Having a warm place to grow your baby is one of the healthiest things you can do prior to falling pregnant. A warm environment for your baby allows better blood and fluid flow so they develop as healthy as possible. I see so many women with cold digestive systems and cold lower abdomens, that it’s no surprise a baby hasn’t developed in there. You can’t cause bread to grow in cold oven and neither will a a baby.
How do you know if you are cold internally? Feel your abdomen below your belly button with your whole hand with a slight amount of pressure. If you feel cold underneath your palm, you have cold in your lower abdomen. Symptoms you may get include frequent urination, low back pain, digestive complaints, diarrhea and period pain.
Also, only eat warm foods. Steer clear of smoothies, acai bowls, juices and ice creams. Drink herbal teas and eat soups, broths and casseroles. Also keep a wheat heat bag on your low abdomen as often as you remember to warm you up.
Acupuncture and moxibustion directly on your lower abdomen work wonderfully well in removing cold and warming the uterus to just the right temperature for a healthy baby to grow and thrive.
