MC during third trimester and labor---anyone with EXPERIENCE?
Back story: I have been using
Master-Cleanse to cleanse my body and mind successfully for almost 10 years now. I have completed numerous 10 days fasts and a few 20+day fasts with excellent results. The last
Master-Cleanse I did was a 15 day back in November 09--it was one of my best cleanses EVER and less than a week after completing it I discovered that I was 6 weeks pregnant with my first little one--much to our surprise, as we were not planning for this!
So...having said that...I actually HAVE done a successful 15 day
Master-Cleanse while pregnant although I was unaware at the time, but my pregnancy has been wonderfully normal and uneventful and now I am nearing the end. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with doing the MC during their third trimester and/or during labor? I will be laboring at home until I hit the second phase or active labor and then I will be having an unmedicated, natural delivery at a birth center with a midwife--so I am allowed and encouraged to keep my energy up through labor with food and drink and was interested in doing the MC during this time for a number of reasons---ease of use, no cooking, heating, prepping--easier to consume liquids during labor than solids--if I started in the next day or so then My bowels would already have a nice cleanse and I wouldn't have to deal with that during labor and also my energy goes through the roof on the MC.
So long story short---does anyone have any experience with this? I can't see why it wouldn't be ok aside from the question of when to begin--i obviously don't KNOW when the babe is coming and its not my intent to be on the MC for longer than 2-3 days before labor begins because I would forgo my suppliments during that time--plus it is difficult to not consume solid food during pregnancy!!
any info appreciated! thanks
