[…] Focus on good nutrition and exercise. Make a daily checklist to ensure you are getting essential nutrients. Engage in daily exercise such as swim, walk, yoga, prenatal fitness class- whatever feels good. For information on diet throughout pregnancy, we recommend reading, “What Every Pregnant Woman Should Know” by Dr. Tom Brewer and Gail Sforza Brewer or The Brewer Diet. […]

Comment on Dealing With Guilt by kellysnowheinz

I developed preeclampsia in 1999 at 22 weeks. By 25 weeks I was having a crash c-section and delivered my daughter, who weighed 514g on 2/9/99. I had HELLP and required a week stay in ICU due to blood and lung issues. My daughter passed on 3/1/99 due to PIE and kidney/organ failure. My pulmonologist told me to not get pregnant again.
I started seeking answers and ended up talking to Tom. I remember him saying “I’m so sorry” and I said (out of habit) “That’s ok” and he said, “NO, it’s not ok, it doesn’t have to happen.” He offered to help me sue my doctor but I didn’t take him up on it, and I regret that. I wasn’t brave enough at the time. I knew someone the Brewer diet worked for, and that was the courage I needed to try it. I also helped others to try it too and know babies that have had normal gestations as a result.
I got pregnant 9 months after losing my daughter…I didn’t expect to get pregnant so quickly. My son always measured a week or two ahead size wise. My blood pressure increased in trimester 3 but I felt good and my labs were always normal.My son was born at 36 weeks and was 6 lbs 15 oz. We both went home a few days later and he is now 8.
18 months later I got pregnant again. I followed the Brewer diet again, eating 120g protein per day,2500 or more calories per day. My daughter was born at 38 weeks 0 days and was 6 lbs 13 oz. My blood pressure went up, but no bedrest or meds were pushed on me and it was wonderful to have the most normal full term pregnancy of all.My daughter is now 6.
I was cleaning up the other day looking at my papers and I saw a note from Tom and I know that he had hoped I would be someone who could continue to be a voice for this truth and so, as my daughers 10th birthday approaches and I honor her memory, I just wanted to thank Gail, as I have thanked Tom in my prayers for her perserverence in this truth and I wanted to continue to share my story as someone who almost lost their life to HELLP and who misses her sweet first born and let people know that you can be as sick as I was and go on to have healthy babies by following this healthy diet. This diet creates miracles. I know, I get to look at them every single day :-).

Comment on What Is A Good, Nutritious, Balanced Diet? by Vibrant Moms » Blog Archive » Protein intake during pregnancy

[…] But honestly, I’m not one for counting grams or making charts of what I eat - I’d probably make myself crazy if I had to figure out how much protein was in everything I ate daily . I find the recommendations here easier to use: http://www.westonaprice.org/children/dietformothers.html And Dr. Tom Brewer is the source to go to for information about how diet affects toxemia, among other things. His recommendations are similar to the Weston Price Foundation: http://www.blueribbonbaby.org/ifyouarepregnant/what-is-a-good-nutritious-balanced-diet/ […]

I am a Lactation Consultant. I direct women to this website regularly, and my grown children promote the Brewer Diet to their friends (and sometimes to perfect strangers). I have seen first hand how even beginning to follow the diet later in a pregnancy can normalize blood pressure, reduce edema, and improve the overall health of the mother. The results speak for themselves.
