I don\u2019t even remember what my body used to feel like! I’ve always imagined what it would be like to be pregnant one day. As it turns out – the experience has left me amazed and full of joy. And my baby isn\u2019t even here yet!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before Pregnancy<\/h5>\n

Before we even started trying for a baby, my husband and I talked about it a lot. Did we even want children? How many did we want? In what ways would it change our lifestyle?\u00a0 How would it change our relationship? So many questions! This was a huge life choice that we were making. And we wanted to make sure that were absolutely prepared for the journey ahead.<\/p>\n

Once we knew we were ready to start a family, I went to my doctor and asked her what I could do to help prepare my body. She suggested that I start taking a prenatal vitamin<\/a> or folic acid<\/a>, and continue to eat healthy and exercise. Unfortunately, after reading many reviews and even trying a few brands of prenatal vitamins, my body was struggling to absorb them and they were making me feel very sick. So I was given a prescription prenatal from my doctor that was split into an AM and PM pill and I had no issues!<\/p>\n

Then it happened – I was pregnant!\u00a0 It was a bit of a shock at first as we didn\u2019t expect it to happen so quickly \u2013 we thought it would take at least a few months. In that moment, we knew or lives were about to change forever and we could not have been happier!<\/p>\n

Pregnancy!<\/h5>\n

Physical Changes:<\/h4>\n

In the following weeks, I noticed physical changes starting to happen. Luckily, I did not experience a whole lot of morning sickness but I was definitely feeling tired, and my body was a little more achy then usual. For those moments when I was feeling nauseous, I found that popping a ginger candy<\/a>\u00a0really helped to ease my stomach. They were a life saver and I have them on me all the time now.<\/p>\n

Appetite:<\/h4>\n

My appetite also changed for a little while. I have been a vegetarian for almost two years so I was able to avoid the whole meat aversion altogether but I found myself wanting to eat more carbs than usual \u2013 pasta, potatoes, bread, and a lot of it!<\/p>\n

Exercise:<\/h4>\n

Towards the end of my first trimester, I started to feel more like myself again \u2013 I was getting my energy back and I thought it would be a good time to sign up for prenatal yoga to keep myself active. Yoga has really helped my body through all these changes, and the stretching and breathing is also helping to prepare my body for labour.<\/p>\n

Sleep:<\/h4>\n

Something else that has really helped me throughout my pregnancy is my Snoogle Body Pillow<\/a>.\u00a0 I heard mixed reviews about these body pillows but I find that it really does help me get a good night\u2019s sleep. It supports my neck, lower back and belly in ways that I don\u2019t think regular pillows could.<\/p>\n

Green & Natural:<\/h4>\n

Another important thing for me (which started before becoming pregnant) was introducing more natural products into my home and my personal care routine. Although it did not happen all at once, I can now say that about 90% of the products I use are natural and I plan on using natural baby products as well. \u00a0My favourite skin care product that I have been using since my belly started to grow is the Prenatal Ease Ultimate Oil<\/a> \u2013 I rub this on my belly every night to help prevent stretch marks and it’s amazing.<\/p>\n

Our Nursery<\/h5>\n

When it’s time to set up our nursery<\/a>, we really researched what were the essentials we needed. We didn\u2019t want to get sucked into buying things that we are never going to use or will only use a few times. We knew for sure that we wanted a safe place for baby to sleep, a comfortable chair<\/a> for feeding, a changing pad<\/a> and a diaper pail<\/a> because we live in a condo and don\u2019t want to constantly go to the garbage shoot to get rid of stinky diapers. All the rest is extra.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We also thought it would be nice to have a bassinet<\/a> in our room for the first couple of months, before moving the baby into the crib. For me, this went hand in hand with what I think we will need those first couple of days when we get home from the hospital and transition into our new life. Along with a nursing pillow<\/a>, some good nipple balm<\/a> and a good water bottle<\/a>. These are all things I will want by my side when I get home, especially because I plan on breastfeeding.<\/p>\n

Our Hospital Bag(s)<\/h5>\n

After the nursery was ready, it came time to start thinking about what we going to pack in our hospital bags. I didn\u2019t want to over pack, but I also thought it was important that each of us had own bags – one for mom, one for dad and one for baby. It not only helps me to keep things organized, but we all need very different things for our hospital visit so why not?<\/p>\n

My hospital bag:<\/h4>\n

In my bag, I\u2019ve packed a comfortable night gown that is loose and lightweight for after labour, and it\u2019s something that I can easily breast feed in. A good nursing bra is also very important to pack \u2013 my favourite maternity\/nursing bra has been the Bravado Designs Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra<\/a>. It\u2019s so soft and comfortable and, best of all, it\u2019s wire free.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also packed my breast pump \u2013 even though I plan on breast feeding, it might be helpful to have in case my milk doesn\u2019t come in right away. This was recommended to me by another mom, as most hospital check lists don\u2019t tell you to pack one.<\/p>\n

Something else a lot of people don\u2019t realize they need after birth is a pack of maternity pads. Extra absorbent period pads will also do just fine \u2013 most hospitals will only provide you with a few if any at all.<\/p>\n

A few other things I\u2019ve packed are a robe, slippers, hair ties, lip balm, body lotion, comfortable underwear and a coming home outfit.<\/p>\n

My husband\u2019s hospital bag:<\/h4>\n

My husband has packed a little lighter than me. He has packed overnight clothes, a pillow, and a blanket. Since he\u2019s also in charge of entertainment, he needs to make sure we take the iPad and chargers for our cell phones.<\/p>\n

Baby\u2019s hospital bag:<\/h4>\n

Finally, there\u2019s the baby\u2019s hospital bag. In his bag, I\u2019ve packed a few sleepers and undershirts, a hat, scratch mitts, two swaddling blankets, a pacifier, travel size natural bath products for his first bath, wipes and about 30 diapers.\u00a0 Also, don\u2019t forget to take your car seat!<\/p>\n

Now that everything is ready, I am anticipating my baby boy\u2019s arrival and can\u2019t wait for this next chapter to begin. I\u2019ve been savouring all the highs and lows of being pregnant – it\u2019s something that I never want to forget.<\/p>\n

Let me know in the comments how your journey is going (or went)!<\/p>\n
