Hot water bots and pineapples!
Hi girls,
A while ago I read on a post that someone asked if it was safe to use a hot water bottle while ttc, I wondered too! Well, I've just been reading The Baby-Making Bible (by Emma Cannon, v good book!) and it recommend using a hot water bottle post ovulation (if you are a cold type of person) as it can help implantation!! Yay!! Book says, put not too hot HWB on lower abdomen as you relax, ideally between 4 and 6pm and for around 40 mins (don't do if pregnant!) - helps to create warm womb to help implantation!! How fantastic, what a wonderful excuse to relax with HWB after work!
I'm sure some of you ttc pro's know this but pineapple can help implatation too cos of the enzymes in it. Book says to have one serving or glass a day on an empty stomach (don't have tinned pineapple). I'll be having pineapple for breakfast tmrw then!
Hope that helps some of you on the 2ww! xxx

Yes, is good to have baths, the books recommend some essential oils to put in and help you relax, will look them up after work and post later.
Girls with the book, what do you think to the chinese medicine? will be you doing any of it?? I'm doing the practical stuff like food and HWBs and stuff, but not sure I believe in it enough to do all the visualtions and yoga etc. Theres a lovely recipe for Lamb Stew, which will have a go at this wkend as lamb is supposedly good for implantation!!
Enjoy your pineaapples today ladies!! x
On the honey front, there is an article on BE about fertility foods, and honey is one of them. Apparently newly weds were advised to have a spoonful a day to promote fertility, and that is why honeymoon is called honeymoon!
Might have to invest in The Baby Making Bible myself!
Just wanted to tell you that I did the hot water bottles for the 2ww and ate pineapple for breakfast for 5 days after ovulation and I got my BFP this month... so there may be something in it!!
I know some of you had worries about pineapple causing miscarriage, I had a good google on this too but from what I read on IVF sites, they recommend pineapple for 5 days post-ov.
But I haven't ate pineapple since those 5 days just in case!!!
Hope this info helps, even if you just try hot water bottles. Loadsa babydust xxxx
