EP 41: 35 Weeks Pregnant Update: Scheduled C-Section, Maternity Leave & Getting Organized | Third Trimester Reality

from The Thoughtful Advocate · host Elizabeth Teo

Join me for an honest 35 week pregnancy update as I share my experience preparing for a scheduled c-section, the relief of finally being on maternity leave, and how we tackled our chaotic bedroom. I'm discussing the differences between spinal blocks vs epidurals, the science behind third trimester fatigue (your blood volume increases 50%!), why multitasking while pregnant is so draining, and how visual clutter actually increases anxiety according to neuroscience. Plus, I share tips on cooking with a toddler, finding the best board books at the library, and why organizing before baby #2 has helped me breathe again. If you're a working mom, pregnant with your second baby, or preparing for a c-section, this update is for you.
