shalom friends this is miami your naturopathic herbalist and i'm going to be sharing with you the second lesson in this series on fibroids uterine fibroids and in this lesson specifically we're going to talk about uterine fibroids during pregnancy because this is you know a very female disease pregnancy is possibly something that you can be going through while you are suffering from fibroids and sometimes fibroids can cause complications during pregnancy and labor and women are actually at a sixth time they're actually six times at greater risk of needing a cesarean section if they have fibroids fibroids can also contribute to infertility if they are very bad if they're severe and it's harder for an egg to become fertilized and then implant itself in the lining of the uterus if the woman has a large and hard fibroid there where it's trying to implant itself surgery cannot be performed once a woman is already pregnant because this can be a danger to the baby and it can lead to too much blood loss and preterm labor now it's long been thought that fibroids increase the risk of miscarriage during the first and second trimester but there's been new meta-analysis that has shown that there is actually no significant increase in spontaneous miscarriage risk among women with fibroids compared to those without the issue is more of getting pregnant not having a miscarriage in the early trimesters now fibroids may increase increase the risk for preterm labor or complications during delivery including obstruction of the birth canal and remember you know fibroid can be very small and it can also be very big it can be the size of you know grapefruit or something like that if they're very severe however not every woman with fibroids who becomes pregnant will experience any serious complications or symptoms and actually 75 they say that 75 of all women will experience some kind of fibroids in their lives so fibroids are actually very common i'd say they're not necessarily something to worry about if it's not very severe not very large i think at any stage if you do realize that you have fibroids and it's causing you any kind of discomfort or symptoms you should definitely do something about it because you know of course i believe that every sickness that one goes through is a weakness in one's immune system or one's body attempting to cleanse itself or deal with the toxins or the just the bad situation that the person may be in okay so it's every discomfort every pain you know everything is your body usually trying to tell you something okay so fibroids can increase in size during pregnancy due to increased levels of estrogen you know that may also have to do with whether or not you're having a male or female now bleeding and abdominal pain might also occur during pregnancy if the fibroid begins to lose its blood supply and you know definitely any time that you are in pain especially during pregnancy something definitely to pay attention to and of course doctors will will likely recommend more ultrasounds than normal if you have fibroids now in the last lesson or the first lesson actually which was the last one that i did on fibroids anyways i talked about two of the most important things that need to be done right away if you have fibroids if i had fibroids if anyone had fibroids and they were juicing and cleansing and um i talked about i think i remember correctly i think i talked about the grisham method and i also gave a free resource that's online it was a pdf book and also some videos about starting with colon cleansing but you know by uh master herbalist richard schultz i'm focusing on colon cleansing oth and also other types of cleansing for the body so juicing and cleansing and the purpose for juicing was to give your body the nutrition that it needs in order to heal and the purpose for cleansing is to get rid of all the toxins that your body is having to deal with that the fibroids may actually be a response to maybe when your body can't heal itself it will often respond by giving you a disease or giving you some kind of discomfort or symptom and this this is the case also with cancer and you know but metabolic diseases as well you're not giving it what it needs and you're giving it too much of things that are toxic for it so then the question is are these two things safe to do while pregnant and my answer is yes while i am pregnant i do both juicing and cleansing i do juicing and cleansing whether i'm pregnant or not or whether i'm breastfeeding or not so juicing and cleansing are completely safe of course i'm legally supposed to tellall my you know health coaching clients that you know they should check with a doctor and blah blah blah don't do anything unless a doctor approves blah blah blah but for myself also that i do not see conventional medical doctors and when i give birth i have a midwife at home so i would have no problems doing any juicing or cleansing i would not even check with the doctor to see if that's necessary because i know myself i know about holistic health and healing and i trust i trust that process now if you have any kinds of allergies or anything like that you know that is certainly something to consider and also the thing about juicing is if you're not used to juicing if the very first time you've everjuiced will be that time you may have a severe reaction to it such as vomiting because and that happens sometimes even in my family if we haven't juiced in a long time and we take a lot of fresh juice sometimes a nauseous effect may happen or sometimes even maybe one of my smaller children may throw up and so for me that's not a sign that there's something wrong it's just a sign that it's a shock and it may have been too much for my body or for my child's body at that time so what we'll do is we'll if you juice regularly then it's okay but if you haven't used in a long time or if it's your first time juicing i would say start small start with maybe just one type of vegetable something easy like maybe just carrots you know you can even start with apples or oranges but really what you need is the greens so maybe add a cucumber in there maybe do some apple juice and blend it with some spinach or kale or you know something like that some some greens um and and start very small i mean we could start with maybe a quarter cup and then work yourself up to a half cup for my family when we juice we'll make a lot and then the big people will have maybe one to one and a half cups of juice maybe even two one to two cups of juice and then the smaller children will have less than that depending on their size and weight and age okay so and in terms of cleansing i colon cleanse all throughout my pregnancy um sometimes i will do a liver cleanse um once in a while i'll throw in some herbs for kidney cleansing regardless of whether i'm pregnant or not if i feel like you know i need certain things now now if you are pregnant always best and why is to just start with small doses and see how your body reacts but let me just say that herbs and vitamins juicing and cleansing are thousands of times safer than the injections i