Supplements I’m Taking During My Pregnancy

After my second pregnancy loss, I made a ton of lifestyle changes for fertility and have continued to carry those into this pregnancy. I feel like they have made a world of a difference because overall this pregnancy has been pretty smooth (not counting all the emotional stuff I’ve gone through).

Not only am I working with new doctors this time around, but I’ve been working with an amazing nutritionist who has helped me heal my body (and soul 😌) from both my losses as well as manage my PCOS. They’ve been crucial to my pregnancy.

The key thing here is that I am working with someone and not just taking stuff because I found it in a blog post on the internet. What may work for me may or may not work for you, so if you’re in a similar boat I’d strongly recommend consulting your wellness team. I’m not handing out medical advice in any way, just sharing what has been working for me.

That being said, here’s a look at all the supplements and meds I’ve been on during my pregnancy.

Specifically for Pregnancy

• Prenatal multivitamin: Nature’s Sunshine Prenatal
• Folate: FolaPro (if you’re wondering why folate and not folic acid check out this article from Wellness Mama)
• Fish oils: Cod Liver Oil, Tuna Omega-3 Oil, and Calamari Omega-3 Oil
• For 💩 probs: Psyllium Husk Fiber Therapy
• For morning sickness: Phosfood Liquid – I took this through week 17 until my nausea completely subsided.
• Low-Dose Aspirin – My OBGYN has me taking this daily, and I’ll stop taking it around 36 weeks if not sooner. This is to help with clotting and other pregnancy complications.
• Estradiol and Progesterone suppositories (not pictured) – Prescribed by my Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE), she had me on this through my first trimester. This was to help my pregnancy stick.
• Neti Inhaler – Used to help with getting over the nasty cold I got, pregnancy rhinitis, and allergies. I have one on my nightstand and one in my purse, and I use it as needed.

Other Supplements & Meds

These supplements have basically been part of my regular protocol from day one. I take them in addition to all the other stuff specifically for pregnancy. It’s a lot to swallow. 🤣

• For sugar regulation: Gymnema
• For digestion/heartburn: Betaine Hydrochloride
• For overall immune health: Echinacea Premium
• For pain/holding my adjustments: Boswellia Complex and Salagesic
• To get that extra D: Vitamin D-3

All the Standard Process supplements, as well as my FoloPro, are acquired through my nutritionist. Everything else can be bought on Amazon or elsewhere.
