How My Friend Got Pregnant After a Micarriage
My friend recently confided in me that she is pregnant, which was really a surprise. Not because she couldn't get pregnant, but I knew she and her husband tried for month after her miscarriage with no luck. She tried everything it seems, even as far as the superstitious tricks like eating honey before sex, taking an aspirin, or even dressing up like your back in high school and doing it in the back seat of your car (ok, funny but won't work!). Of course I asked her if she was checked out by the doctor first, and she said of course, duh. That's the first thing you should do! And have the hubby checked out as well since his sperm may not be active enough.
So how did she really get pregnant, even after the miscarriage? Although she was trying all the standard things like timing her sexual relations when she was ovulating, raising her hips for 20 minutes after sex, and even having her husband wear loose fitting underwear even though he hates it, she still couldn't get pregnant. Finally she found some information on the internet about a method that relies more on good health of the mother, eating right and taking vitamins, and quitting the bad stuff like coffee and eve most chocolate (say it ain't so!). Sounds pretty extreme, but she said that seemed to make the difference for her.
Knowing how stressed out she was after her miscarriage, I asked her how that was possible to be so calm and relaxed now. That was part of how she got pregnant, this new program she was going by was about holistic healing of the body, which lessens the stress levels. Also it's about eating right, taking vitamins, even a few herbs that I haven't heard of before, and learning to really be healthy both in mind and body. She seemed like a new person, but of course all women are when they're pregnant, right?
When I asked her for more details she admitted she was seeing someone for acupuncture treatments, which I also didn't know anything about. That was part of the holistic thing as well, finding a balance in everything on a daily basis. She was even meditating for 30 minutes a day! Wow, I never thought she would get into that, but I suppose when a woman has her sites set on getting pregnant after her miscarriage it's a mission more than anything.
Of course I was really happy for her and her whole family was as well – they thought she looked healthier than she ever had before. I had to agree, too. Pregnancy really agrees with a woman if that is truly what she is seeking, and after losing one child she was ready to get pregnant fast again.
