It’s been five years since I had my first miscarriage, and what a journey it’s been. Lots of very low moments mixed in with a few high points (which didn’t last very long), especially after my second miscarriage. I wasn’t sure if I would ever become a mom and so the research side of my brain took over as I tried everything to support my health, hormones and fertility. I’ve written about my fertility journey a few times, if you want to read about my journey to date you can read this and this post.
Flash forward to today, I’m five months pregnant with identical twin boys! I still haven’t wrapped my brain around this, but I’m sharing now because I can’t really hide it anymore, no matter how many layers of clothing I wear. I have a belly! It hasn’t been an easy pregnancy, as I recently stopped throwing up and the nausea just ended. I’m not excited about food yet, but I hope my appetite comes back soon. Apparently with twins, you have triple the hormones which leads to increased sickness. Plus, they share a placenta, which also means extra pregnancy sickness. The irony in all of this is that all of my prenatal clients who worked with me and followed my program weren’t sick their entire pregnancies. It’s been both a huge learning and very humbling experience, but feeling grateful for all of it.
I have no idea what finally worked for us since I feel like I tried it all, from acupuncture, working with a fertility doctor an endocrinologist, energy healing, pelvic floor physical therapy, chiropractic care, myofascial release, colonics and of course eating for my hormones. I have no doubt that this all supported my mental and physical health, and thats always a huge positive. The one thing that I’ve learned over the past five years is that life is unpredictable, messy, challenging and oh so wonderful all at the same time. With all sincerity and love, if you are in the thick of it all please know that I’m always here to listen and support you and am only a phone call away.
So with all this being said 2020 is going to look a little different… how could it not!
My only group program in the first half of the year for supporting hormones with diet and lifestyle starts on Monday, January 27th. The next one will be in the Fall of 2020. I will only be working with a few one-on-one clients until the Fall, so if you want personalized support please reach out today to find a time to connect. I will be working with my corporate wellness clients until my due date and then back again in the late Summer. I will continue to share my journey with you all and since I’m feeling better I will be posting more on social media.
Thanks so much for all of the support over the years.
