Buckle up b/c we're about to dive headfirst into the wondrous world of collagen, the stuff that keeps us looking fab and feeling fierce. Collagen is your secret weapon, your trusty sidekick, and everything in between when it comes to your hair, skin and nails and even your joints...however, there is a big difference between collagen and protein & there are several different ways in which you can source it. So today, we are going to go over ALL of that + why the hell it's so damn important for you & how to look for the best one on the market!

When choosing your collagen fix, be sure to do your homework. Look for quality, transparency, and a little sprinkle of magic in every scoop. After all, you deserve nothing but the best!

Pregnancy Weight Gain Breakdown:

• Baby: +7 to 8 pounds
• Breast tissue: +1 to 3 pounds:
• Expanding uterus: +2 pounds:
• Placenta: +1.5 pounds (A brand-new organ!)
• Amniotic fluid: +2 pounds
• Increased blood volume: +3 to 4 pounds
• Increased fluid volume: +2 to 3 pounds
• Fat stores: +6 to 8 pounds stored in thighs and hips for energy during labor, delivery, and breastfeeding.
  • These fat stores serve as a crucial energy reserve to support both the mother and the developing fetus. The growing fetus relies on a steady supply of nutrients, including calories, for its growth and development. 
  • The body undergoes significant hormonal changes during pregnancy, and fat tissue plays a role in maintaining hormonal balance, which is essential for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth. 
  • fat tissue provides insulation and helps regulate body temperature, aiding in the mother's well-being and fetal development. Fat stores can also facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, A,D,E,K, which are vital for the mother and baby's health.

TOTAL= 25 - 35 lbs

(this is generic information and will be different for every individual woman based on their genetic make up, pregnancy, lifestyle and health.)

Kaitlin is an author, blogger, wife, and homeschooling mother of five kiddos under the age of eight. She has the privilege of helping women navigate the journey of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

 She does this by sharing with women the simple science of their amazing bodies so they can then prepare their bodies for pregnancy, birth, and a faster recovery.

After tragically losing her best friend to a childbirth-related incident and struggling to find reliable information on her own pregnancy and postpartum journey, she began to explore science-based strategies that support mothers in the perinatal season. The more she read and put into practice throughout her own pregnancies, she realized that moms needed access to this information. As a mother, you have the right to understand these simple strategies so you can prepare for a positive birth experience, recover faster, and stay strong for motherhood and life! 

You can find Kaitlin at Kaitlinspano.co and Maternal Method on YouTube!

Ladies, we've all been there - that tempting urge to step on the scale each morning, holding our breath for the magical number that will dictate the mood for the rest of the day! But why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we define ourselves based on a specific number? Everyone has their personal reasons and we are NOT here to judge you or tell you to change, but we are here to share some light on a different perspective that has helped each of us and can hopefully help you too! Our goal for this episode stems from our company’s mission at 3FORMA which is - to improve women’s self-esteem. So today we are going to chat about

• Our Mindset around the scale (obsession)
• Understanding what the scale is telling you AND what its not telling you
• How to use it as a positive tool
• Introduce Nonscale victories 

Full disclosure: we are not therapists, we are not making any personal recommendations, nor telling you what to do. We are simply your girlfriends, sharing research, personal stories, and hopefully, a new perspective that could possibly help you show yourself a little more love at the end of the day.
