Juicing Forum

Hi all,
i am brand new to this forum. I am 4 weeks away from delivering our 5th baby. We deliver at home, so i have to option of juicing if i want. Does anyone know if there is a juice recipe that can help my body in labor? Possible a juice that would help with pain tolerance? Thank you

Jhayes, congratulations! Being this late in your pregnancy I wouldn't advise you to go strictly juice but adding juice to your diet now will definitely help you out. Celery juice has been known to help with pain and anti-inflammatory produce such as pomegranate, garlic, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, and blueberries will help out greatly.

I have sciatica and was supposed to go to surgery but opted for injections instead. Since I've been juicing, the pain has been at a very tolerable level and at most times unnoticeable. I stopped taking the injections and have no plans to go for surgery.

As always I would suggest asking your doctor about it to see what kind of feedback he/she might give you. But juicing will give you plenty of nutrients to help you over the next 4 weeks. Keep us updated and again, congratulations!

Thanks Jose!

Am sure you are right, even if there isn't some special recipe, i can't wait to experience labor after a couple months of Juicing! I am sure sure you are right about the extra energy. I have experienced easier and shorter births/ recovery, than all of my friends so far. Just due to overall better health. But now will juicing should really add some great benefits to me and baby! Glad to hear you are feeling so good!
