What people are saying about...PREGNANCY+GINGER
The morning (or shall I say ALL DAY) sickness began the week after I found out I was pregnant, and unlike some women who are lucky enough to only have to endure it for the first three months, mine went on and on and on!!! I tried everything to relieve the nausea… you name it, I tried it. I heard that the pre-natal vitamin that I was taking might be somewhat to blame for the extra nausea, but I knew that I had to take it, so I was stuck!
At about 4 and a half months I was introduced to Fem-Med’s Pregnancy + Ginger pre-natal vitamin and about a week after I starting taking it, the nausea was GREATLY reduced!!! I feel normal for the first time since I got pregnant and I couldn’t be more thankful and relieved!! I would recommend Fem-Med to ANY woman dealing with the “joys” of morning sickness and looking for a way to feel better!!!. Thank you SO much Shawna! You have no idea how much you have helped me!!(Jessica Baker, Morning Traffic reporter, 97.3 EZ Rock)
