Prenatal Care: Don't Take Any Supplement Without Asking Your Doctor

When I became pregnant with my first child, I was so excited! I also had a lot to learn. I was having a lot of back pain during pregnancy, so I was eager to find a natural supplement that could help it. I found one at the local health food store that looked like it might work, so I bought it. I then went home and was just about to try a dose when I found a warning on the bottle that said it should not be taken during pregnancy! I almost took it before I noticed that warning, and I felt relieved I caught it before I put my baby in danger. I created this blog to remind all pregnant mothers that even natural supplements should be cleared by your doctor before you take them. They still contain natural chemicals that may not be safe to take during pregnancy.
