Why I’m Not Making a Birth Plan + Preparing for Baby | Selfdom Ep. 135

from Selfdom · host Dominique Elissa

I’m officially 35 weeks pregnant, and things are starting to feel very real! In this solo episode, I’m sitting down for a big pregnancy Q&A and life update as we enter the final few weeks before Baby Bull arrives. I’m sharing everything from our baby shower and why we chose meaningful keepsakes over traditional games, to my iron infusion, nesting mode and turning our house upside down getting ready for baby. I’m also answering your questions about pregnancy anxiety, why we’re waiting until birth to find out the gender, my birth intentions, postpartum recovery plans, maternity leave, body image, maternity style and what I’m most excited about when it comes to becoming a mum. Plus, I share how grief has shaped the way I think about growing our family and why this next chapter feels so incredibly special. A very honest life lately from 35 weeks pregnant. Baby Bull, we are almost ready for you.  Sponsors: Chief Nutrition: Use SELFDOM20 for 20% off your first order.
