1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Once I was like in that mental position and was like, yes,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: we can start trying now. In the very first month

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: we started trying and it didn't happen. I was so disappointed,

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: and I just knew that I was ready. Welcome back

Speaker 2: Let's do this.

18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcast.

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: I have a solo podcast for you today and we

20
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: are doing a bit of a pregnancy Q and A.

21
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: So I announced to you guys a couple of weeks ago,

22
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: now that me and Tim are pregnant, and as I'm recording,

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: I am fifteen weeks pregnant. So I've had quite a

24
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: lot of messages and dms just asking various questions, just

25
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: because I have been very open about our fertility struggles

26
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: and our fertility journey in it has not been easy

27
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: to get here, and of course I'm so happy to

28
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: answer all the questions. It's just a lot easier if

29
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: I do it in a format like this. So if

30
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: you haven't heard my first pregnancy episode, I would recommend

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: listening to that first, just because I'm not going to

32
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: go into the whole journey. I'm just going to answer

33
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: the questions that you guys ask on Instagram, so I

34
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: would go and listen to that at first. I will

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: link it in the show notes, but otherwise let's get

36
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: straight into it. I've tried to put the questions in

37
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: our order, I guess, and of course, before we get

38
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: into the episode, just a big thank you for other

39
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: lovely messages and support. We are very happy and very

40
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: excited and I do appreciate it. Okay, so first question,

41
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: what are some mind slash mental health tips used when

42
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: trying to conceive? Okay, this is a hard one because

43
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: me and Tim started trying at the start of last year,

44
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: so it did take us over a year to get pregnant,

45
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: and it was honestly such a mind fuck because I

46
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: think if you think about it, we are told from

47
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: a very young age as females that you know, make.

48
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: Sure you use protection.

49
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Because if not, you'll get pregnant. And so you know,

50
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: from the age of when we first start having sex,

51
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: it's you know, absolutely trying not to get pregnant, and

52
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: then as soon as you are then trying to get pregnant,

53
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: it's like this weird concept of when it's not happening,

54
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: of like what is wrong with me? Because you just

55
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: assume that you don't wear protection one month and bam,

56
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: you should get pregnant.

57
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 2: So literally, at the start of.

58
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Me and Tim trying every single month, I thought, oh,

59
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: this is the month, and then when it was about

60
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: six months down the track, I was like, something's not

61
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: adding up. And I'm a very proactive person too, because

62
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: once my mind was set onto it, I was like, yes,

63
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: like we're getting pregnant.

64
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: This is the next thing.

65
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: I had planned my whole year of being pregnant that

66
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: year and whatnot, So I guess for me, I went

67
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: through a bit of a mindset where I was really

68
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: trying to control it. So I was trying to you know,

69
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: I was ad measuring my ovulation, and I was doing

70
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: all the fertility tricks and all these sorts of things,

71
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: and honestly, I was thinking about it a lot, and.

72
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: It did consume me.

73
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: Like I remember, I said my other podcast, it being

74
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: like August last year and not drinking much because I's sorry,

75
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: August is my birthday, So my birthday in August last year,

76
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: and like not drinking too.

77
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: Much and being like I could be pregnant.

78
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: But like this was every single month, and then at

79
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the end of the month when I would get my period,

80
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: it was just like such a lowe because, like I said,

81
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: for so long, you think you can just get pregnant

82
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: so easy, and when it's not happening, it's like, what

83
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: is wrong with me? So I like, mental health wise,

84
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: was not great last year because I was really stuck

85
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: in this mentality of if we weren't pregnant, it was

86
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: a failed month and what is wrong with me? And

87
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: it was this really negative experience. What helped me is

88
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: really swapping that around and instead of being like you know,

89
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: me and him are trying to conceive we want a baby,

90
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: and really being like strong with that, I tried to

91
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: flip it around and this was like encouraged by my acupuncturists,

92
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: and it was like.

93
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: Me and Tim are open.

94
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: To receiving a baby this month and it doesn't happen.

95
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 1: You know, it's not our time, and it's okay because

96
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: I know what's happening. See that like kind of mindset,

97
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: mindset change like that was quite And don't get me wrong,

98
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: like I probably did this maybe the last four months

99
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: of us trying. I really did not get this happening

100
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: at the start, and I wish I did because you know,

101
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: as everyone tells you, like just stop thinking about it,

102
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: just surrender, And it's just the last thing you want

103
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: to hear because you think to get something you should

104
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: be trying and you should be pushing. But I'm going

105
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: to be that person and say when you do surrender,

106
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: when you let our you, when you kind of relax

107
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: and you're like it is happening in the perfect timing

108
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I was really able to kind of like yeah,

109
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: surrender and relax and get into it. Something also right

110
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: at the end when we were doing the IUI cycles,

111
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: which I will get into soon. Is I was seeing

112
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: affirmations like, you know, my body is made to create

113
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: a human, a baby I am. You know, if you

114
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: think about a woman's womb literally creates a human out

115
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: of nothing like it, it's crazy. So I'd say stuff like,

116
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a woman, I am a born creator.

117
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, I manifest and create my reality all the time.

