Ep 26: Katelyn's Blessingway & Pregnancy Update

 

Show Notes:

• Currently 38 weeks pregnant
• Have had quite a successful pregnancy-- this one has gone by much faster (probably because I've been chasing my toddler)
• Planning to have my daughter at the birth.  We've prepared by having her watch birth videos and even listening to/watching the video of me pushing with her
• This pregnancy I: continued strength training throughout- I feel it made a huge difference for me
• I did start eating more poorly during February/March, so I did the Whole30 with my husband and daughter as a reset in April and felt much better
• I got sick with a stomach bug around 34 weeks- I don't wish that on anyone!  So awful to be sick and that pregnant.  I worried momentarily I'd accidentally push the baby out while puking.
• I had a blessingway ceremony this past weekend.  Surrounded by amazing midwives and birth workers who love me. 
• We: ate, had a bead ceremony, a fear-releasing ceremony, made an affirmation banner, and prayed over me
• If you had a Blessingway, what did you do?
• Please send me songs to add to my playlist- feel free to send them via your instagram stories, tagging @happyhomebirthpodcast
