I’m sure I jumped for joy when Meghanne confirmed that she would be my midwife for my second pregnancy. I’d heard wonderful things about her from our women in our small community, and I understood why as soon as I met her. Meghanne is warm, funny, comforting, and completely ready to go above and beyond the call of duty if needed. We’re still so grateful for her steadiness and reassurance and would recommend her to any family wholeheartedly. - Hillary Y, Canmore 

 


 
I had struggled with infertility and hormone imbalance for years! When I met Meg I was at my wit's end. Meg took the time to get to the root of my body's imbalances and helped me formulate a plan to get my body back on track. I credit her curiosity, holistic approach and years of experience with helping me conceive my first baby. I was so pleased to have her support during my pregnancy and into the first year of breastfeeding. I feel nourished, balanced. I'm totally thriving! - Cara D,  Oregon

You guys, the first trimester is over!! Oh and we’re having a baby 😂 I’ve been pretty quiet the past four months. After 12 years of infertility I guess #babymakingandbeyond works and we got a bit caught off guard while away surfing this summer. The past 15 weeks have been spent in a state of deep gratitude and introspection, plus I’ve been lost in a cloud of all day morning sickness and first trimester fatigue. Today at 15 weeks, it’s all getting easier. I look down at my growing belly (and booty) and can finally feel such joy. It truly is a miracle. Life’s gonna change and we’re ready (kinda, well not really 🤣). Here are some of my first trimester survival tips you may find helpful. You’ll find wayyyyy more in our #babymakingandbeyond pregnancy course dropping in a few weeks (link in profile). 1- Nausea: keep eating small amounts and if it means only eating carbs, who cares, eat them. - try ginger and b6 as well as sea bands but if it doesn’t work don’t beat yourself up if you need diclectin or a similar drug. I’m taking 150% the standard dose and don’t feel one bit bad about it. 2- Fatigue: It’s normal, don’t stress, just rest and inject a little movement into your day. 3- Prenatal vitamins: Our Core 4 program has a comprehensive list of brands and supplements if you’re curious but if you find they make nausea worse just take a folate on days when it’s really bad. True story, I didn’t take ANYTHING until almost 7 Weeks, mostly because I was travelling and had no access to a pharmacy or amazon. You know what? , it’s ok. @realfoodliz gave me a piece of my own advice and reminded me that “ fetuses figure it out”. Side note, I was also in a zika infected country, in the jungle and got the worlds worst jellyfish sting... 🤦🏻‍♀️ guess what, it was all good and also a good exercise in remembering to just chill out, do your best and think about the big picture. 4- Cramping is scary but as long as you aren’t bleeding, it’s ok. 5- Be kind to yourself. Be in awe of your amazing body. No two bodies do pregnancy the same way, don’t compare yourself to others, just be yourself and own it. 💕
“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." -- Bruce Lee
The Spanish word for midwife in Guatemala is “comadrona.” Fun fact: Comadrona comes from the Latin “commater” which, although it means “godmother,” is actually a compound word that literally translates to “with mother.” .

A gentle reminder ..... Find peace with the things that are simply out of your control and focus your love and attention on the infinite world of choices that lie right in front of you 💕
