Question
What tools and techniques does Shari Stamps recommend for third-time moms-to-be?
Answer
As a mom of six and a wellness practitioner, I have a few go-to tools and tips for moms-to-be, especially those who are expecting for the third time.
Firstly, I recommend using tools like ovulation tests and pregnancy tests, such as the First Response Pregnancy Test, to help you track your fertility and confirm your pregnancy.
Secondly, it's important to prepare for the postpartum period. This includes planning for different areas of your home, self-care, and relationships. I offer a free virtual postpartum planning workshop to help families prepare for the fourth trimester and beyond.
Lastly, maintaining your mental health is crucial. Techniques like getting outside, eating protein, hydrating, checking nutrient levels, creating space, taking naps, asking for help, re-framing "musts", and giving yourself grace can be beneficial.
Remember, every pregnancy journey is unique, so it's important to find what works best for you. Would you like more specific advice on any of these areas?
