There are very few people that we work with who don't need to supplement Vitamin D3 during their pregnancy. Check with your healthcare provider to know what your Vitamin D levels are and read Lily Nichol's blog post about the importance of Vitamin D during pregnancy for more information.

Magnesium is our next top supplement during pregnancy. Magnesium helps prevent many common pregnancy discomforts such as constipation, heartburn, restless legs, and insomnia. Low levels of magnesium are associated with increased risks for mom and baby, too, so it's not just about keeping you comfortable! .

Lily Nichols is the queen of nutrition during pregnancy! Her blog and website are chock full of great information on how to help your body stay healthy while you're growing a baby. If you want it all in one place, I can't say enough great things about her book, "Real Food for Pregnancy." We wish all of our clients would read this one!

You're also going to want to learn about birth so you and your partner are prepared for whatever the day brings your way. There's no way to know what your baby's birth day will be like and the goal is for you all to be ready for whatever happens. We've had several clients take the "Happy Homebirth Academy" childbirth class and feel so well prepared! We love that it has given them the confidence to navigate the birth process with all its twists and turns. You can sign up by clicking the link below!

In addition to getting your mind ready for birth, you'll also want to help your body prepare for birth. You are preparing for a major physical event in your life and your body will do so much better during the process if you help it be physically prepared. While there's nothing you can do to guarantee the birth outcome you're hoping for, a program like One Strong Mama will definitely help you stack the deck in your favor for a smooth, natural birth. By working to create balance and space in your core and pelvic floor, One Strong Mama will help set you up for a straight forward delivery and an easier postpartum recovery.
