42.// Non-Negotiables In Pregnancy, How to Find Energy and Fuel You and Your Growing Baby, Going Against What Society Tends to Lead Pregnant Women to Believe


Listen Later

Hi friends!

Ok, this episode is full of so much passion and current real life experience and I can't wait for you to get your ears on it! I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with our 4th child and I seriously can't believe it. I wanted to bring some solid content that talks about pregnancy and how I have approached it. Today we are really focusing on the things that are constant in my pregnancy journey and I call them my "non-negotiables" since they are just always going to be a part of what makes me feel my best during pregnancy but honestly in every day life whether I am pregnant or not. They are:

1. Move My Body with Intention (not just chasing children)

2. Fuel it with the best food and enjoy my random cravings

3. Hydrate lots!

4. Rest/Sleep

I don't want you to feel like once you get pregnant that everything has to go out the window and you'll just get to it after. There is absolutely no reason for that thinking. You can enhance your pregnancy journey by adding in the health and wellness aspect. It's just not going to look the same for every pregnant woman which is why you have to make it your own journey and not compare. 

By this point I am definitely beginning to slow down, need less intense workouts, modify how do everyday body movements and exercise, snag some extra sleep when I can, and maybe eat a tad more when I feel the extra hunger kick in.

Not every day is perfect. Some days you feel on top of the world and other days you just want to lay on the couch and eat chocolate and that's ok.  Just know that more of your pregnant days could be more pleasant as well as your future pregnancies if you are intentional with caring for your body. You are also setting yourself up for a more positive labor and recovery. Have grace with yourself, this is such a beautiful and miraculous experience that our bodies were designed to do. 

I pray this encourages you as you prepare for or are already on your own pregnancy journey. I look forward to bringing more pregnancy related content your way.
