I found out I was pregnant on New Year’s Day 2023 at the age of 31. Terrified and overjoyed at the thought I prepared my mind, body and soul the best I could to receive my little one in the best way possible. I made my birthing plans, took my prenatal multivitamins, ate well and attended my birthing classes. The thing is, I had heard so many horror stories and traumatic experiences from women who looked like me that I didn’t know what to expect for my own pregnancy and birthing journey…little did I know, I’d be joining due to my own traumatic experience.
I found out that the majority of prenatal multivitamins on the market are made with synthesized vitamins an minerals. This means that our bodies don’t easily absorb the components we need to replenish our bodies and provide for our growing babies. I set out on a mission to find prenatals that were both bioavailable and sourced from REAL FOOD. It gave me the confidence I needed that I was providing my self and my baby with the best nutrition. I also continued to take my sea moss supplements since they provided me with the majority of minerals the human body needs.
Unfortunately, when I went into labor my plan to have my baby naturally in a birthing pool was stifled. I simply was not dilating and my baby’s heart rate was starting to fall. I was transferred to a popular local hospital and rushed into an emergency c-section. In the end, it was all worth it to bring my precious little one into the world safely. Thankfully, I had no complications during my pregnancy due to my due diligence with my nutritional regimen which aided me in my darkest hour of laboring.
I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. So, I set out on a journey to provide other mama’s with the optimal nutritional support while on their own pregnancy journeys. I created Moss Mama and have sourced the best quality whole food based products, vitamins and supplements. All ingredients sourced from Mother Nature that truly nurture.
