    My final pregnancy podcast before BABY!

    The time has finally come: This is my LAST PODCAST EPISODE before our baby girl arrives! By the time you're listening to this, hopefully we are in the early stages of newborn life and thriving (or at least surviving) on limited sleep and cuddles. But at the time of recording, I am uncomfortably pregnant and just a few days (!!) away from giving birth! Tune in as I share how I've spent my final days/weeks of pregnancy, what I learned at my last OB appointment, the plans for my induction, and a special message to all of the lovely listeners who have been with me on this journey!

    What last minute baby prep did we do?

    In the final weeks/months of pregnancy leading up to baby's arrival, what did we do to prepare ourselves and our home? Did we prioritize the right tasks and is it ever possible to feel fully ready for a newborn? In this week's episode I'll go through the to-do list and schedule my husband and I put together for our last minute baby prep - including making freezer meals, testing out baby gear and finalizing our birth plan. I'll share what we did, why the timing worked (or didn't!) and how I felt about all of our prep. Want to share your pregnancy or TTC journey? Have feedback for the podcast?

    How are we preparing our dog for our baby?

    After being fur parents for the last eight years, how are we preparing our dog to meet her new baby sister? In this episode, I'm sharing everything we've done during my pregnancy to prepare our dog for our incoming baby. I'm covering the course we took (and important takeaways from it!), how we've prepped our house and what changes we've made to our dog's routine.

    How do I make a birth plan?

    This week we're talking all about birth plans or birth preferences - the document you share with your care team to let them know what you want and don't want during labor and delivery. I'll share exactly what's on my birth plan and tips for putting together your own birth preferences doc! Plus, I'm shouting out a few listeners who wrote in with feedback.

    What’s in my hospital bag?

    What am I packing in my hospital bag for labor and delivery? And, maybe more importantly, what am I skipping and and NOT bringing to the hospital? I'll also share when I think you should have your hospital bag packed, what you should pack into, and any outstanding items I still need to buy with baby's birth right around the corner!

    Are prenatal classes worth it?

    Do you really need to take a course all about labor, delivery, postpartum and newborn care? Is prenatal education all it's cracked up to be? And if you do decide to take a prenatal class, what kind should you go for? In-person or online? Private or in a group? In today's episode, I'm sharing our experience taking a six week prenatal course. Listen in to learn what I loved about the course, what I hated and what I recommend you do for your own pregnancy/birth education. Want to share your pregnancy or TTC journey?

    What’s our postpartum plan? (+ Setting boundaries with our parents!)

    Everyone talks about preparing for labour and delivery, but what about postpartum? Turns out, there's lots to think about when it comes to making your postpartum plans! In this episode I cover everything my husband and I are planning for the postpartum period - from dog care and feeding ourselves to how we want to share our baby news and our rules for visitors. We've also shared some of this plan (aka our postpartum rules) with our parents to set some boundaries and hopefully get ahead of any issues. Wish us luck!

    Does pregnancy anxiety ever end?

    They tell you that you get to breathe a big sigh of relief once you make it past 12 weeks of pregnancy, but I'm calling BS! It seems like there's always something new to worry about in pregnancy and the uncertainty never ends. In this episode, I'm reflecting on what it's been like to deal with pregnancy anxiety, how it's impacted my pregnancy, how I try to deal with it, and why I'm pretty sure this pregnancy anxiety is just going to transform into parenting anxiety once our baby gets here!
