Both my children were conceived deliberately with a true desire for their lives but I had postnatal depression after my first born. I felt really out of my body, really disconnected and really down; I felt pessimistic. Part of the cause, I believe, was that I had immersed myself so deeply in motherhood that I had stopped doing anything for myself.
Looking back, the prenatal and post-baby food indulgences didn't help me either and I didn't eat organic or have enough omega 3's in my system. My first born was born purple & blue with dry skin. The second time around, even though I was under a lot of emotional stress in the home, I gave birth to a little chubby 'buddha' with porcelain skin and perfect health. I learned to make the switch to organic as I was searching for ways to help my first born's skin problems and because of him I have transitioned from a hobby-nutritionist to an organic raw foodist.
I guess my first born was the original inspiration that led me to where I am now! What a gift our children are!
