5 things I wish I did differently in my pregnancy + will absolutely prioritize next time 👇🏻
Looking back, there are a few things I wish I had prioritized more during pregnancy. You better believe I’ll be doing them differently next time.
1. Check my ferritin levels.
I wish I had paid more attention to my iron stores during pregnancy + postpartum, not just my hemoglobin. Ferritin can help identify iron depletion before it becomes a bigger issue.
2. Prioritize stretching + mobility.
Next time, I’d be stretching and working on mobility every day, especially movements to support hip mobility for labor + help reduce back pain.
3. Practice breathwork.
Breathing isn’t just about your lungs. It’s connected to your core + pelvic floor, too. 360° breathing can help you learn to both engage and relax your pelvic floor, which is so important for pregnancy, birth + postpartum.
4. Get support for back pain sooner.
I dealt with SO much back pain and waited too long to get help. Next time, I’d have a pelvic floor PT and/or prenatal massage therapist on my support team from the start. Your pregnancy support team can go far beyond your OB. 👏🏻
5. Ask for help.
Help with the nursery. Help with the baby shower. Help with meals. Help with literally anything. People want to help, but they can’t read your mind. There is NOTHING wrong with asking for support. Pregnancy is hard. SO hard. You don’t have to do it all yourself.
