Keep the Guess Date to Yourself!
One of the best things I learned was not to share my due date—especially with close friends and family. Next time, I’ll give them a general timeframe or a date a few weeks later. It takes the pressure off and protects your peace!
Homeopathy Is a Game-Changer
From pregnancy and labor to breastfeeding and postpartum recovery (and even for baby!), homeopathy has been such a gift. Having a homeopathy kit on hand for the whole family made a huge difference.
Stick With What’s Already Working
I realized I didn’t need to overhaul my lifestyle just because I was pregnant. If you’re healthy enough to get pregnant, you’re likely already doing enough. No need to stress about changing up your diet or workout routine too much.
Mind Over Matter: Prepare Mentally for Labor
Learning about the mental side of labor totally shifted my perspective. I honestly enjoyed the experience and would choose labor over a period any day! Understanding how the mind affects the body in birth was powerful.
Pray With Intention
I started praying specifically about the desires and fears that came up during pregnancy—and it brought so much peace. God cares deeply about every detail, and inviting Him into the process changed everything for me.
