Welcome ladies (& future mamas!),
In this video I share the 10 lifestyle changes that I made prior to even trying to get pregnant. With some research, consulting with both my Doctor and Naturopath and speaking with friends, I started making some changes to prepare my body and mind so that I would be in the best possible state before trying to conceive.
Some of the changes that I made might surprise you! I want to remind everyone that I am not an expert and some of the changes that I personally chose to make were exactly that - personal to me. You absolutely do not have to do all of these things in order to get pregnant. There are obvious things that I mention in the video that most would agree are pretty important to start before trying to get pregnant.
I hope that this list will help you with your pre-pregnancy preparations and help you feel confident that you are doing everything that you can to help yourself get ready for this super exciting time in your life!
As promised I have linked below some of my favourite products that I have been using. I never want to share anything that I don't feel 100% about, so these are not all of the products that I am using, but the ones that I have fallen in love with.
I am also linking some useful websites for more information on topics that I mentioned in the video.
Thanks for watching and subscribe for more pregnancy related content in the future!
