🎀Part 1: Zoey’s birth story ✨

1am Monday 3/8.. just another uncomfortable pregnant sleepless night. Every sensation lead me down the path of “is this early labor?!” And it never was.. Until now. One of my million trips to the bathroom that night I noticed possible signs of amniotic fluid. I changed my underwear, put a liner in and tried to fall asleep. When I had to change the liner 3x overnight I decided I’d call the midwife first thing.
By 6am my mind was racing so I dialed the midwife line and spoke with Haley who was on call. She told me to monitor the fluid for 1 hour with a full pad & then call back. The pad was filling. I couldn’t believe it. The first guaranteed sign that we’d have our baby soon. I called back & Haley suggested we drive up to the birth center for the swab test to confirm and to come up with a game plan..especially since I was GBS positive.
we were oddly calm and took our time getting out the door. We got there around 9:30am where the swab confirmed that my waters had started leaking..we were so excited and ready. But I knew we were on the clock - I had to be in active labor within 24hrs of my waters breaking or we’d be transferred to the hospital to get things moving. I also knew that I needed to be on established active labor in order to be admitted into the birth center.
So I asked to be checked to see where we were at.. around 10am I was 1cm & 80% effaced. I knew what I was in for, but totally up for it. I got my first dose of antibiotics through an IV for GBS and we were sent out shopping for the “midwife cocktail” ingredients to get things moving naturally. (Castor oil & Champaign blended with juice & almond butter 😝)
At 11am we were back home blending the ingredients so I could chug the cocktail 🥴
Very quickly I felt the champagne hit and I needed to lay down. then by 12:30pm I felt really crampy, so I got in the bath. (Continued in comments)

"how do you feel?”
"how does it feel to go through this yourself after guiding many others along?"
My 2 most faqs these days 🤪
The short answers: I feel great.. and yes, it's been awesome. but I’m still in it, so it’s hard to really wrap my head around everything. So here are my "almost there" thoughts..Our final few weeks spoiling Koda as our only child 🥰
⠀
It's been a wild ride. Every single person I get to work with is dealt a different hand.. and I am absolutely no different. like them, I’ve put tons of effort into my physical and mental health and I’m thrilled to enjoy those benefits 💫
⠀
One big thing sticks out so far ➡️ how far we've come..bc finding out you're pregnant just a few weeks after a miscarriage is quite the mind game.
Those early weeks felt like an eternity and consisted of some of my most challenging days to date. On top of the obvious fear of another loss, I was so worried that I would not be able to enjoy any bit of this pregnancy.
Those days were mostly filled with a cycle of stress, anxiety, guilt, & then nausea/exhaustion, etc.... But we got through it. And this is what I feel most proud of. I'm not sure when it actually shifted, but it was gradual and by the time we felt those first kicks I felt the gratitude, was more present & genuinely excited. But it was a serious mind game to get there and it took work.
Everyone faces their own challenges along the way & I encourage you to also look back and reflect on how much you’ve already overcome no matter where you are 💞
⠀
Babies are true miracles and we can't wait to show this girl how special she is to us so soon ☺️
⠀
TLDR: I approached my pregnancy the same way I guide anyone else in a Balance Zen program. The winning ticket = Listen to your body and roll with the cards dealt.
⠀
I am deep into focus mode with my current client load these final weeks -
1:1 training is waitlist only (for my return), but my postpartum on demand program is up! 🥳
Pregnancy course is on its way 💞
⠀
Happy Saturday 💫
