Re: Babies and Adrenal Fatigue / Pregnancy

[Guest guest]

What I've read is that an adrenal fatigued mom will draw off the adrenals of her

baby and

cause adrenal fatigue in the child. This was true for me - my mom had adrenal

fatigue (PTSD)

now I have it, and now my kids do too.

Hi ,

Some of the symptoms would be difficulty sleeping, hungry all the time,

colic, fussy, projectile vomitting. The baby would be producing way too much

for it's own body when it's born causing it to have high cortisol.

Hmm that is interesting! Would it make a difference in the baby's

size at birth and when growing?

My baby did actually have all of those symptoms. But now she does

not. She is 8 weeks now. The symptoms got WAY better after I took

her to the chiropractor and craniosacral therapy. I wonder if that

helped with cortisol numbers at all.

Let me clarify. You are not newly pregnant currently, with an eight

week old baby, right? You had adrenal fatigue while pregnant, and that

baby is eight weeks old, correct?

My children were all born to an adrenal-fatigued mother. I mentioned

yesterday that the youngest died. I do not believe that was due to high

cortisol (there were other factors). So I just want to make sure I'm

not scaring you needlessly.

All of my bio children were as Rie described. VERY difficult. Colitis,

SEVERE colic, cried all the time, very poor digestion (had to have the

ultra fancy ($400 month) formula). As they have gotten older, the two

living children have more hypo than adrenal symptoms. My oldest is

quite fatigued all the time, lethargic (she's 7). The younger one has

sensory processing disorder, and was very difficult until about two

years of age (mono, chronic ear infections, on and on).

Actually, the pregnancies were more difficult on me as the mom, and had

much more long-lasting effects on my health.

Best wishes to you and your new baby.

I don't know about the weight at birth. My oldest was 8lbs 2oz. I don't know

if the chriopractor would help with adrenal levels or not. I do know others

who have had success with colic and ear infections using one though. Just

keep an eye on her and be aware. My daughter has develped pretty normally.

She did have lots of sound sensitivity when she was younger and now just

seems to get tired easily which is why I want to get her tested and treated

if needed.
