Join us this episode as Ryan Kipping, a clinically trained Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Lactation Educator, and Author of "The Feel-Good Pregnancy Cookbook" shares how she helps women feel confident in their ability to properly nourish a growing baby through a real food approach.


ABOUT RYANN KIPPING:

Ryann is the founder of The Prenatal Nutritionist, a virtual nutrition private practice, which focuses on preparing women for pregnancy and conquering nutrition during and after pregnancy. She is also the founder of The Prenatal Nutrition Library, an online community for evidence-based nutrition information before and during pregnancy.


Ryann has helped hundreds of women escape confusing and outdated nutrition information to find a happy, feel-good pregnancy. Simply put, advice to “take a prenatal vitamin” is not enough.


If there is any time in your life to make nutrition a priority, it’s now. Eating for two people is different than eating for one. Appetite changes, intense cravings, morning sickness, and heartburn comes in winds and you’re forced to lean into your body’s cues like never before.


During pregnancy, you have to eat intentionally and I’m here to make it easy for you. I’ve done all the research, so you don’t have to spend another minute debating your every bite.


Having the “pregnancy glow” is great and all, but feeling that glow (confidence, nourishment, and energy) on the inside is what matters the most.


Ryann also creates content daily for her popular Instagram account @prenatalnutritionist.

Being proactive about freezing her eggs “before it was too late” in her 30’s, Katie thought this was the responsible thing to do after her recent divorce until Mr. Right came along.


A few years later, Katie met her husband at 41 years old and when they married they immediately transferred Katie’s eggs, but it unsuccessful by all accounts. As a result, the couple was told that Katie had a less than 1% chance of conceiving with her own eggs and was advised to use an egg donor. Believing what the doctors were telling her, Katie began the egg donor search, but wasn’t comfortable with the whole process and wanted to try IVF before using donor eggs.

After years of multiple pregnancies, Katie experienced several miscarriages and was devastated. Giving up hope of conceiving with her own eggs, Katie finally convinced herself to go the egg donor route if her upcoming IVF transfer was unsuccessful and started taking hormone injections again, and then she found out that she conceived naturally.

However, instead of being excited, Katie was terrified of losing her baby throughout her entire pregnancy due to having several previous miscarriages. Katie’s very honest “Pregnancy After 40” interview reminds us that all our feelings are valid when it comes to TTC, miscarrying and getting pregnant thereafter. To hear more, tune in to this episode for Katie’s entire “Pregnancy after 40” Journey and Story.

After having a highly lucrative career and achieving financial success, Q didn’t stress about having a baby until one day she realized that she was in her 40’s and was missing the one thing that would make her life complete – a baby.

To avoid spending too much time trying to conceive naturally on her own, Q and her husband sought the assistance of Fertility Specialists to help them have a baby after several months of trying. With no known infertility issues, Q was unaware of the emotional and physical journey that she was about to encounter in trying to conceive her baby.

Several failed IVF attempts, a fertility clinic error, relocation to another state, and frustration, Q finally had a successful transfer after a simple change to her treatments. Fortunately, once pregnant, things went relatively smooth, as pregnancy was the calm before the storm of having a newborn for the first time mom in her 40’s.

Being as candid as ever, Q talks about the things that no one tells you about having a baby and newborn. Initially struggling to find a balance and her sanity, Q took matters into her own hands and made decisions that were in the best interest of herself, baby and husband.

To hear more, tune in to this episode for Q’s full 2-part Pregnancy after 40 Journey and Story.

Sophia was told in 2017 by her doctor that she would not need birth control because she had huge fibroids and endometriosis and informed that pregnancy was not possible. She accepted the fact that she wouldn’t have any more children but continued to suffer with the pain associated with having fibroids a few more years until it was unbearable. She was advised that the only way to alleviate the pain caused by the fibroids was to have a hysterectomy. Being in her 40’s already and already having 2 older daughters, Sophia agreed to have the major procedure to have her uterus surgically removed. However, 2 weeks before the scheduled surgery, Sophia went in for pre-op only to find out that she was pregnant. In complete shock of this news, the surgery was obviously canceled, she had the baby and during delivery, the fibroids and endometriosis passed as well. This is an amazing story of being told by a medical professional that there was zero chance in conceiving again to having a baby over 40 years old. To hear more, tune in to this episode for Sophia’s full Pregnancy after 40 Journey and Story.

Not having been on any form of birth control since her mid 30’s, neither Jessica, her husband or her 14-year-old daughter expected her to have a baby at 41 years old. And while Jessica and her husband soon embraced the arrival of a new baby, their daughter, who vehemently opposed having a sibling, was a harder sell. Having to deal their daughter’s shock and anger in having a new baby in the home, this was the hardest part of Jessica’s pregnancy, but she shares how the couple was able to overcome this hurdle.

Additionally, Jessica shares how she dealt with her surprise diagnosis of having Gestational Diabetes, how following a Keto diet may have played a part in conceiving naturally, why she skipped genetic and the Nipt testing, and the reason for choosing to pump exclusively from day one. To hear more, tune in to this episode for Jessica’s full Pregnancy after 40 Journey and Story.