118
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: There is nothing different about this pregnancy and stuff like that,

119
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: and like my body is ready to receive, and various

120
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: pregnancy affirmations were very helpful me help fall towards me

121
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: towards the end. But I would very much encourage you

122
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: to try and not put all your energy towards trying

123
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: and have some like outlets and surrender. I know that's

124
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: like the hardest thing to hear when you are trying,

125
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: but towards the end, that is really what helped me.

126
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: So next question tips on preparing your body for pregnancy.

127
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna lie. It's not like I was like, oh,

128
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: now we're trying to get pregnant and I changed too much, obviously.

129
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: I as soon as we were trying to get pregnant,

130
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: I started taking prenatals, which and they were like quite

131
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: a good grade. They weren't just like prenatals like ele

132
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: of it from the pharmacy. They were like from my

133
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: nature paths, so they were a very good quality. And

134
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: my acupuncturists, sorry, my nature path did say there is

135
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: a difference. So if you can get like a higher

136
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: grade quality from like a nature path or online, getting

137
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: that sort of prenatal is better. So I started taking

138
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: a prenatal You are supposed to take that like three

139
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: months before you even start trying, but like we didn't,

140
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: and thank god because we didn't get pregnant soon. So

141
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: I was on prenatals for literally a year before we

142
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: got pregnant. Other than that, honestly, I lead a pretty

143
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: healthy lifestyle, probably not towards the stress side of things,

144
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: but which you know, could have been such a contributing factor.

145
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: But I was still exercising, eating well, there wasn't too

146
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: much I did differently personally because I already do lead

147
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: a pretty i would say, healthy lifestyle. So next question,

148
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: tip for anyone struggling to get pregnant. So, like I

149
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: said before, the whole like the surrendering and the letting

150
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: go was such a big thing for me because I

151
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: think every month was so stressful, which did not help.

152
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: And also, I guess if it hasn't been happening for

153
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: around six months, I would go and start getting test done.

154
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: Because when we got test done, that's when I found

155
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: about found out about my hashimotos, which was contributing factor

156
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: to us not getting pregnant. And I know a lot

157
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: of people they say, you know, try a year or

158
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: two and then look into it. But I guess, like

159
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm just such a proactive person that imagine if I

160
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: didn't look into that, and I wouldn't have found out

161
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: that health issue. So if it's kind of not happening

162
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: for you know, six months or so, I would just

163
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: go to your doctrine just say, you know, can I

164
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: get some tests done and just check all your levels,

165
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: get things tested, because it literally just could be a

166
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: matter of like sorting out your hormones or something like that.

167
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: So I would suggest.

168
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: And also for me, that was.

169
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Quite helpful for me mentally because I knew I was

170
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: taking steps. It wasn't just me sitting there every month

171
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: hoping I was pregnant. We were taking steps. So we're

172
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: getting tests done, we're seeing doctors, and I did find

173
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: that helpful for us. Next question, where can I find

174
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: the spirit baby meditation? So this from previous podcasts. I

175
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: think from my miscarriage podcast and maybe the first pregnancy

176
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: podcast where I do chat about.

177
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: Probably for the last.

178
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: Since having my miscarriage, which was September last year, I

179
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: started doing these spirit baby meditations which were basically sitting

180
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: in a meditation and connecting to my unborn child. It

181
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: sounds really weirde but bear with me. And I got

182
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: this from a book. So the book is called Spirit Babies,

183
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: How to Communicate with the Child You're Meant to Have,

184
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: and it's by Walter mckicken mcchin. Okay, just look for

185
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: a Walter in the author. So I found this book

186
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: super helpful when I did have the miscarriage and also

187
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: when I was trying. Yeah, it was just like a

188
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: really good resource. Also, while I'm here, another great podcast

189
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: that I listened to which was really helpful. So another

190
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: podcast is The Fertile Ground by Spencer Brosard. So her

191
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: podcast is called Fertile Ground a Mind Body Approach to

192
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: getting pregnant, and I used to listen to her podcasts

193
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: and I really found them great to like, I guess

194
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: feel resonate with. And she also went through a fertility journey. Okay,

195
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: next question, what made you guys try IUI instead of IVF. So, guys,

196
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: we did i IUI to get pregnant, and it was

197
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: our second cycle of trying and we did full And

198
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: so the reason that we tried IUI first was because

199
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: medically there was kind of no reason why me and

200
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: Tim shouldn't have gotten pregnant. So, I know, with IVF

201
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: it is used in circumstances where you know, maybe the

202
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: male sperm isn't healthy enough and they need to really

203
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, pick a certain sperm and you know in

204
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: certain in the egg or sometimes you know women who

205
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: have ENDO or who have PCOS. My brother and her

206
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: his wife did IVF and she had PCOS. So IVF

207
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: was definitely an option we were looking into. But when

208
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: we did speak to my obstetrician, he basically was like,

209
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, like, medically, there isn't any reason why you

210
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: shouldn't be getting pregnant in a very physical sense. So

211
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, there could be stuff going on

212
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: because at the time my thyroid had was in a

213
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: better place where you know, we could so if you

214
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: guys don't know. When I got the hashimotos, my thyroid

215
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: was really damaged and not good that we were actually

216
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: encouraged to stop trying until it was better. I then

217
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: got my implants out and felt so much more healthier

218
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: and my thyroid issues completely settled, and the doctor was like, Yep,

219
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: you guys can now start trying again. Everything's all good.

