Essential Pelvic Floor Therapy for Expectant and New Mothers
01/04/2024Elevate Your Birth Experience: Why Origins Birth Stands Out
01/30/2024Pregnancy is a time when your body’s needs are dynamically changing, requiring extra care, attention, and nourishment. With increasing interest in holistic health and wellness, many expectant and new parents are seeking alternatives and supplements to traditional medical interventions. Did you know Origins Birth Center can help you enhance your pregnancy wellness with IV delivered vitamins?
Among these alternatives, Intravenous (IV) therapy has gained popularity. Origins Birth and Wellness offers a myriad of options for vitamin infusions to be sure you are getting the necessary nourishment your growing body and baby needs. Each infusion at Origins is custom made and most are safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
The Bloom of IV Therapy: A Deep Dive into its Benefits
IV therapy, a method of feeding vitamins, minerals, and other natural substances directly into the bloodstream, bypasses the digestive system, allowing for increased absorption and potency. For pregnant individuals, particularly those experiencing severe nausea or hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), absorbing necessary nutrients can be challenging. At Origins, IV therapy stands as a beacon of relief, ensuring both you and your growing baby receive essential nourishment.
What’s in the Mix? Knowing Your Origins IV Solution
However, it’s crucial to recognize that not all IV solutions are created equal. Common cocktails, especially those not specifically tailored for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, may contain ingredients that aren’t beneficial or are potentially harmful during these sensitive periods.
Ensuring your IV drips are free from high doses of vitamin A, certain detoxifying agents, or unnecessary preservatives is critical. At Origins, our solutions are customized to include pregnancy-safe components like:
- B-complex vitamins: Crucial for energy, brain function, and cell metabolism.
- Magnesium: Supports developmental processes and can aid in reducing muscle cramps or restless legs.
- Calcium: Vital for the baby’s skeletal development.
- Vitamin C: Helpful for immune support and collagen production, aiding the skin’s natural elasticity.
Safe for Nurturing: IV Therapy and Breastfeeding
The postpartum period and breastfeeding bring continued change and nutritional demands. Your body seeks to recover and provide complete nutrition for your breastfeeding baby. IV therapy can help meet these increased needs, aiding in your recovery, bolstering your immune system, and potentially improving the quality of your breast milk by filling nutritional gaps.
