Source: ParentsPlace.com, By Henci Goer Gestational diabetes (GD) simply means elevated blood sugar during pregnancy. To understand it, you must first understand the normal changes in pregnancy metabolism (34).

Gestational Diabetes: A Diagnosis Still Looking For a Disease?

Posted on May 17, 2013 by admin

By Dr Michel Odent Primal Health Research: A New Era in Health Research Nowhere in obstetrics is there such a discrepancy between evidence and practice as in the matter of gestational diabetes. This diagnosis has been mentioned briefly in several issues of our newsletter, in order to illustrate the frequent “nocebo effect” of prenatal care. (1,2,3,4) I have recently received

"Very friendly and professional service, one of the most relaxing massages I have ever had. I would definitely recommend it to all pregnant ladies."

Agata Kitlinska

"I loved this massage! So relaxing and so nice to know I was in safe hands with someone who knows what they're doing for a pregnant woman. I look forward to having a few more leading up to the birth :) "

Camila Lunardon

"Lovely massage, was just what I needed and would recommend at any stage of pregnancy."

Helen Bamborough

"Amazing!!! I was a bit sceptical about the whole pregnancy massage as I've heard different stories from other places, but after visiting Mumanu, I felt amazing and so relaxed afterwards. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have sore hips/back/shoulders. Sam was fantastic, gave me lots of advice to take home and I was well ready for a sleep once the massage was finished. I could have stayed there all day.I felt like a different person. Highly recommend."

Sharon Woolf

"I suffer mild pelvic discomfort (after having four children) and was sleeping with pillows between my legs to ensure a more comfortable night’s sleep. Sam told me about her wonderful pillow and I tried it. It is so much better than the variety of cushions and I tend to use it most nights. I love the research that Sam has done with her pillow and I know that it is beneficial for a wide number of people – pregnant or not!” Charlie Saunders

"I have to say this is the best purchase ever!!! :o) Now I’ve got the height correctly sorted I have the most comfy and solid sleep, no getting up 5 times a night any more. Sam has been totally awesome to deal with and very patient showing me the correct alignment and way to best set up my pillow. Can’t wait to see her soon for a massage :o) ”

Tash Lawrence

Hi Sam,I am so glad I discovered the mumanu!! The first night with it was tough only because I had to find the right height that was comfortable, but every night after has been amazing! Of course as a pregnant woman I have to switch sides throughout the night, but now its easier to switch with lightweight mumanu pillow versus a regular bulky pillow. The best part is that the mumanu has eliminated my back and hip pain at night, which I truly have to thank you and the mumanu!! Thank you and I will be sure to refer others to buy the mumanu!Kind Regards,Taryn

"Massage and whole experience was wonderful and better than I imagined. Felt so relaxed and content. The best I have felt in weeks. Thanks!”
