Three Surprising Ways To Prepare Your Body For Pregnancy

I need live-in help before I get pregnant with a third kid. I remember laying on the couch watching DJ run around with zero energy to get up.  I was in my first trimester with my second baby and I knew there was no way I could feel the way I was feeling in that moment if I got pregnant with a third baby.  I survived my first trimester and (with a few set backs) went on to have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby girl. But as we think about growing our family again I’m trying to prepare for a third pregnancy

It got me thinking “what if we prepared for the first trimester like we prepare for the forth trimester?”  So I set an intention to be more prepared for my third pregnancy than I had for either of my first two.  

Since, as it turns out, I will not actually have live in help for my third pregnancy I’m going to have to take really good care of myself before hand and prepare well so that I can have space to take care of myself during the pregnancy.  This is the only chance I have at being able to keep up with my kids and have a healthy (and dare I say enjoyable) pregnancy.  

In this episode I’m sharing the three surprising ways I’m preparing my body for baby number three.
