135. T1D Pregnancy: My 1st Trimester Recap

The news is out, I’m pregnant! I’m so thrilled to FINALLY share the news that Kris and I are expecting our first child early next year. In today’s episode, I break down my experience so far, from preconception tips, my blood sugars, and, of course, what I’ve been craving! I also answer listener questions, such as what surprised me most, what advice would I give, and I share my favorite prenatal vitamins and app for pregnancy.Time Stamps:  (01:18) Pregnancy Announcement (03:44) Rising Above Pregnancy Fears With T1D(08:18) Workshop on Pregnancy & Diabetes  (09:58) Prepping for Pregnancy & Prenatal Vitamins (11:42) The Pregnancy App I Downloaded (12:12) Hormonal Birth Control and Ovulation Tracking (15:06) Managing Blood Sugars During Pregnancy(20:16) Preconception Appointment (23:19) Risks & Complications(24:57) My Mindset  (25:31) Speaking Up For Your Body Autonomy (26:21) Conception Story and the Emotional Roller Coaster (33:54) My First Trimester: Blood Sugars, Nausea, and Cravings (45:36) What surprised me?(49:43) What advice would I give to someone wanting to get pregnant in the next 1-2 years?What to do now:Follow me @lauren_bongiorno and @riselyhealth on Instagram to stay in the loop when new episodes drop.Learn more about our coaching programs HERE.  Access our Pregnancy + T1D Workshop on demand HERE.WeNatal Prenatal Vitamins SHOP HEREDisclaimer: Nothing you hear on the Reclaim your Rise podcast should be a substitute for personalized professional medical advice.
