If I could go back and do my first pregnancy again, there are definitely a few things I'd do differently.
I'd hire a doula sooner.
I'd spend less time worrying about "staying fit" and more time preparing my body for birth.
I'd focus more on learning how to relax my pelvic floor instead of constantly trying to strengthen everything.
I'd spend more time preparing mentally for labor—because birth is just as much mental as it is physical.
And I'd absolutely continue getting adjusted throughout pregnancy. Looking back, chiropractic care was one of the most valuable tools I had for staying comfortable, moving well, and preparing my body for birth.
But the biggest thing?
I'd trust my body more.
Less fear. Less overthinking. More confidence that my body and baby knew exactly what they were doing.
If you're pregnant right now, know this: you don't have to do everything perfectly. Focus on supporting your body, preparing your mind, and trusting the process.
