I’m in the final few weeks of pregnancy, and I still find myself trying to process the fact that I’m about to have a teeny tiny newborn in my arms so soon. This week, I thought it would be fun to prep together with one last little pregnancy Q&A. You submitted the questions, and I’m answering them.

And let me tell you… you all sent in such thoughtful, good questions. A few of them even made me pause and reflect on what I want for birth and postpartum, so truly, thank you for your service.

In this episode, we talk through VBAC fears, labor prep routines, sibling transitions, postpartum mental health, and the real-life logistics that make this whole season possible.

Questions We Cover:

Deciding on a VBAC/TOLAC after a prior C-section and processing birth trauma
Birth prep strategies, including walking, acupuncture, raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose, curb walking, the Miles Circuit, and colostrum collection
Whether siblings should meet baby at the hospital or at home
Anything I want to do differently this birth and postpartum
Who will be watching the kids while we’re at the hospital
How I’m mentally and physically preparing for birth in the final two weeks
What vaccines or medications I’m delaying after birth
Thoughts on placenta encapsulation
How to prep older kids for a new baby
Ways I’m preparing for postpartum
How we plan to divide kids and responsibilities with my husband
And more!

Thanks for hanging out with me this week- I'm so grateful you're here
