So, what was the root cause?
At this point I should say my son was a wonderful surprise pregnancy! This meant that I had absolutely zero preconception care. No quality vitamins, poor diet, toxic body and household products, and some medications that were not recommended during early pregnancy. All of this, plus a gene mutation (MTHFR) that I didn’t know about at the time, would have severely impacted his health before and during pregnancy.
Looking back, with the information I know now, his toxic load would have been huge!
The following two years taught me so much about preventative, natural health and just how important preconception care is for our children.
I used this information to help enhance my second child’s health with the aim to avoid the same health problems that my first son had.
It worked!
I then completed further education to qualify as a Natural Fertility Educator to help other families improve their health to enhance their children’s health.
I am truly grateful for my experience. Although it was traumatic for all involved, it has given our family lifelong health values and the power to care for ourselves with a holistic and natural approach.
