Preparing for a subsequent pregnancy is a whole different ball game compared to first time around.
There will be days where you wonder why on earth you want to add another little bundle to your family! How will you ever manage another one? Are you ready? Are they ready for a little brother or sister? How can you spread the love between more than one?
I know I swing from “yes absolutely” to “no way” a few times a day!
Preparing for baby number two, three and beyond certainly seems to involve a lot more mental gymnastics than first time around, but the physical preparation should be the same.
But it’s often not.
Here’s What We’re Talking About:
- Why your cycles are not the same after having a baby
- Breastfeeding and the return of fertility
- Post-natal depletion
- Using the four pillars of fertility to prepare yourself to go again – nutrition, exercise & movement, sleep & stress management
