Show Notes
In this quarterly check-in episode of Doing It All(ish), we’re catching up on life, pregnancy, and everything in between.
Christina is 28 weeks pregnant after IVF, and we’re talking about what this pregnancy looks like compared to the first — from juggling a toddler to navigating extra scans, maternal fetal medicine, and the hidden risks that can come with IVF pregnancies.
We cover:
- Pregnancy after IVF and what genetic testing does (and doesn’t) guarantee
- Maternal fetal medicine vs. a regular OB-GYN
- Extra heart scans for IVF pregnancies
- Baby aspirin and reducing the risk of preeclampsia
- Pregnancy insomnia, swelling, and real 3rd trimester symptoms
- Labor positions and protecting your hips during delivery
- How pregnancy can lead to hip labral tears
- Prenatal vitamins, probiotics, and supplements
- The emotional side of transitioning out of the nursery phase
- And yes… canned potatoes as a pregnancy craving
If you’re pregnant, navigating IVF, preparing for birth, or simply trying to stay sane while raising toddlers and growing a business, this episode is an honest, unfiltered update from the thick of it.
We’d also love to hear from you — what labor position did you deliver in? And did anyone else crave something as random as canned potatoes?
