MoonDragon's Pregnancy Information
POSTPARTUM CARE - FATIGUE


For "Informational Use Only".
For more detailed information, contact your health care provider
about options that may be available for your specific situation.




Even the fittest of women find they tire easily during the weeks and months after the baby's birth. Between recovering from the birth and the added stresses of caring for a newborn baby (and any other children in the household as well), it can be physically exhausting and mental stressing. Trying to take on too much, too soon, can exhaust you and make any emotional letdown even worse. Save your energy to care for yourself and your baby (and other children, if you have any). Alternate an hour of activity with an hour of resting with your feet up. Usually, by the end of the fourth week, you should be up to full activity, and in 2 to 3 months, you will feel altogether like yourself again. Here are some suggestions:

  • Get quality sleep whenever you can. You may have to take a nap during the day (when the baby is napping) to help you with getting through your routine. Sleep when the baby sleeps. If this is not possible, at least put your feet up and close your eyes. Take any opportunity you can to rest, even when you have visitors. Your family and friends will understand and can entertain themselves.

  • If you are tired because of night feedings with your baby, you may consider having the baby next to your bed in his or her portable bed and taking him or her out and breastfeeding while laying down with the baby. I found that keeping my baby in bed with me over the first several weeks helped me with my nightly rest and helped with nightly feedings since my breast was at hand for the baby to latch onto. It was easy and convenient and really helped me in getting the rest I needed for my daily activities (I had 4 other children and my biggest kid, my husband, to take care of besides the newborn). I never had problems with rolling over on the baby or smothering him when he slept with me (common fears expressed for sharing your bed with the baby). I was always aware of him whenever he moved or squirmed or made any noise since I kept him next to me nestled underneath my arm, next to my body. The baby finds this soothing too since he can smell you and feel your body warmth. During the day I would have him in a sling next to my body or in his portable bed in the room I was working in. When he needed to feed I would take time out and sit in my rocking chair with him and take a breather from chores.

  • Make sure you eat a well rounded diet to keep your energy up. If you are breastfeeding, you need 600 more calories a day than when you are not breastfeeding. It is recommended you continue with your prenatal dietary guidelines after the birth of your baby and while you are breastfeeding your baby. Drink plenty of fluids (especially necessary if you are breastfeeding). Do not skip meals. Now is not the time to crash diet. You need food for fuel and to help your body to recover from giving birth. You may want to continue with your prenatal vitamins or take a good multivitamin and mineral complex supplement.

  • Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat a diet consisting of 75 percent raw foods, organically grown if possible (avoid foods that have been treated with pesticides and other sprays), plus lentils, beans, seeds, nuts, and whole grains, including brown rice and millet, and also non-acid forming fruit, such as bananas, all berries, peaches, apples, and melons. Raw foods are particularly important because cooking depletes foods of their vital enzymes.


  • Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower. Also, consume yellow and deep-orange vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, squash, and yams.


  • Consume plenty of live juices. Juicing is extremely beneficial for supplying nutrients. Green drinks made from leafy greens such as kale, spinach, beet greens, and carrot and beet root juice, should be consumed on a daily basis, with garlic and onion added. Kyo-Green from Wakunaga is an excellent green drink product that contains chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Take this drink three time daily. Wheatgrass is a rich nutritional food and blood cleanser. It reduces abnormal cell growth and fights unfriendly bacteria.


  • MoonDragon's Nutritional Therapy: Juicing

    Daily nutritional "smoothies" made of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as fresh juices are particularly good and beneficial and easy to digest. Supplemental nutrients, oils, powders and extracts can be added to the juice or smoothie for easier intake and digestion.

  • Take your baby out for a walk around the block. The fresh air will help you feel less tired, and combined with the movement it will help you both sleep better at night.

  • It is important to have a plan for help when you have your baby. This could be immediately after the baby is born at home or when you bring the baby home from the hospital. Have you partner/husband take a week off or have another family member or a friend(s) help as much as possible. If this is not available and you can afford outside help, some people (midwives, apprentice midwives, doulas, home health care providers) will supply postpartum maternity home health care for fee. Even a few hours a day or a week will help you to catch up on rest and household duties. Believe me, the housework will wait for you and you should not be expected to be a "super mom".

    Suggestions to give family or friends who offer to help:
    • Provide a family meal.

