People in the Elizabethan era didn't like to take baths. The common belief was that a bath can make you sick. In the wintertime, everyone was literally sewn to their long underwear (a flap for the back was kept closed with buttons.) So, wearing a pomander had real benefits. Pomanders kept air smelling sweet. If you have a poor diet its time to correct that now. When a woman is pregnant, high amounts of this female hormone are designed by the placenta, beginning throughout the end of her first trimester of being pregnant on and on on until she gives birth to a baby. A pregnant woman's progesterone levels are approximately much higher than it is in the woman who is not pregnant.
