I spent 9+ months intentionally preparing my body for pregnancy (plus years prior of a nutrient-dense diet). I will not be ashamed or feel guilty for having a smooth pregnancy experience while others haven’t. I do not consider myself merely “lucky” as I do not consider all of the effort I put in to be “luck”.
A complication-free pregnancy is no accident for most women. It’s intentionally prepared for.
I encourage researching how to prepare, applying said information, and sticking to the same effort throughout pregnancy. I use my platform for exactly this, knowing that most women’s bodies are not prepared for pregnancy, despite being designed for it.
the countless ways women have been made to fear pregnancy upsets me. you’ll never understand how clear it is that women’s bodies were made for this until you experience it yourself. sure, that diagram looks scary – but I’m at the end of the third trimester now (so I am literally the second diagram picture) and my only complaint has been getting out of breath faster and sore feet. I love being pregnant and I’m already looking forward to my next.