220
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: And so he was basically like, because there is medically

221
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, I would encourage you to try UI first

222
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: because first of all, it's cheaper and it is less invasive.

223
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: So the difference with them is with aUI it's basically

224
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: like turkey based. I think turkey based because I'm not

225
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: getting my eggs out or anything like that, and it's

226
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: simply getting tim sperm inserting it into my vagina at

227
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: the highest point of my uterus, and that's basically it.

228
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: And then from them is completely natural, and the sperm

229
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: has to like swim up, find the egg, implant and

230
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: what not. So it's actually the same chances as a natural,

231
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: like trying naturally, but the difference is the timing. So

232
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: with IUY, you do have some injections that you do

233
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: daily that make sure you're ovulating, and you do get

234
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: blood tests done to make sure you're ovulating and to

235
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: know when you're ovulating, and then in the perfect timing,

236
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: the doctors insert the sperm. And so for me personally,

237
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: what that did is it really took the stress out

238
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: of it for me because the guys, you guys, you

239
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: guys know I we'd various for life. It's not so

240
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: much stressful, it's just like busy. And so for example,

241
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: when I was tracking my ovulation, some months, I would

242
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: ovulate literally at day twelve, and some months it was

243
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: like day eighteen, depending if we had a launch with

244
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest, if I was doing something, you know, with

245
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: my Rise and Conquered project, And so it was just

246
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of hard for me because obviously I was the

247
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: person who was like, oh, you know, I'm ovulating around

248
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: this time, this is when we should have sex, and

249
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: it just felt like a lot of the weight rested

250
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: on me to get the timing right. So with IUI,

251
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: it completely took that off my shoulders and it was

252
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: almost like we knew it was the perfect timing. We

253
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: had done the most possible and if it happened, it

254
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: was divine timing and meant to be and if it didn't,

255
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: it just felt better to me. So our plan was

256
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: always to do around four cycles of IO and then

257
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: if that didn't happen, the doctor said, after four that's

258
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: when we generally tell you to start IVF. So with IVF,

259
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: they generally say you need to be trying for around

260
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: a year before you inquire about it, which technically me

261
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: and Tim did meet, but you know, because we did

262
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: know I could feel pregnant naturally because of our miscarriage

263
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: in the previous year, we were just like, let's try IUY.

264
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: It's less invasive and it is cheaper, and then if

265
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, we'll, you know, then go down the

266
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: IVF route. And we were definitely going to do it

267
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: this year, but we're like, let's just see how it goes.

268
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: So the price difference, I think I U Y is

269
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: around five hundred dollars per cycle after you get medicare back,

270
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: whereas IVF can be you know, if you do BOLK

271
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: build IVF, it can literally be fIF teen hundred, like

272
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: quite cheap up to I got quoted by what's that

273
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: famous IVF place for. Yeah, anyway, I got quoted by

274
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: like another obstetrician in the previous year for seven and

275
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: a half grand. So IVF can be very monash monash,

276
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking of. IVF can be very expensive.

277
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: So we're like, let's just try IUI and see how

278
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: it goes. And it did work. And that's the reason

279
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: why I really wanted to be open about our fertility journey,

280
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: because we actually didn't know what IUI was until one

281
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: of Tim's friends told us about it, and he was

282
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: in the same boat where he was like, you know, medically,

283
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: there's no reason why we shouldn't get pregnant, but it's

284
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: not happening, and we want to get pregnant. So we

285
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: tried this procedure and we fell the first time. So

286
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. If you were someone who's like, you've

287
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: got the test done, you know, you've been trying for

288
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: over six months, You've got all the tests done, and

289
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the doctor's like, oh, you know, your partner sperms are good, technically,

290
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: you're all healthy. Inquiring into EUI is something I could

291
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: not recommend enough because it is an invasive, it's not

292
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: too expensive, and it just takes the pressure off the

293
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: female and especially if you're someone who's like, I'm ready,

294
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: I want a baby. I don't want to be guessing

295
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: and waiting another year. I just think it's such an

296
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: amazing option, So I really wanted to tell.

297
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: You guys about it.

298
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so another person asked, what futility tests you suggest

299
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: to get before trying, So definitely get like your thyroid checked,

300
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: your hormones checked. You want to get tests like, you know,

301
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: testing for whooping cough, and there's a couple of other Oh.

302
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: So a big thing for me was when I got

303
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: those tests done in high school. I'm pretty sure every

304
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: every female is supposed to get a Rubella shot to

305
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: make sure you don't get the German measles, which can

306
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: be really damaging to a fetus. You can get really

307
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: bad birth defects. And when I got that blood test done,

308
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: I actually wasn't immune to rebella and had to get

309
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: the needle again, which is quite lucky because if you're

310
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: not immune and you do get pregnant, the doctors are

311
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: quite like you cannot go, you know, near children, and

312
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: it's just, yeah, you want to be pretty careful about that.

313
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: So just go to your doctor and they're gonna know

314
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: all the test you should get.

315
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: R and CEFAM.

