Preparing your body (and mind) for pregnancy is one of the most important things you can do for your baby’s health but also, your own well-being as a mom.

As a mom who struggled a lot during my first postpartum and a holistic nutritionist and functional women’s health practitioner who works with other moms through this period of life, I knew that I wanted to give this area more attention and especially time when it came to my second pregnancy.

Is It Time We Re-Think Using "Easy" To Describe Pregnancy?

Have you ever heard the term “easy pregnancy?” There’s nothing inherently malicious about describing a pregnancy as “easy”- especially when comparing a smooth experience to a more challenging one.
