I got a handout from my midwife as well, and I am doing many things off the list. She says the first line of defense is to maintain a healthy immune system. And a good way to promote that is healthy bacteria in our intestinal tract and vagina. I am currently taking two probiotics orally and I have a 7 day vaginal suppository regimen with probiotics that I just started. Other suggestions include:
raw garlic (at least two cloves/day)
colloidal silver
grapefruit seed extract
Vit C
zinc
colostrum tablets
other immune supporting herbs
inserting probiotic pills vaginally
vaginal washes with chlorohexidine (surgical soap) done every 4-6 hours during labor
vaginal washes with colloidal silver
Hope that helps!
Have a great day everyone!
