@katieyovin: How I prepped my dream labor! First off, i’m SO excited to share that I started a Birth Prep Diaries series! Breaking down EVERYTHING I did in detail to prepare for all 3 of my births. Make sure you follow along 🫶 I’ve pushed all 3 of my babies out in less than 5 minutes & I’ve loved all 3 of my labors! Keep in mind, all these things are researched based to help PREP your body for birth! Of course, things can go different than you expected during labor and not quite as planned if you prepped or not, but all these things have been researched to have better labor outcomes! I started eating 4-6 dates per day around 34 weeks pregnant! Dates not only are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, but they’re known to help soften your cervix! I drank raspberry leaf tea daily starting at 35 weeks which is known to help strengthen your uterus which can hopefully lead to a quicker & more effective labor! I kept up with at least 3 strength training workouts per week which i followed my own pregnancy program on my app Thrive By Katie. I prioritized keeping my body strong and basically trained for labor! Exercise during pregnancy has many benefits for both mom & baby! Prioritized walking: walking is one of the best forms of exercise and can help get your baby in a more optimal position for birth! Birth prep: at about 35 weeks, i started implementing hip opening stretches and pelvic floor relaxation exercises that helped get my baby in optimal position for birth! Pelvic floor relaxation is important during this phase of pregnancy because your pelvic floor needs to relax and basically move out of the way in order to make room for baby! Staying consistent with these things I believe helped my body prep for labor as best as it could! My labor was such an amazing labor and my recovery has been great Ps.