don't want to say the word the injections and the pharmaceutical drugs that doctors usually advise women to take while they are pregnant for various reasons for example i had a very kind of a rare disease when i was pregnant called pups p-u-p-p-p-s i forgot what the acronyms stood for but and when i told my medical doctor about it she recommended steroidal cream and that has side effects and i was like i'm not going to take that and so i researched on my own herbs that i could take um to to do it you know research what the cause of it was and it was basically an excess of this isn't always why but for me i believe it was because of an excess of male hormones in my system so i would get these pups women who get the pups they more often get it when they are having a boy when they're pregnant with a boy and that happened to me as well i would get it when i had girls but i would get it more severely when i was pregnant with a boy so anyways it doesn't matter though whether the pups is from an excess of hormones or an excess in some other type of toxin a cleanse is going to help to combat that so i i took some colon and liver cleansing herbs to fight that and i was able to safely with these herbs get rid of the problem myself i only need that needed the medical doctor for the diagnosis of what it was but actually even now you know after having been nervous for a long time i don't i wouldn't even need really much of a diagnosis i know that most issues have to do with a lack of proper nutrition and a need to cleanse and detoxify your body now that concludes this specific lesson and basically this lesson is to dispel fear in holistic health and healing methods during pregnancy and you know legally even though legally i have to advise people especially when i'm counseling with them personally to check with her doctor blah blah blah telling you i believe it's a thousand times safer than anything any pharmaceutical drug that any medical doctor can prescribe to you in terms of whether you need c-section or not unless your that fibroid is very big and very painful you know if it's not that big um i would say you might you know and i would definitely work with the doctor about that butyou know c-section or not you just have to take care of your own health and also your baby's health c-section is not the end of the world although natural birth is better however if you do have to have essie section one of the problems especially when of course the recovery time is much more it's much longer with a c-section which can be hard so i would make sure to make sure that you do what you can if you can to make surethat you still be able to breastfeed because oftentimes when women have c-sections they're not able to breastfeed because recovery is very painful  so that's i think i would say that's one thing to watch out for because breastfeeding is so important for you and your baby if you can't if for some reason you can't breastfeed right away pump pump for your baby so that at least they can get some of your breast milk in a bottle but as soon as you can start putting your baby on the breast and another thing that i would uh really watch out for is something that is harmed by a c-section is is the baby's gut health because when a baby is born vaginally the baby gets a natural boost of immunity through the mother's gut flora as the baby is passing through the birth canal there's a lot of good bacteria in your vagina that the baby basically inhales you know through their nose and maybe through their mouth which they pick up while they're going through your birth canal so that is one thing that you will probably have to deal with if you give birth that way um a very important way to combat that is when they're older i don't know i'm not sure if i would start it right when they're born but at some point you know you can give them baby probiotics i would probably start that at like at least maybe one month wait at least one month maybe even more but if you breastfeed also they're goingto get a lot of good nutrients for their immunity another thing is i do not bathe my baby for like a month i'll just spot clean my baby in certain places where they're dirty and i will i will wash their their bottom you know whenever they go poo so you know that those kinds of germs and bacteria are gone but the kind that is in your house is very safe for the baby and they need good bacteria from their environment in order to build and maintain a healthy immune system so do not be obsessed at sanitizing yourself or your baby now you know i'm not saying to be a slob but i'm saying don't be a clean freak this is one of the reasons why our gut health today in the quote unquote modernized world it's one of the reasons why our health is so bad it's because we have such poor gut health and also to avoid antibiotics because that also kills gut health and good gut health is going to be important for your baby's immunity and it's also going to be important for your own health as well for the mother's health as well and the last thing that i would like to recommend in closing for this lesson is the book called natural childbirth the bradley way by susan mccutchen this is going to be the best preparation i know to have a natural childbirth it'll tell you the timing it'll tell you exactly what's going on in your body each step of the way if you can i would get a midwife so you can give birth safely at home and i would interview at least three of them and then choose the best one for you i have found that the older midwives that have been practicing longer tend to have more confidence in helping women that may have certain problems for example i i interviewed a midwife once and i asked her about rich babies how how does she feel about breech babies and she's like that's no problem whereas a younger midwife who hasn't been practicing long she said something like oh you immediately have to go to the and probably get a c-section because you have a reach reach breath and so that's just the difference in experience between the two so an older more experienced person is probably going to be better if you have if you have complications but always remember you have to take your health into your own hands and if you feel that you want to do something you have the right to and if you feel like you want to go to see a doctor then you should follow your conscience you are your your master your own master um you don't have to you can get a second opinion no matter who you're talking to okay so that's all for this lesson and i'm gonna be talking in the future lesson i think i'll do one or two more on this subject of fibroids are we talking about nutrition both ortho-molecular nutrition which is vitamin therapy megadose vitamin therapy as well as nutrition in terms of what you um should eat and not eat and also someother lifestyle issues that that you may have to deal with so it'll probably be maybe one or two more lessons on this subject and for anyone who doesn't know yet and listening to this podcast for the first time or this lesson or video or however way you found me i do do holistic health
