In this episode, we have the pleasure of sitting down with Jenna, who shares her personal journey and experiences through three different birth stories.

Jenna starts by reflecting on her first pregnancy and the excitement she felt while planning and preparing for the arrival of her first child. However, she also candidly discusses the challenges she faced during her postpartum period. Jenna shares her struggles with feeling lost and uncertain about what to do, and how she quickly realized the importance of planning for meals, mental health support, and managing visitors.

Learning from her first experience, Jenna discusses how she approached her second and third pregnancies with a newfound perspective. She delves into the changes she made in her planning process, prioritizing rest and self-care, and the positive impact it had on her overall adjustment during the postpartum period. Jenna emphasizes the significance of caring for both the body and mind during the fourth trimester and hopes to help other parents feel prepared and supported in their own postpartum journeys.

Drawing from her background as a registered nurse in pediatrics and mental health, Jenna shares how her experiences have given her a solid foundation in health and supporting families during times of need. She also reveals her personal studies in holistic health, nutrition, and pregnancy/postpartum, which have influenced how she supports her own physical and emotional well-being.