316
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: Are you currently trying to grow your hair, get glowing

317
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: skin and nails, or help your gut health, well look

318
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: no further because Naked Harvest's collagen powder is here to

319
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: change it all. Did you know that age twenty five,

320
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: our body starts producing as much collagen itself and then

321
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: that amount decreases every single year. So this is important

322
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: to know because our skin, which is our biggest organ

323
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: is made up of seventy five percent collagen and guy's

324
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: collagen is just a protein, So it does make sense

325
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: why we start seeing signs of aging around this time.

326
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: And this is why we called our collagen the beauty Elixa,

327
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: because it really is a beauty supplement that is going

328
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: to help you glow from the inside out. So even

329
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: though this supplement has amazing esthetic results, you've probably seen

330
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: my before and after hair photos and my nail snaps

331
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: on my stories. But more than that, collagen is such

332
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: an important building block to so many parts of our body.

333
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: So not only is your skin going to glow, your

334
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: hair and nails grow, but it's also going to help

335
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: with your gut health and we all know how important

336
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: that is. So there's two options with the Naked Harvest

337
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: collagen Elixa. There is a pure option which I love

338
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: to add to smoothies and my coffees, or a pine

339
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: coconut option which is so fresh and so delicious. I

00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,040

346
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: So another person asks been trying to get pregnant for

347
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: eight months?

348
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 2: Any tips?

349
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: Like I said, go go to your doctor, get the tests,

350
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: and then also look into EUI. Next question, how did

351
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: you know you were ready to be a mum? So

352
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: this is an interesting question because I'm very open about

353
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: not being maternal and so I don't know for years.

354
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: Like I even told Tim, I was like, there's no

355
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: way I'm having kids before I'm third, Like I'm going

356
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: to smash.

357
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: Into my career.

358
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: When I wanted to be a lawyer, I was like,

359
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: I want to make partner and then I'll have kids,

360
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: and you know, all these sorts of stuff like kids

361
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: were really.

362
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: Not high on my radar.

363
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: And it's really funny because we had always kind of

364
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: decided after things were going really well with Naked Harvest

365
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: and my business and find a huge thing for me.

366
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: It was like, I want to be financially stable and

367
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: I want to be able to take time off to

368
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: have a kid. That was a big thing for me.

369
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: And so when we were in that position, so last year,

370
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: we were supposed to go to Europe, and early on

371
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: in the year when all the COVID stuff happen, we

372
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of sat down and we were like and then

373
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: we were sorry, had always planned to have kids after Europe.

374
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: It was like, let's take Europe off. Yep, everything else

375
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: is good now.

376
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Let's try.

377
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: And so we're like, do we wait and try and

378
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: go to Europe next year, or do we try and

379
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: have kids? And I said to him, like, I was

380
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: just like, Oh, I just don't know when COVID's gonna stop.

381
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: Why don't we just like start trying now. We both

382
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of decided that we'd just start trying now and

383
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: then we'd go to Europe, you know, a.

384
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: Couple of years later with little baby.

385
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: And so we like we made that logical decision, and

386
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: then honestly, after making that logical decision, it is like

387
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: like a switch flipped and I became so maternal and

388
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: so obsessed with having our own baby. It's the weirdest thing,

389
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Like I guess, like, yeah, So the process for us

390
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: was like, logically, yes, financially we can afford it. Yes,

391
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: I would be able to take time for my business

392
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: because we've set out the business and we have a team.

393
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: And then also the whole tim being in that position

394
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: too to help me and tick to those boxes off.

395
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: Once I was like in that mental position, was like, yes,

396
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: we can start trying now. In the very first month,

397
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: we started trying and it didn't happen. I was so disappointed,

398
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: and I just knew that I was ready and yeah,

399
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: so next, let's get on to like talking about actually

400
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: getting pregnant. So we did find out we're pregnant on

401
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: the last day of our holiday at Ularu, which was

402
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: very special and very exciting. It was actually probably about

403
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: four days early then getting the blood tests from the

404
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: place where we get the IY but I knew I

405
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: could technically take the test, and I really wanted to

406
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: know on the last day because yeah, I thought it

407
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: would be special and it was positive. So someone asked,

408
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: did you have any pregnancy symptoms before getting a positive test?

409
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: This is interesting because I was actually chatting to a

410
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: girlfriend and when you were trying to get pregnant, every

411
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: single month, the pregnancy symptoms are the exact same as

412
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: the symptoms of getting period. So it's like the tender breass,

413
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: it's the mood changes.

414
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: And various things.

415
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: And every single month I would get through symptoms but

416
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: then get my period. So on the month we actually

417
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: were pregnant, I honestly didn't feel different. It felt like

418
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: every other month, and I actually didn't think I was

419
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: pregnant because of that, Like I felt like a little

420
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: bit different, but yeah, not that different. And so it

421
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: was really funny to my girlfriend because I was like,

422
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: you know, you think the month you're pregnant, it's going

423
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: to feel like so different and you're just going to know,

424
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: and I just, yeah, I didn't. It felt like every

425
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: other month. Tim did say I was acting a bit weird.

