Help it thrive during pregnancy, here’s how:
♥ Take MSM daily in water with a squeeze of lemon juice.
♥ Avoid eating trans fatty acids and hydrogenated oils and excess omega 6’s. Not only is it bad for the baby, it will lessen your body’s ability to expand without scarring.
♥ Make unrefined raw coconut oil a part of your diet

♥ In a separate pot mix a teaspoon of honey, a spoonful of MSM crystals dissolved in a spoonful of water, pinch of salt and 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract.
♥ Once both pots at same temp, slowly pour the water mix into the oil mix. Stirring gently. Remove from heat and continue to stir very gently every few minutes.
