All I needed to know about doctors I learned while pregnant with my first child. I wanted a natural birth so went with the Bradley Method. My OB did not mention nutrition even once during my whole pregnancy. Thank goodness I was brought up at a time when most women still cooked properly for their families. What you put in and on your body is everything when it comes to your health! Ditch the docs!!!

Well done! I tried to go natural with my first birth but ended up with fentanyl in my IV, and vomiting. Staff were bullies. Second birth went better. Natural. Still vomited tho, lol.

The body always knows what it needs -- YES. About food, relationships, and everything, frankly. Have you read The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk? So enlightening about trauma and its place in the body...