426
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: He's just like not like I knew I was acting weird,

427
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, he said, I was like a little bit

428
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: like yeah, He's just like I don't know. I just

429
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: felt like a weird presence from you. And Tim thought

430
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: I was pregnant too before we know, because he just

431
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: had vibes tuitive that boy. So next question, do you

432
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: feel your pregnancy came at the perfect time? This is

433
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: a load of question, but because I would have loved,

434
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, I would have loved to get pregnant at

435
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: the start of last year when we were trying. But

436
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: in saying that, the journey of not getting pregnant, finding

437
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: out I had hoshy motos, dealing with that, and then

438
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: a big thing, and then obviously having the miscarriage and

439
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: then getting my implants out was such a journey And

440
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: something I am so happy about was getting my implants

441
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: out because even now, like after seeing the information about

442
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, females with implants and literally the baby sucking

443
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: on your breast and there's an implant right there and

444
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: they could be getting toxins, and just how the implants

445
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: really poisoned my body, and I truly do believe they did.

446
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: I just would have hate to still had my implants

447
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: and being pregnant, and you know.

448
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

449
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: I just am really happy that things turned out the

450
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: way they did and I had to get my implants

451
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: out or I chose to, because I really do feel

452
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: so much better. And it's really crazy because when I

453
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: was pregnant the first time, holy shit, I could feel

454
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: it and I felt like I was dying. So I remember,

455
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: like even Melanchobal like yeah, like you look horrible, and

456
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: just I was so unwell, and I could just imagine

457
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: that pregnancy being so difficult because even now being super helpful,

458
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: I've still had you know, sickness and various stuff happen.

459
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: So imagine if I was unwell and that pregnancy would

460
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: have been so hard, and I just yeah, it would

461
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: have been a whole different story. And so I am

462
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: super grateful that I found out about my hoshomotos, that

463
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: I got my implants out, and it's you know, led

464
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: me to. I think the biggest thing that I'm thankful

465
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: for with our fertility journey is when we got pregnant

466
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: this time, Holy crap. I was just so appreciative, and

467
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: even like this morning, like I just like I saw

468
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: T him and I just have these feelings of we

469
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: are so lucky because I know how hard it is,

470
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, to even feel pregnant. I know so many

471
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 1: of my friends and how they feel it's how I

472
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: felt trying to get pregnant, and I think, like, I just,

473
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's definitely a different appreciation for me personally.

474
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: I just know, if I was to get pregnant that

475
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: first couple of months and then I was to get

476
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, this crying baby, or even you know, I

477
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: couldn't do something work wise because of my baby, I

478
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: think there would have been a bit of resentment or like,

479
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, had I got into this too fast or

480
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, what have I done? But because our journey

481
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: has been quite long and has included heartbreaks and really

482
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: being a journey, I just know once we are holding

483
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: our little baby and the hard times will just we

484
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: will get through them because of this appreciation. Because of this,

485
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, me knowing how hard it was to create

486
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: this child. For me personally, I just think and someone

487
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: did say this to me, and I honestly like when

488
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: they first said it, when I'm just first trying to

489
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: get pregnant, I did think it was not rude, but

490
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, they were like, you know, maybe.

491
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: This is happening.

492
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: So when you do get pregnant, you do appreciate it

493
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: and you realize how special it is. And I just

494
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: know it is going to be so special and I

495
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: am going to appreciate it so much more. And yeah,

496
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I think it is the perfect timing.

497
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, life happens for me, not to me.

498
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: So this is the journey when we're meant to be

499
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: gone obiviously, this is the baby we're meant to have, like,

500
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: and I just think it's gonna work out perfect. I'm

501
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna have this little angel child and it's gonna be perfect.

502
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: So I can't say anything, but yes, this is the

503
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: perfect timing. Next question, any other food cravings or food aversions. Hm,

504
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: So I've been craving fresh fruit, absolutely, loving asaiah boals

505
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: even though it's like freezing here in Queensland it's not

506
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: that cold, but loving fresh fruit. I'm really off meat,

507
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: so any dark meat, can't stand steak or like lamb

508
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Can only really eat chicken, and

509
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: also really really off vegetables. So the site of like

510
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: vegetables or salad right at the start literally made me gag.

511
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: It was so lucky that I could have our naked

512
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: harvest greens powder which is family friendly. And I'll get

513
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: into the supplements soon because I just was not consuming

514
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: it because I could not stand it, like it would

515
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: literally make me gag.

516
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: I am.

517
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: Now I'm in the second trimester. I am able to

518
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: eat more salad and vegetables, but I do not find

519
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: them appealing. Yeah, and just really craving like fresh fruit.

520
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: I love oats, I love wraps and anything in bread.

521
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: I think like getting that kind of carb sauce is

522
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: really important because I am noticing I'm more hungry, and

523
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: I am noticing I have to eat more often. So

524
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm someone who doesn't like snacking and I like having breakfast, lunch,

525
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: and dinner and that's it. And now that I'm pregnant,

526
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: I literally have like breck one breakfast, two lunch morn

527
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: afternoon tea, pre dinner, snack, and dinner and sometimes dessert.

