21. First Trimester Tips

You're Pregnant!  Now What?   In Episode 21, I've got five first-trimester tips to help set you on a path of evidence-based wholistic prenatal care.   In this episode we talk about making peace with your emotions during pregnancy, and my favorite tool for supporting emotional well-being in motherhoood Guided Journals   We discuss the importance or prenatal nutrition and I share my favorite multivitamin that I used in my last three pregnancies.   I share some nuanced ideas on keeping your pregnancy a secret or sharing your pregnancy during the uncertain first trimester.   I share why it's important to do your own research in the first trimester and find out how to get evidence based care.   Why more pregnancy tests probably aren't going to be helpful   And I offer a special invitation to my new private facebook group for First Trimester Mamas where you can get education and emotional support during this special time – even if the general public can't know you're expecting yet.    As always, I'd love to have you grab my Prenatal Affirmations to help support a positive mindset for pregnancy, birth and beyond.   If you are looking ot have a natural in hospital birth, home birth or out of hospital birth, check out The Road Not Taken, its a masterclass designed to help you understand the state of maternity care and how to envision and achieve the birth of your dreams.   Then join me in Sage Motherhood Mentorship for prenatal coaching, childbirth education, postpartum preparation and newborn care education.  Its a blend of self-paced learning & one-to-one support that begins in the second trimester and continues through the end of the fourth trimester (12 weeks postpartum)
