LaborPrep

Curb walking has officially been added to the list! Between eating dates, drinking raspberry leaf tea, collecting colostrum, staying active, and now this… I’m doing all the things that may help prepare my body for labor. 💙

Will it work? Maybe. Maybe not. But it definitely makes me feel like I’m doing something while I wait to meet our little guy. 🥹

I want to hear everything! 👇

What worked?

What do you wish you knew beforehand?

Did you stay on your pump and CGM?

How did you handle highs, lows, adrenaline, and all the unexpected moments?

I’m getting closer to meeting my little boy, and hearing real experiences from this community means so much. Whether your labor was induced, spontaneous, or a C-section, I’d love all the tips and advice you have.