528
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: Because if I don't eat in those amounts of times,

529
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: like every two or three hours, I get nauseous and vomit,

530
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: which is not great. And Yeah, so that leads me

531
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: into my next question, which is were you sick in

532
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: the first trimester. I honestly felt really good, Like at

533
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: the start of my pregnancy. I remember going to my

534
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: natch path when I was about probably five or six

535
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: weeks and she's like asking me if I felt different,

536
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: and I was like, nah, still got my energy. I

537
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: was still doing pilates classes. Did not feel sick like

538
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: at all. And then I think it was around week

539
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: it was like week six or seven. Holy shit, it

540
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: like it hit me like a ton of bricks. I

541
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: was so nauseous. I started to vomit a little bit.

542
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: Actually didn't. I didn't vrom it until week eleven, which

543
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: was weird. But week seven to week eleven it felt

544
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: like I was permanently hungover.

545
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like.

546
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: That feeling where you're like, Okay, you can kind of

547
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: do life tasks, but you're not at full capacity. I

548
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: had no energy. I couldn't work out funny stories. When

549
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: I did the NH workout for our BCA launch, we

550
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: did a Plartes workout.

551
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: It was like half an hour, was not that hard.

552
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: I did that on a Saturday morning for the whole

553
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: of Saturday, Sunday and Monday because it was a public holiday.

554
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 1: I literally had to lay on the couch Like that's

555
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: how much that small workout knocked me. And I think

556
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: I was like yeah, week seven, so I just was

557
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: not feeling good. It felt like I was hungover. I

558
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: didn't like eating certain foods. It was super picky, didn't

559
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: feel like meat, didn't feel like vegetables. It was a

560
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: really weird time. And yeah, it was just not great.

561
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: And then in week eleven till week fourteen, I started

562
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: having morning sickness where I was vomiting and like if

563
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: I didn't wake up and eat straight away at seven,

564
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: I would get this maya grain and then vomit.

565
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 2: It was just the most horrible thing because.

566
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: It was weird because I wasn't actually hungry. So next question,

567
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: are you going to find out the gender? Do you

568
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: have any feelings of what it might be? Okay, so

569
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: we got there and ipt tests and so we actually

570
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: had like an envelope in a house with the gender

571
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: and you know, that was like, I think week ten,

572
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: So we've had it in the house for a while.

573
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, so we are doing a bit of a

574
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: gender reveal at Beachmont in a couple of weekends time,

575
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: which is so exciting. We really wanted to do it

576
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: there and it's the only weekend it wasn't booked out

577
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: and we're doing a fun reveal. You guys will have

578
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: to wait for the Instagram video, but it's going to

579
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: be so much fun, and yeah, any vibes, I have

580
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: a feeling it's a boy, but I don't know it's

581
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: because sometimes when I do a meditation, my spirit Baby meditation,

582
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: I see a boy. Sometimes I see a girl, And

583
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: so I'm like, I don't know if one of them

584
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: is from my miscarriage. Do you know if that makes sense?

585
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: So it could go either way. But I think also

586
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: because you know, I have three brothers in our house.

587
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: It's Tim and Barren Wolf, So I live with three boys,

588
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: and so I think I was just like, I would

589
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: not be surprised if I had a boy. Tim's got

590
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: girl vibes, and everyone else I talk to has girl vibes.

591
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: And when I do my stories and I ask you guys, like,

592
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: you know I'm craving this. What do you think it is?

593
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: Or this is what my belly looks like? Do you

594
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: think I'm carrying.

595
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: A boy or girl?

596
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: Most people say a girl too, So I don't know.

597
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: I am so excited and I'm not gonna lie, like

598
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: I'd love to have a little angel girl because you know,

599
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: I didn't have any sisters and and I just think

600
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: it'd be so cute to like dress them up and

601
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: have a little you know, sidekick, a little mini me,

602
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: and you know she's going to be Oh well, it's

603
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: going to be born in November, late November, which is Sagittarius,

604
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: which is a very strong star sign. So I think

605
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: it's a fire sign too, so's like it's going to

606
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: be fiery. Like me, I'm a Leo fire sign. So yeah,

607
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: I think it would be really sweet. But look, I

608
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: would love to have a little boy too. I definitely

609
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: want one of each. Meantim would love to have two kids,

610
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna be I'm honestly, I do not

611
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: care either way, as long as they are healthy and

612
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, good little babies. So so someone asked if

613
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: I am working out while I'm pregnant and how I'm

614
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: handling the weight changes and less exercise. Honestly, guys, I'm

615
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: loving the way my body is. Like I don't know,

616
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: I've got this cute little belly, and I I think

617
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: because of our journey, I'm just like whatever, I just

618
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: I want my body to, you know, grow this baby.

619
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: And however however it looks is how it looks, and

620
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: that is perfect, and that is so fine with exercise.

621
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: I actually haven't been working out at all, just with

622
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: how unwell I've been feeling. And what I find is

623
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: if I exercise during the morning, it completely roots me

624
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: for the whole day, and I don't have enough energy

625
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: to do my work. So it's almost like picking of

626
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: like do I work out.

627
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: Or do I work?

628
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: And obviously I'm gonna pick work, so I just for me,

629
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. I am starting to get

630
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: my energy back, so I am doing a couple of

631
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: like polarates classes. But I'm just like, I'm not too worried.

