Pregnancy

Things I would do differently my next pregnancy.

1.) Listen to my body and not feel guilty about needing time off of work or going home early. My whole pregnancy I was vomiting a lot and my body was never getting enough sleep. My mom (bless her) but she said to find a way to work through it, which I agree with to a point because I think that is a very old school mindset. If anyone was showing symptoms of what women go through in pregnancy they would be sent home.

2.) Stay active regardless. I wish I would have kept up with walking at a minimum and yoga and Pilates at the max.

3.) Budget from the beginning/ save more money before pregnancy ( if able).

4.) Actually prepare my body for labor and delivery. I wanted an unmedicated birth but after sitting through the classes I realized I did not prepare my body for that and would end up tensing my body up and delaying or stopping the process.

5.) Put stuff for myself postpartum on the baby shower registry. With that include a note on the invite to please stick to the list as that is needed, over getting the same thing from everyone. Depending on the next baby’s gender just have people bring diapers and wipes.
