002: My Journey To A Natural Pregnancy

My Journey To A Natural Pregnancy

What does a natural pregnancy actually mean? What does living a natural life mean? These are some of the concepts I explore on today’s show.

On today’s show, I take you through my personal fertility backstory, which had a not so natural beginning. I give an overview of my entire pregnancy and birth story. You will have the chance to learn more about me while collecting some valuable tips along the way.
