Andrea Ahonen is on this episode sharing her motherhood journey with us. 
She starts with sharing her birth stories of her two daughters who were both "big babies." She had completely different experiences after doing research and finding a provider to support her choices. Andrea was later diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2017 and went on to have two more babies. This last year she learned of a surprise 5th pregnancy.  She opens up about the loss of this pregnancy on this episode.  Andrea's story so beautifully portrays the ups and downs that come with motherhood.  She is an inspiration and a perfect guest for this Mother's Day episode.
 
Andrea's favorite resources:
A great doula! 
A fantastic provider(s) - my OB & midwife practice combo is amazing!

Kim Nissan's introduction to motherhood felt more like introduction by fire than a fairy tale as she navigated severe sleep deprivation and isolation that came with infant eczema, acid reflux, a pandemic, and intense dietary restrictions for her breastfeeding journey.

She spent so much time Googling and reading and Pinterest-ing to make her way through pregnancy, labor and delivery, the fourth trimester and everything that comes after. But there was so much info she WISHED she had known. That info is what you’ll find in her resources. She creates practical resources to help you stress less and love momming more.
