Well, luckily for you, that’s exactly what this podcast episode is about!There are some key things that I’ve been ensuring I do during this pregnancy to help me feel great and keep me in really good health. Thankfully I’ve managed to feel pretty decent for my whole pregnancy - no gestational diabetes, virtually no nausea or morning sickness and minimal cravings (although I did have a bout of awful headaches and a weird texture aversion in my first trimester which meant I ate my body weight and more in celery, carrots and hummus because nothing else really interested me 😂).So if you want to know about some of the key things I’ve been focusing on doing during my pregnancy and some of those pregnancy rules I am following, pop in your headphones and tune in! I won’t give too much away here 😉This episode is for you if:You’re currently pregnant or trying to conceiveTrying to understand what to supplement during pregnancy makes you quite stressed and/or confusedYou’re insulin resistant or think you might beYou want to know some ways that I’m ensuring optimal health during my pregnancyExercising during pregnancy (and knowing what’s okay) is something you find quite confusingYou want my thoughts on the Covid-19 vaccine in pregnancySome things we cover in this episode:General nutrition guidelines I agree with in pregnancy What I’m doing to best support my PCOS nutritionally during pregnancyWhat supplements I’m takingCovid vaccine and pregnancy — my thoughtsThe exercise rules I am following for pregnancy What additional things I’m doing to help me prepare for labour/birthResources and References:My Book: Getting Pregnant with PCOS64: What you need to know about pelvic floor health (and no it’s not just for those that are postpartum) with Caitlin Day (The Vagina Physio)Links to our programs:The PCOS ProtocolEggducated
