Polyhydramnios info

I hope you can give me some insight on polyhydramnios..my daughter is due Sept.19th and has been told she has polyhydramnois...is ther some info or herbs she could be taking??  I hope you can shed some light on this.. thank you

Hello,
 
I do hope that your daughter is doing well. There are a number of things that can cause polyhydramnios, one of the main ones being gestational diabetes. Does she have that? If so, controlling her blood sugar levels could help out somewhat. Reducing sugars, including fruits and fruit juices, eating grains such as rice and millet and high-protein foods such as beans, cheese, yogurt, meat.
 
Currently Susun is devoting her time to her forthcoming book, “Down There, reproductive health for women and men” due out soon. I would recommend speaking with Susun during her Free hotline on blogtalkradio, Tuesday nights 7:30-9:30 pm EST. Call in with your questions 1-646-929-2463.

Enhance conception

Can you recommend a vitamin formula to enhance conception.
I have been taking "Garden of Life" Whole Food woman's formula.
 
ingredients: 
http://www.vitacost.com/Garden-of-Life-Vitamin-Code-50-Wiser-Women 
It has 100mcg of B12 and CoQ10. I have had trouble falling and staying asleep.
Very energizing, so I stopped it altogether. I lose weight when I lose sleep.
 
I am 43 and trying to conceive through IUI. I have tried 4x.
Any recommendations for vitamins, etc.
 
Can I consult with Susan?
 
Thanks dearly,
J.

 
Dear J,

Overall Susun does not recommend the use of supplements in capsule form. Many reasons, often the quality is poor, there is really so little of the active ingredient as to make them useless and the ingredients in them are but one part of a whole. Always better if one is able to get vitamins and minerals through our food and herbs. I just sent you an email with the link to making infusions but will include again as it is so important: http://www.susunweed.com/How_to_make_Infusions.htm. Basically this is the first and most important thing to begin including to create health.

For fertility, it is essential to begin with red clover infusions - you can also do red raspberry leaf, mixing 1/2 and 1/2 with the red clover and also nettle infusions which are overall extremely nourishing and provide so many essential vitamins and minerals. As I mentioned in the other email, especially at your age, the chasteberry tincture would be a great ally to include: http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Vitex_RedMoonHerbs.htm
