What I Changed After My Last Midwife Appointment

What she recommended I skip during pregnancy, the birth method I had never heard of, and why I'm feeling more prepared than ever going into this birth...

If you missed my last pregnancy update I'd love for you to check it out as this is a follow up, (but this one stands on its own too). I went to my midwife appointment yesterday and one of the first things she told me was to stop drinking something I had recently added to my routine. I'm sharing what it was and why, what she has me drinking instead, the new prep she's added to my birth plan, what she's assigned both Anthony and me to read before this baby comes, and a faith based birth method I had never heard of until yesterday that I'm already diving into. Sharing it all in this post for my Substack family:
