The 3% Chance: Adrielle's Pregnancy at 41

023. On episode 23, Adrielle is sharing her pregnancy story at 41, a journey that began with an incredible surprise after her fertility app indicated she had less than a 3% chance of conceiving. Despite the odds, she welcomed a baby girl in what she describes as her healthiest pregnancy to date. Adrielle opens up about how a strict gluten-free and Paleo lifestyle transformed her experience, reducing inflammation and providing her with more energy than she had during her previous pregnancies in her 30s.The conversation dives deep into her 40-hour unmedicated labor, detailing how she vetted a "natural-friendly" Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) and prepared her mind using "Kingdom Childbirth" principles. From navigating a three-hour drive to the birthing center while in active labor to the "miraculously strong" water bag that stunned her medical team, Adrielle's story is a masterclass in autonomy and faith. She also gets raw about the "Fourth Trimester," discussing the realities of infant reflux, tongue ties, and her personal journey using bioidentical progesterone to manage postpartum anxiety and insomnia.Get the full story, resources and more information about this episode: https://over40fabulousandpregnant.com/episode23/Shop the Show 🛍️ To browse every product recommended by our host and guests, visit:  https://over40fabulousandpregnant.com/shop/ (Note: We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you—it helps keep the episodes coming!)Support the Pod ❤️ If you enjoy our content and want to help us stay independent, you can donate to the show here: https://over40fabulousandpregnant.com/donate/
