Successful and energetic pregnancy with Yoga and raw food

Energetic Pregnancy

It is so amazing! As you all know I'm expecting to give birth within the next week or so... and I still feel so vibrant and alive, that I sometimes even forget that I'm actually pregnant!

Qkay, the belly is in the way sometimes, but it is still managebale. It is the smallest belly I had so far, and I'm very much interested in how big the baby is going to be.

My other children were all 8 pounds and Benny even 9 pounds!
With Ronja my 3 child I had an almost 100% raw pregnancy, the birth was easy and fast and Ronja was 8 pounds.I felt really alive with her as well, but this time it is even more!
Sometimes it seems like I'm becoming fitter every day...maybe that is an actual natural thing?



It would make sense to me. Just imagine living thousands of years ago...there was no time to have long births and being weak.
You probably had to give birth pretty fast and be able to walk soon after. Just think of all the dangers back than!
I felt good during my whole pregnancy, I never had morning sickness, which I think is just a way for the body to detox! But, if you are a raw woman,

it could be a sign for B12 deficiency.I ate a high raw diet with lots of green juice, fats (lilke avocados, coconuts and high quality cold pressed oils) and ripe fruits.

I took an B12 supplement for prevency. I had lots of coconutwater and every now and then some potatoes, tofu and vegetable rice. During phases I loved cacao- raw chocolate, which I think is because of the magnesium.I had lots of sunshine the last months, which I think is really important in terms of vitamin D.


I find it quite strange that today everything about child birth and pregnancy is about making women feel ill and weak.
Just take the pregnancy.when you do it the "standard" way you have to go to the doctor quite often, the give all kind of supplements "you have to take", otherwise you apparently risk having an not good developed child.

Then there is the birth, you go to hospital and they want you to lay down, to give the doctors a better view (and control!!), but makes it unnessassary hard for the woman. Just think about gravity!

The only position to give birth in which is even more worse than lying down is to deliver during making a handstand.
You should be upright to support your child with finding its way out!


Anyway, Im going to enjoy my last pregnant days, because I know everything is going to change after birth.
