Do you ever think about managing your blood sugar? 🧐🧐🧐

Unless our doctor tells us there is a problem we don't usually give this much thought.

But then we get pregnant and need to take the GLUCOSE TEST and all of a sudden stress and anxiety sets in. 😣

What if we don't pass the test, what does it mean? How can we make changes now? What should we do on the day of our glucose test?

🥑 Today’s guest, Katie Dewhurst struggled herself with her health and nutrition and ended up discovering that by balancing her blood sugar, she felt better than ever. 🥩

She is now a Functional Medicine, Health Coach Nutritionist, and the Founder of Hello Balance, a digital resource and a cookbook.

With her guidance today, we will feel more calm going into our pregnancy and taking that glucose test, knowing that we've already taken the steps to regulate our blood sugar.

🎧 Learn how to balance your blood sugar in preparation for the glucose test in pregnancy in EPISODE 135 of the Mamas in Training Podcast. 🎙

💔 When you’re laying in bed postpartum with your newborn on your chest, maybe practicing skin to skin, you never expect that little infant to wiggle off you and fall.

This traumatic moment became a reality for one of today's guests, Hayley Mullins, two weeks postpartum.

📣 This week is Newborn Falls Awareness Week and it’s important for us to realize that newborn falls are much more common than we hear about.

Hayley was so empowered to make a change, after having trouble finding a product that would work, that she created a prototype in 3 weeks, which is now called the .

Hayley and her co-founder, Sarah Almaza-Cox are on the show today to share:
💕 What can we do to protect our baby from falling postpartum?
💕 What is skin to skin?
💕 What are the benefits?
…and so much more!

Hayley & Sarah, along with their third co-founder Ashley, have collaborated with the company, , a global leader in premium products for babies and young children, that is passionate about solving problems and supporting families in order to bring this product into hospitals, as well as into your hands.

💔 What if we experience loss or grief during our pregnancy or around our birth?

We envision the birth of our baby to be a joyous, beautiful, celebratory time. However, if loss or grief comes up around the same time, how do we navigate polar opposite emotions at the same time? 🍃

For today’s guest, , the loss of one life and the birth of another are celebrated the same time every year.

It’s impossible to know how she overcame such polarity of emotion at the same time.

👉 In this episode, she shares with us the tools that keep her grounded and how she practiced presence during such a challenging time.

👉 Did YOU hire a Postpartum Doula?! 🧐

When we first bring our baby home, we can feel overwhelmed by all the areas to juggle with questions like… How do we manage overnight feedings, lack of sleep, cleaning bottles & diapers, laundry, breast or bottle feeding and so much more!

However, there is a solution… a Postpartum Doula. 🎊

After going through postpartum with twins and a toddler at home, Valerie Trumbower fully understood the overwhelm that can come with the start of motherhood.

💕 Now, as a postpartum doula, it is her passion to educate, support and empower parents when they first bring their baby home. She has worked with hundreds of families to set up systems and routines that make the postpartum journey much smoother. 👶

🎙 Learn what a postpartum doula does and DOESN’T do and how we can benefit from having one on 🎙EPISODE # 130 of the Mamas in Training Podcast.

💕 For Elizabeth Presta, , no matter what level of planning and preparation she did for her pregnancy and birth, her plans still derailed.

She still was left feeling emotionally empty.

That picture of becoming a mom was not at all what she expected and she instantly started to question and judge herself. 💕

We have a lot of assumptions about our pregnancy, birth, postpartum and life in general as a mother.

👉 We paint a picture in our minds, but what if it looks like a VERY different picture than the one we dreamt?

❓Is there anything we can do to manage our expectations and what if it does feel different, how do we pivot ❓


🎙Learn how to… manage our expectations and know that our plans might not go as planned in this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast.

🧐 QUESTION FOR YOU: If you were doing yoga and cycling routinely while you’re pregnant…
that should be enough to prepare you physically for birth, right?

In fact, it might not be enough and you could STILL feel out of balance physically when you go into labor.

👉 What is BALANCE in a pregnant body? 🧘🏽‍♀️

For today’s guest, Deb Flashenberg , this was her story. She thought she had covered all the bases for smooth labor.

Instead, she was in labor for hours and found that her baby was asynclitic (not in line with her birth canal) because her pelvic was out of balance.

❓How can we achieve balance before we give birth?

Deb teaches us the important key to finding balance during your pregnancy to help create less obstruction for baby's birth during labor.

⭐️ You will learn where to start and what not to forget when training to be a future mama.

🧘‍♀️ Have you ever considered acupuncture? 🪡

Whether you are trying to conceive, are pregnant or are postpartum, acupuncture can really be a powerful tool. 🛠

❤️ After years of irregular periods, hormonal swings and severe PMS, starting at a very young age, Michelle Oravitz gave acupuncture a try and she instantly felt a shift in her body.

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a component of traditional Chinese medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body.

It goes beyond just covering up a pain or ailment.

👉 Learn the strength and power of acupuncture in this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast.

🧐 Did YOU have a doula?

What does a Doula do? What is the importance of a doula? Why can’t our partners support us like a doula?

🌱 Aside from encouraging you, reminding you of your strength, preparing cool cloths, maybe with essential oils or playing your favorite music...
a doula can physically help move and adjust your body to manage the pain of labor and can even support you to have a vaginal birth, if you so desire.

🤝 While our partners can be there for our birth and support us for sure, they TOO have a lot of emotions, fears and distractions going on. It can be hard for them to be 100% fully focused on your needs.

However a doula or “mother servant”’ is there for you and you alone.
Heidi Snyderburn .story.academy is our doula expert here to open our eyes to the positive impact a doula can have on our birth!

Jessica Lorion and her husband want to have children. But when Jessica was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease several years ago, that dream had to be put on hold. Her reaction to this unexpected speed bump is inspiring indeed. Instead of feeling discouraged or sinking into a depression, she has chosen to look at the delay as an opportunity to plan and study, gathering as much information as possible to arm herself for the day when she will ultimately get pregnant and become a mom. The result of her fact-gathering project is Mamas in Training, a podcast that supports pregnant women and aspiring moms on their journey. Join us as she shares the best advice she’s received along the way, the gaps she still hopes to fill in, and some very good news! Link in comments.
