WHY PREGNANCY WELLNESS MATTERS
A Strong Foundation Starts Here
During pregnancy, your body is doing something incredible—building life.
But modern challenges can make that harder than it should be:
-
Processed foods lacking nutrients
-
Hidden toxins in everyday products
-
Increased stress and hormone imbalance
-
Gut health issues affecting immunity and skin
Over 70% of your immune system is connected to your gut—making nutrition and internal balance essential not just for you, but for your baby’s development.
The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s creating a strong, clean foundation that supports both mom and baby naturally.

Shaklee Pregnancy: A Midwife's Perspective
After delivering 76 babies in the home - without anesthesia, fancy equipment, and a staff of doctors, nurses, aides and orderlies, I'm convinced that maternal nutrition is the single most important factor in the production of healthy offspring and a well mother. Shaklee mothers experience significantly less blood loss (2-3 teaspoons compared to 1 to 2 pints). Their placentas are smaller, firmer, and healthier. There is less vaginal tearing. Newborn babies are more alert, more contented and less prone to birth-related injury.
Specific points:
-
There was no colic noted in the Shaklee babies.
-
One patient ate Vita-Cal all through her labor and had almost a pain ree experience. Apparently the needs of the muscles are so intense that by supplying the calcium, she greatly reduced the sensation of contraction.
-
Childbearing years are very hard on a woman's body. Yet the women taking Shaklee food supplements had fewer complaints of constipation and vomiting. In running blood tests on these women, it was found Shaklee vitamin products were absorbed and utilized by the body. Synthetic vitamins were not.
I can't imagine anything that is more valuable to you as a parent than a healthy child. The time to invest in that child's health is while that child is developing. The cost is well worth it to have the healthiest baby you can have, because once that baby is born, there's not much you can do. You can do so much while that baby is growing inside you.
Shaklee Supplements suggested:
-
3 Tbsp. Instant Protein daily
-
2 Vita-Lea daily
-
1 Vita-E 400IU per meal
-
1 B-Complex per meal
-
4 Alfalfa per meal
-
2 Lecithin per meal
-
1 Zinc per day
-
1 Iron per meal
-
4 Calcium Magnesium per meal
-
1 Herb Lax at night for 3 weeks 2 at night until 7th month, and 4 at 8 months, 5 at 9 months. Fairly high levels of Herb Lax are recommended because half of all toxemia is caused by poor elimination.
As a woman's body starts to soften for delivery, joints are actually softened up, so when delivery starts, the baby's head can pass more easily. All organs are pushed out. Hormones soften the intestinal tract too. It becomes jammed up and pressured and has more difficulty eliminating toxins.

Nursing: Extremely important to continue with your Shaklee Supplements.

Testimony – 8 children and a super healthy family!
I have had 8 children, all Shaklee kids from the “womb to the table” and have had the following results with all of them. 2014 – my oldest is 24 and my youngest is 9. Not one has ever had an ear infection, strep throat, or needed anti-biotics at any time in their lives. These are the fantastic “side effects” of Shaklee kids! (I love the Herb-Lax, especially during the last stages of pregnancy and after the birth! It kept me open and going normally- what a blessing!)
