Overcoming Miscarriage with Acupuncture and Herbs

I got pregnant 6 months after a miscarriage at 14 weeks. This was my second miscarriage and it was a very traumatic experience, as I had delivered a very healthy little boy in December of 06. I thought my pregnancy was progressing along nicely, but after testing we found out our baby had Downs and that is why it did not survive.

I waited 4 months to really start trying again. I was doing my temperatures even though I had not yet gone to see Amelia. A good friend of mine went to Amelia and became pregnant so I thought I'd give it a try. I was skeptical of acupuncture and all that goes along with it, but after one session with Amelia I felt so much better.

At first I was reluctant to try Chinese herbs, but after I thought about it I decided to try and I am so glad that I did. My cervical mucus increased immediately and I felt so much better overall. I cut out caffeine completely and drank mostly water. My husband did the same....(reluctantly!!!) We did not drink alcohol while we were trying to conceive.

After 3 sessions with Amelia, taking Chinese herbs and changes in my diet, I became pregnant! I am now 15 weeks and everything is going very well! Amelia became my friend and a huge support to me during this process. Through positive thoughts and weekly sessions I got through the scary first trimester!

I am a huge believer in Amelia's process and treatments. Give it time and she will get you where you want to be...have faith in the wonderful plan that is in store for all of us. The unknowing and timing is stressful but in the end it will all be worth it. I highly recommend Amelia and feel forever grateful to her for her guidance, patience and support.
