Supplements and hints for pregnancy and motherhood


Parenthood doesn’t come with a manual or a map. We have to feel our way forward, learning on the job, often navigating unreliable or biased information. Amongst the flood of advice a mother may struggle to find her way forward, and to trust her instincts, do what she feels is right for her and her child.


Here we aim to help you take the unnecessary pain out of motherhood, sharing some unbiased information on basic nutritional and herbal supplements, so that hopefully you can enjoy your journey of motherhood.

AS A FATHER OF THREE KIDS I have witnessed the miracles, trials and tribulations of pregnancy, childbirth, infancy, early childhood through to teenage years. It has been both incredible as well as challenging. There’s no manual, and you learn on the job. I remember each of my children being


born, sharing their arrival closely with my partner, and I recall the feelings of holding each child for the first time. That look of I’ve been here before in their eyes, their delicious sweetness, their vulnerability, their aliveness. There’s nothing to quite prepare one for


any part of the experience of pregnancy and birth, or for the many aspects of parenthood. Sure there’s lots of advice and many stories told, but nothing gets close to the real thing. When it comes to well-being and


health, the available information can be fuzzy. It seems that health and wellness information especially is highly influenced by, and subject to, opinions, agendas, trends, the healthcare system of the day, and the corporate spin of food, neutraceutical, and pharmaceutical companies.
