Today I talked to Cortney Smith about her pregnancy. Cortney had needs in her pregnancy, and she shares how she got those needs met.
Cortney said her pregnancy was an incredible journey, but she had a lot to learn. She had to manage first-trimester body changes, and things she didn’t understand.
She had to accept the fact that she had less energy, emotional changes, and did not always get things done like she was used to doing.
In the first trimester, Cortney experienced discomfort, morning sickness, and nausea all day. She was surprised that her body was changing so much. Through the journey of experiencing discomfort, she discovered how much stronger she is than she had thought.
Being present in the moment is challenging, but it is important in order to enjoy each day.
Her second trimester brought with it more energy. Cortney was excited to begin working out again. She reminds us that exercise is key to a good pregnancy. She recommends any kind of activity in pregnancy, just keep it moving, mama.
Cortney has an incredible husband, and he was her main support during pregnancy. She needed her husband as her emotional and spiritual support.
But she recognizes now that she really needed a group of women for support in her pregnancy too. Support is needed in pregnancy because (let’s be honest), we are SCARED. We need a reminder that we are stronger than we think we are.
Cortney was living away from her family, and her friends were not Mamas yet. She was challenged to find support from other seasoned mamas. However, the local pregnant mom’s group met on a day that was not convenient for Cort.
She was not able to connect with this group. So, she found mamas on the internet. She found support and community through online connections, women that were in the same season of life that she was in at the time.
She needed these sources to answer her questions: “How to approach food cravings, what to pack in my birth bag, and tips for sleeping.” These online sources became her encouragement in time of need.
The internet is a great place for community and information. But it is hard to find good quality sources.
I have an answer for you! We provide that community and information for your pregnancy, labor, and delivery in one place. It is super convenient, and it is credible information for you.
Preparing for labor and delivery is so important. Cortney looked to the internet, but she admits that online information is overwhelming.
The question is: “Where to start and who to trust?” There are classes that mamas can take, but some classes are not convenient. Like Cortney, mamas may have to drive several hours to find a good class.
This only adds to discomfort, stress, and financial pressure. Mamas need a good source of information at their fingertips.
Pearently is convenient for you, on your computer, and in your comfy environment. We provide everything you need for a FEARLESS labor, and delivery. We have 4 easy steps to help you overcome your FEAR of childbirth. We will coach you towards a beautiful childbirth experience.
