When mamas have oversupply I always suggest eating a peppermint altoid a few times per day. It's the easiest way to help reduce in small doses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1060052 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 11:37:11 +0000 runsyellowlites 1060052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: Whoa. That's awesome to know! Can it reduce supply from topical use too?.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1060023 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 11:20:38 +0000 junebugmama 1060023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: @runsyellowlites: They say not to ingest it while nursing, because peppermint (as well as lavender, parsley, etc) actually aid in supply reduction. Can be great for people with an oversupply </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059999 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:53:56 +0000 runsyellowlites 1059999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Glad it went down!!! I'd take advantage of the holiday &amp; rest up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059977 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:27:19 +0000 luckypenny 1059977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: feeling better. Fever went down sometime during the night. I think I just over worked myself this long weekend. Thanks for checking on me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059814 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:16:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 1059814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: how are you feeling? I would take Tylenol, but I understand if you don't feel comfortable doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059589 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 23:03:43 +0000 citymouse 1059589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: makes sense. I can only think of tea or maybe some kind of dessert that you would be ingesting peppermint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059585 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 22:59:11 +0000 runsyellowlites 1059585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: My MW said it was safe to use topically &amp; for aromatherapy while pregnant &amp; nursing... I think most essential oils aren't recommended for ingesting regardless but I haven't looked into it too much (weird me out thinking about eating/drinking it. lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059582 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 22:56:59 +0000 citymouse 1059582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: is peppermint oil only not recommended to *ingest* while nursing? Can you still safely use it topically? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059517 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 21:38:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 1059517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: YW! I use it for headaches now too! It's really soothing &amp; I was surprised how well it worked for even an almost migraine tension headache! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059515 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 21:35:37 +0000 luckypenny 1059515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: thanks lady :) putting it on the bottom of my feet sounds so nice! Ill have DH run out to whole foods now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059512 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 21:30:52 +0000 runsyellowlites 1059512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Oh boo! Peppermint oil is good for bring down fever &amp; is safe in pregnancy. </p> <p><a href="http://www.doterra-aromatics.com/products/singles/peppermint.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.doterra-aromatics.com/products/singles/peppermint.html</a></p> <p>After finding out that Tylenol is a class C pregnancy drug I didn't want to take it so I started looking into other options. We use lavender oil for P too (it's better for kids since it's not as potent). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fevers-during-pregnancy#post-1059504 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 21:20:20 +0000 luckypenny 1059504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What would your fever have to be to make you worried. I had a 100 degree fever tonight. I took a three hour nap and generally feel like crap. Not sure what to do :( </p>
