Together, we explore what women can do before trying to conceive, how understanding your cycle can provide important insight into your health, and why education and advocacy matter throughout pregnancy and childbirth.Bekah shares practical insight into preparing your body for conception, understanding ovulation and fertility, and making lifestyle changes that support your overall health.Along the way, Bekah reminds us that fertility can be the fruit of what's happening inside our bodies—and learning to understand our bodies can help us ask better questions and make more informed decisions.In this episode, we discuss:What to do before trying to get pregnantWhen to consider coming off birth controlPost-birth control changes and hormone healthNatural family planning and understanding your cycleHow conception and ovulation actually workWhat the FEMM (Fertility Education and Medical Management) method isWhy fertility can reflect what's happening inside the bodyLifestyle changes that can help prepare your body for conceptionWhat a doula actually doesThe importance of childbirth education and birth planningHow dads and partners can support pregnancy and birthBuilding the right birth support teamHow to advocate for yourself during pregnancy and childbirthBekah's fertility framework and educational resourcesFaith-centered support throughout fertility, pregnancy, and birthOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation was realizing how much confidence can come from education.Understanding your body.
