5 Natural Ways to Support Your Body After a Miscarriage
Rest and relaxation: After a miscarriage, it's important to allow your body to rest and recover. Give yourself time to grieve and heal, and try to avoid stressful situations or activities that may interfere with your recovery.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture can be an effective therapy for women who have experienced a miscarriage. It can help regulate hormones, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote relaxation.
Herbal remedies: Certain herbs, such as red raspberry leaf, can help strengthen the uterus and support reproductive health. Other herbs, like ginger or chamomile, can help reduce inflammation and ease discomfort.
Nutritional support: Following a miscarriage, it's important to replenish your body with key nutrients such as like iron, and vitamin D. Eating a balanced diet that is rich in whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, can help support your recovery. It’s also important to note here if you’re waiting to miscarry naturally, I would withhold taking your prenatal until your HCG levels are negative. Then recommence once levels are negative. Before your next pregnancy ensure you are taking a prenatal that has activated b vitamins in it, not just folic acid. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, and some women can struggle to convert folic acid into folate especially if they have the MTHFR gene mutation. I love Naturobest Preconception Multi for Women or if you have a confirmed homozygouse MTHFR gene mutation. I recommend Seeking Optimal Prenatal.
Counseling and support groups: Miscarriage can be a difficult and emotional experience. Seeking the support of a counselor or joining a support group can help you cope with your emotions and feelings of loss.