632
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: I was chatting to Tim about it, and obviously I

633
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: am walking, so I am being active. It's not like

634
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything. Can I know is good for pregnancy.

635
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: But I said to Tim, I was like, babe, like

636
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: I was a hardcore gym goer for the last Like

637
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: I've been a hardcore gym.

638
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: Goer for the last ten years.

639
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: Like if I want to have this year and go

640
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: a bit slower and.

641
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: Just do walks like I've earned that, do you know?

642
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 2: I mean?

643
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm not too worried. I really want

644
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: to be gentle my body because I am still working

645
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: full time. I am still you know, running multiple businesses,

646
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: and if that means I can't work out, I just yeah,

647
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm just not worried. It's just not even anything that

648
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: worries me. Next question, how are you feeling in your

649
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: second trimester? So much better since the fucking first? The

650
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: first Oh it knocked me. That was probably the biggest

651
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: surprise is how shit I felt. And you know, people

652
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: like morning sickness and you know people get really sick

653
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: with that pregnant. Yeah, like, until you go through it,

654
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 1: you just don't realize how actual, like crappy you feel

655
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: and how much it impacts so many aspects of your life,

656
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: and especially because the first trimester you're not usually telling anyone,

657
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: so you just like feel like crap, Like I wasn't

658
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: filming any workout videos, like it just was so different

659
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: for me, And yeah, it was just kind of all right, guys,

660
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: So my computer has been fully charged all day and

661
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: it just died mid episode.

662
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: So honestly, don't really remember what I was saying, but

663
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go on to the next question.

664
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: So next question, ur NH products say for pregnancy. So

665
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: this has been a huge question in my DMS, so

666
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: legally on all our products. You'll see at the back

667
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: it says, you know, pregnant or breastfeeding people under sixteen,

668
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: please do not consume. Get advice from your healthcare professional.

669
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: And that is legally what we have to say for

670
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: all our products and what we should say, because there

671
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: can be so many different things happening within pregnancy or

672
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, for your body, and you don't want to

673
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: just be taking, you know something. So what I did

674
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: is I didn't really take I think maybe the greens

675
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 1: powder through the first trimester and Thrive and collagen. Yeah,

676
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: so yeah, no, I actually I took myself, but I

677
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: basically went to my doctor and my natural path and said, look,

678
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, these these are my products. I know how

679
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: high quality quality the ingredients are. I personally feel comfortable

680
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: taking them if you advise that I can. And so,

681
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: for example, so thrive protein, so collagen first, up collagen.

682
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: They were like, honestly, the baby is going to be

683
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: taking so much of your personal collagen. Like supplementing with

684
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: collagen is actually encouraged because the pure collagen is literally

685
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: just pure collagen, that's it, one ingredient, And I put

686
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: that in my coffee and pure collagen helps like hair, skin, nails,

687
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: and gut health. And yeah, so my healthcare practitioner was like, yeah,

688
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: collagen is amazing. I would actually encourage you to have it.

689
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: And the next moon milk.

690
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: So the only ingredient in moon milk was the passion

691
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: flower herb. So passion flour helps you relax and unwind.

692
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: And so I just had to go to our food

693
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: techs and get the exact amount and it was an

694
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: amount that is safe for pregnancy for me personally, Guys,

695
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: everything I'm saying this is for my pregnancy, and so

696
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: Jessica's I'm saying I can take it. I don't want

697
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: you guys to think, oh, I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. I

698
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: can take it. Definitely, get advice from your health care practitioner. Yeah,

699
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: so passion flower, because that is a natural herb that

700
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: actually can cause contractions. So obviously you don't want like

701
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: contractions happening, especially in like the first trimester, in the

702
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: last trimester.

703
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: But the actual.

704
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: Amount of passion flower is not enough to be like

705
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: a dosage that would impact the pregnancy. So moonmilk was

706
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: all good and the rest of it is like natural,

707
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, organic all that sort of stuff.

708
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 2: Next thrive protein.

709
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: My nature path is actually like, oh, protein is amazing,

710
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: especially because I was really off meat so to get

711
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: more of a protein saurce.

712
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: In my diet.

713
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: And the ingredient that she was worried about was Maca powder,

714
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: just because maca powder is it is one where it

715
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: can mess with.

716
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 2: Your hormones a little bit.

717
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: But again we went to the food tech, got the

718
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: exact amount and she's like, yeah, it's like it's not

719
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: enough to cause anything within the pregnancy, so I'm not worried.

720
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 2: Thrive is okay. The greens powder was all okay.

721
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: She had no issues with that because it's really amazing

722
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 1: organic ingredients. It's all from veggies, it's all natural and yeah,

723
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: so obviously I'm not taking the pre workout because it's

724
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: got caffeine in it, and I'm still having caffeine. I'm

725
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: still having one coffee a day, and honestly, I love

726
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: the taste of coffee, so I don't really want to

727
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: swap out my coffee for pre workout. And also I'm

728
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: not working out, so I don't need pre workout, so

729
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: I'm just having one coffee a day, still having caffeine

730
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 1: with the bcas she did say just wait, like get

731
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 1: out of the first trimester, and then if you still

732
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: want to take them, like, come to me and we

733
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: can chat about it. But I haven't seeing my doctor

734
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: or my natural path yet, and because I'm not working out,

735
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: so maybe when I start working out more, I'll take

736
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: the bcas, but I just need to you know, check

737
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: with them first, and I will just go off their guidance.