    • Watch the baby while you take a nap or shower.

    • Feed the baby (if you are not breastfeeding).

    • Babysit while you and your husband go out for a meal and spend a little "together time" with each other.

    • Do grocery shopping, run errands, drive you to the midwife or health care provider appointments.

    • Do household duties, such as cleaning, laundry, dishes, changing beds, etc.

    • Spend quality time with other household children so you can rest and just take care of the new baby.


    If you do not have friends or family that will help, limit their visitations or consider a ban on house guests. If you do not get along with a family member (such as your mother-in-law), do not invite them over. If the guest is more of a burden than a help, it is best to delay an extended visit.

    OTHER REASONS FOR FATIGUE

    If you find that you cannot sleep, have lost interest in doing anything, and feel despairing, you could be suffering from postpartum depression. Call your midwife or health care practitioner for a referral to a therapist.

    Anemia may also cause fatigue. If you were anemic during pregnancy or lost a lot of blood at delivery, your midwife or health care practitioner may advise to you to continue taking prenatal vitamins and separate iron supplements. It is important you maintain a well-balanced nutritional diet after you give birth.

    Postpartum fatigue can sometimes be a symptom of an underactive thyroid gland, also known as hypothyroidism. A small percentage of women develop this condition four to eight months after giving birth. Talk to your health care provider or midwife if your fatigue gets worse around this time. Hypothyroidism is treatable.





    BENEFICIAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

    BOOSTING YOUR ENERGY

  • Use a vitamin B complex supplement to help you boost your energy. The stress-B vitamins are important during this time and a deficiency can cause a tired feeling. B vitamins relieve stress and depression.

  • Skullcap tincture provides deep, refreshing sleep. Skullcap calms the nerves. It has traditionally been used internally for nervousness and convulsions, irritability, insomnia, and neuralgia. Skullcap may act as a sedative, to relax spasms, lower fever and stimulate the kidneys, and has anti-toxic effects. Skullcap is an excellent tonic for the nervous system. It is good for treating anxiety, insomnia, and nervous headache. Take up to 30 drops of commercial tincture (from dried plants) or 5-15 drops of fresh plant tincture half an hour before going to bed. An infusion of the dried plant nourishes and strengthens the nerves. Drink two cups daily for several months if your nerves feel frayed and you are easily upset.

    ST. JOHNS WORT SUPPLEMENT

    St. John's Wort is mainly used for the treatment of mild to moderate depression. It has been proven in many European clinical studies to be a natural antidepressant and is widely used for this reason. St. John's Wort is the most popular anti-depressant in Germany, where one brand alone outsells Prozac seven to one. In 1996, the British Medical Journal summarized the results of over 20 studies on the herb which compared it to placebos and anti-depressant drugs. St. John's Wort not only outdid the placebos, it showed similar results to the drugs, but with fewer side effects. St. John's Wort contains the compound Hypericin which has been used as an anti-depressant since 1942. The tranquilizing quality of this compound increases blood flow to stressed tissue. This sedative effect relieves pain, anxiety and nervous tension. Among the uses for St. John's Wort are a variety of conditions such as chronic fatigue and mental burnout. Some research also suggests that St. John's Wort may reduce the growth of tumors. Consult with your health care provider if you are using anti-depressant medication before using this herb.

    TakeHerb: PZ 100 Mood Enhancement, 60 Caps
    Stress can be combated with several ingredients such as DHEA and St. John’s Wort. Clinical research has shown that DHEA can significantly improve the well being of an individual, giving them greater confidence and the ability to deal with whatever life has to offer. St. John’s Wort has been used since ancient times to relieve anxiety and depression. PZ 100 combines these two powerful stress relievers with a variety of other ingredients to promote well being, such as 5-HTP, making PZ 100 one of the strongest over the counter pills for stress relief. PZ 100 mood enhancement pills use St. John’s Wort to lessen anxiety and reduce aggressive behavior. The benefits of stress relief found in St. John’s Worts have been known for centuries but it is by combining St. John’s Wort with other strong stress relievers that makes PZ 100 much more effective than other stress relievers. This powerful formula makes it easier to concentrate without distractions, instills self-confidence, and moderates mood swings to give a better frame of mind with which to deal with life’s other concerns. It is time to feel good about yourself and put your life back in order and with PZ 100 you will have the control you need to do it.
