What's inside

Before you order

Please tell your midwife, doctor or clinic what you are taking, everything, including this. It matters more now than at any other time.

MamaPlus contains iron. If you are already on an iron supplement, or you have not had your levels checked, speak to your doctor before adding more.

If you are on blood-thinning medication, or you have a caesarean or any surgery booked, check with your doctor before taking fish oil at this strength.

Not pregnant or breastfeeding? Here is the original Tired Mother.

A note from Lisa

The same tiredness, a different body

The bundle I put together for exhausted women has ashwagandha in it, and ashwagandha is not for you right now, not while you are pregnant, and not while you are feeding.

That did not sit well with me. The women doing the hardest physical work of their lives are the ones most often told to wait, come back later, ask someone else.

So this is the same idea, made for the body you are actually in.

A prenatal, because you are feeding two and the demand for folate, iodine, zinc and B12 goes up long before anything else does. MamaPlus covers preconception right through nursing.

Magnesium, because it is the one women notice, in their sleep, in their legs at night, in the tightness across their shoulders at the end of a long day.

And extra omega-3, because your baby is building a brain and a nervous system out of DHA, and if you are not eating much oily fish, it comes from you. Your prenatal has a starting amount. This tops it up.

Nothing here is a stimulant, nothing here is a herb that hurries your body along. It is the raw material for what you are already doing.
