I really enjoyed handling routine “prenatal care” during my pregnancy with Sadie. In today’s episode I talk about what I did to care for myself and Sadie, why I still appreciated my midwife, and how directing my own care helped me bond with Sadie.
Topics I Cover in This Podcast:
- Why it’s so important to direct your own care during pregnancy
- Why I wanted to handle my own prenatal care
- The tools I used for my care
- What “clinical” signs I chose to monitor
- How I journaled my pregnancy
