Dandelion is also very mild and safe. Milk thistle is also good for the liver, and alfalfa and rosehips for the kidneys if I recall. And I think those are all mild too, but not familiar with them during pregnancy in particular. And managing pain is definately important, so don't worry about it. Fear and stress are rough on the kidneys, lol.

I unfortunately had to manage the pain with vicodin (tylenol plus hydrocodone), which probably put quite a burden on my liver...though my docs and mw reassured me that managing the pain (so I could eat, drink and sleep) was important and that it wouldn't affect the baby as long as I kept below the limit. I'd rather not hear from everyone how that was a terrible decision (what's done is done)....right now I'm more concerned with getting myself back to full health. Can anyone suggest herbs, nutrients, or other natural approaches for recovering from this illness? I'm 24 weeks pg. Thank you. |
