Pregnancy, as every one knows, is the process of growing a child. How that child grows depends on genetics, what the mother eats and what drugs the mother takes. Every drug alters the genetic structure or weakens the DNA and RNA of some young cells. Therefore, it is best not to take drugs, especially during pregnancy.

The stress factors are tremendous during pregnancy. Not only is the mother responsible for carrying the extra being, her body also feeds the child and discards the child's wastes. The placenta calls out for and leaches protein and other nutrients from the mother's body, via the production of certain hormones, if what the fetus needs is not present in the blood. Many women nowadays age 2-8 years with each pregnancy, resulting from the leaching process.

To prove how important utilizable proteins are during pregnancy, take a look at how many women lose muscle tone during and shortly after pregnancy. Muscle tissue is not the only tissue that is leached from the mother if utilizable protein isn't available in the blood. Glandular, nerve, brain, arterial and bone cells are leached. Eating plenty of raw meat before and during pregnancy grows a strong healthy child (genetics allowing) and prevents the mother from sacrificing her body for her child.

Morning Sickness

Nausea during pregnancy indicates that the mother's system is too acidic and toxic. Eating red meat may cause more nausea and vomiting even if the red meat is raw. Therefore, if experiencing morning sickness, it is best to follow the suggestions in Alkalinizing food, and eat raw white meat, especially raw fish, with pineapple or other fruit.

Many women who cannot discard the combinations of wastes - fetal and their own - during pregnancy usually bloat with fluids or get fat during or after pregnancy. They retain the wastes within their bodies bound in difficult-to-discard cooked fat, and in fluids. Eating plenty of raw fat before and during pregnancy usually prevents bloating and fat retention, However, if bloating or fat retention occurs when eating raw fat, it usually gives women more strength, The fluid and fat can be more readily discarded within months after birthing when fat is eaten raw.

After bathing, massaging stone-pressed olive oil or cold-pressed below-93° Fahrenheit peanut oil into thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen and breasts daily reduces or eliminates the formation of stretch marks (scars). Wipe off excess after 15-20 minutes.

Sexual intercourse with orgasm during the eighth month often makes the blood too rich in hormones for the fetus to properly establish brain functions. Kissing and petting without orgasm is good. (It might be a sensitive gesture for the man also to refrain from having orgasm.)
