I saw my acupuncturist today and she told me that I was actually 6 weeks pregnant. Apparently, you don't count from conception but you count from the first day of your last period and that would make me 6 weeks pregnant. WOW. I called Adam today and told him and he was ecstatic.
My acupuncturist Maureen makes me calm and I always leave her office feeling balanced and happy and sometimes completely out of it in a good way. She is incredible. I went to her several months ago when I was feeling out of whack and she was able to balance me within a few visits. On my first visit she told me that she didn't want to keep me as a patient forever but wanted to get me back on track and then see me occasionally to basically train my body to help itself.
She also told me that I would be able to see her throughout my pregnancy which makes me happy. I see her now about every two weeks and I feel like she has helped me more than any western doctor has ever helped me. Being a new mother she gave me some great tips to get through my weeks 6-12 of my pregnancy. Apparently, this is when most woman feel the sickest. She suggested that I eat snack throughout the day and especially protein - yogurt, nuts, hummus, etc... She also said that if you are feeling nausea then you definitely want to eat something and by doing that you will feel better. On my way home I ate crackers and when I got home I blended a quick smoothie with sherbet, juice, a banana, and frozen fruit. It was delicious and perfect because nothing sounded good.
