeveless s…

• So true, So true doubleDlittleZ. Thank you so much for reminding me of the obvious. I know that I am not gaining this weight eating a SAD diet, potato chips, fast food, etc. It’s from eating wonderful, glorious, raw food nutrition. My body will do w…

• Thanks for the support yammygirl…I don’t think worried is the right word…more frustrated and confused. I know that I am doing the best for my body and my baby with raw, just wish my body, for once, would follow what other’s have done in the past. Su…

• Thanks for the response rawafromama…this is my second pregnancy. I had my daughter 4 years ago when I was not raw, but only ate whole foods…most everything was prepared from scratch. I had already been diagnosed with Hoshimoto’s prior to my pregnanc…

• Hi Omshanti! My uncle and aunt have lived in a yurt in WA full time for over 5 years! If you go on the inside, you would NEVER know it was a yurt. They have plumbing, electricity, and all the other amenities….kitchen, bathroom, woodstove, etc. I LOV…

  in How about a raw food diet for the economically-challenged? Comment by spiritedmama
• To keep costs down, we buy anything with a peel at Sam’s Club or Costco. It may not be organic, but at least it’s raw and I feel better knowing I can take the peel off. Greens we get from the CSA that we pay in to, as well as some other seasonals. I…

• I thought you couldn’t eat potatoes raw because they are toxic. Despite that though, I have seen a number of recipes for raw potato chips. In fact, I think queenfluff posted one on here a while back.

• How about making a raw key lime pie? Or, make a raw cookie recipe and use just enough spirulina to give it a green color without adding a “noticable” spirulina flavor. If I have any more ideas, I will let you know!

  in How old are you? Comment by spiritedmama
