One of the first changes many of my fertility patients notice isn’t a positive pregnancy test.
🌸It’s healthier egg-white cervical mucus around ovulation.
🌸A return of libido.
🌸A feeling that their body is becoming receptive again.
I love these early signs because they remind us that fertility is not a switch that turns on overnight.
It is a rhythm 🌀
And for mothers hoping for baby #2, #3, or #4, that rhythm often looks different than it did the first time around.
Your body has grown a baby before, but it has also lived a lot since then. There have been sleepless nights, breastfeeding, seasons of stress, and the beautiful, messy pace of family life.
This is one of the reasons I love acupuncture so much. It is a medicine that invites the body back into r h y t h m supporting ovulation, hormones, sleep, stress, and the nervous system.
The research is encouraging too, with studies suggesting acupuncture may improve pregnancy outcomes as part of fertility care (PMID: 35222669).
If you’re preparing for baby 2, 3, or 4, comment PRENATAL and I’ll send you my favourite prenatal🤎
And tell me, are you trying, thinking about trying, or still deciding if your family feels complete?
From my teacup to yours,
