Here’s what you can expect from this episode:
The time has finally arrived for me to update you all on my third trimester. I can hardly believe how quickly it has flown by! In this episode, I’m sharing my journey through my third trimester of pregnancy, detailing what I did week by week and why I believe it went so smoothly.
I wanted to share with you guys just what’s been happening and what I’ve been experiencing. So, I’ll cover the benefits of a babymoon, the value I have received from birthing classes, the role of a doula, and practical preparations for childbirth and postpartum care. I’ll also discuss the steps I’ve taken to address discomfort, manage iron levels, plan for breastfeeding, and even encapsulate my placenta for postpartum benefits.
I really want to provide you with some food for thought because I truly have learned so much through this pregnancy. Whether you’re expecting or know someone who is, tune in to gain valuable insights from my third trimester journey.