738
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: So with any supplements, guys, like if you're breastfeeding or pregnant,

739
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: get them approved by your doctor. And obviously because naked

740
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: harvest supplements, they're natural, they're super clean. I know, they

741
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: have no nasties. I feel really comfortable taking them, and

742
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: they are really you know a part of my routine

743
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: and something I enjoy taking. So it is something I

744
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: want to do. And also like I've been taking them,

745
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: you know for the last couple of years, so my

746
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,959
Speaker 1: body is used to those supplements too, so I didn't

747
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: want to, like, you know, be supplementing with collagen for

748
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: a year and then take that out, if that makes sense.

749
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: And yeah, so that is my supplement routine. But a

750
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: big thing is like, do not take my advice, get

751
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, advice from a doctor. So have you decided

752
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 1: on names. We definitely already have a girl and boy name,

753
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: but we're not going to tell anyone until birth for

754
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: obvious reasons.

755
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: Will you get a nanny?

756
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: So the plan is when I give birth in November

757
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: or whenever it is, Tim is actually going to stop

758
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: working in Naked Harvest completely. So we've always kind of

759
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: had this deal that he's always been quite maternal. You

760
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: guys know, if you see him on Instagram, he's the

761
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: most loving maternal person. And he would have had kids

762
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: when we were like twenty, Like, he loves kids. He

763
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to be a dad. So the plan was,

764
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: like I remember talking to him when I wanted to

765
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: be a lawyer. I was like, look like I want

766
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: to be a lawyer, Like I'm happy to have kids

767
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: because you want to have kids. I do want kids,

768
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: but it might be a thing of you're the stay

769
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: at home dad. And he's like, yes, sweet, my dream.

770
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: I can't wait. So we've always had this plan where

771
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: he would kind of be at the stay at home dad.

772
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: And because you know, my business is Naked Harvest and

773
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: my personal brand, my podcast and everything, I don't.

774
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 2: Want to completely stop everything.

775
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: I think I will have a period of like three

776
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: or four months where I do, but after that, I

777
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: want it, Like I love my job. I love what

778
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: I do, and I don't want to just have to

779
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: completely stop that because I want to be a mother.

780
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: So but obviously, no, I can't do it all. So

781
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: our plan is Tim will stop working and be at

782
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: home full time to help me. So when I do

783
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: want to ease work back into you know, our lifestyle,

784
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: he helps with that with that and it's you know,

785
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 1: a quite easy thing. So I personally don't think we

786
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: will need nanny because Tim will be there. You know,

787
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: my mum is hopefully going to be there, and she's

788
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: so maternal and so amazing. So we do have support,

789
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: We do have family.

790
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: You know, maybe down the.

791
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: Future if Tim wants to come back to work at something,

792
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: we could look into, but at the moment, I don't

793
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: see it happening. So yeah, another last couple of questions.

794
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 2: Am I scared about birth?

795
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: No? Not really like I think, because this journey has

796
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: been like so difficult and so long. I'm like, I

797
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: can't wait to give birth and meet our baby. And

798
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: I know it's all going to be not necessarily perfect,

799
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: but it will work out and it will be fine

800
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: and I can't wait. Let's, you know, let's do it

801
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: the next challenge. Another person asks what are you most

802
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: and least likely looking forward to in motherhood?

803
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 2: Oh, this is a good one.

804
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: Honestly, just everything, Like I cannot wait to add a

805
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: baby to me and Tim's lifestyle.

806
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: He is going to.

807
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: Be such a good dad, and I don't know, like

808
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just going to be so amazing. Like

809
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: we're already like we already do nothing on the weekends.

810
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: Like even before we weren't pregnant, it's not like we

811
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: were going out and partying or being crazy. Like we're

812
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: pretty chill. Were just like doing chill things.

813
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: And so lots of.

814
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: People are like, oh, you know, you have a baby

815
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,959
Speaker 1: and you lose your life. And I'm like, we don't

816
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: really do too much now, Like I can't wait to

817
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: just have chill days where we go to the park

818
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: and we just go to the beach, we just spend

819
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: time together.

820
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 2: And we've got this little human that is half.

821
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:39,439
Speaker 1: Me, half Tim, and it's learning and it's growing, and

822
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: I just cannot wait to be a mother and have

823
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: that experience. Oh, I don't know, it makes me so

824
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: excited and so happy. So I'm really just looking forward

825
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: to everything. Obviously, you know, the least things being tired,

826
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: dealing with a crying baby and whatnot. But like I said,

827
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: after the journey we've had, I just I don't even care.

828
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, bring it on, let's do it the next

829
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: It's the next thing in our life, and I just

830
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: cannot wait to do it all right, guys, So it

831
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: has been a long one. Thank you so much for listening.

832
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: I'll probably do like another Q and A towards the

833
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: end of my pregnancy because I'm sure i'll have more

834
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: of a birth plan more to chat about. But I

835
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: just just wanted to do this initial Q and A

836
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,640
