EP 7: Do This to Combat Pregnancy Fatigue

 

It’s normal to feel fatigued and even exhausted during the first months of pregnancy. 

Fatigue, even extreme fatigue, is an early sign of pregnancy that nearly all women experience in the first trimester. 

It’s also very normal in the third trimester, affecting an estimated 60 percent of all pregnant women.

Ep 2: The #1 Purpose of a Birth Plan

 

 People ask me, "Stephanie, what is the purpose of a birth plan?"

Simply put - the purpose of a birth plan is to support you during labor, birth and postpartum so that you are more likely to have a positive birth experience of your choosing.

Now, there are a lot of benefits that stem from having a birth plan and being prepared (which we'll get into in this episode)

But when we get down to business, having a birth plan allows you the privilege to have "birth happen through you and not to you."

In this Oh Baybee! Episode you'll learn:

  • How a birth plan will improve the communication with your health provider and healthcare staff
  • Why planning will increase your chance of having a positive birth experience
  • How your plan will help you advocate for yourself and your baby

Having an effective birth plan may seem insignificant but trust me - (when done well) you'll have a positive birth memory that will last a lifetime.

Happy Birthing!
