I’ve seen a lot of things popping up about trimester zero so here’s my waffley thoughts on it as a personal trainer / pilates instructor for pre & postnatal mums who *accidentally* had a trimester zero plan!! To be clear I’m not talking about improving fertility or chances of conception, simply preparing for pregnancy and beyond… it makes sense to build healthy habits and look after your body. And although my trimester zero was a complete accident (we decided to have a baby in the summer after I did a 75hard) i would actually do it again for my next pregnancy. Again please watch the video for details - my 75hard wasn’t a scary intense exercise programme where I ate one grain of rice and a leaf every day. I simply cut out processed food and excess sugar and focused on whole foods and built daily movement habits. I even ate dates everyday for some natural sweetness before I knew I was going to be pregnant!! You can scroll on my feed and watch my diaries from my 75hard journey.

🚨What you haven’t been told about your Mitochondria: Improving your Mitochondria is the #1 thing you can to to create a healthy pregnancy. Each egg has more than 15,000 mitochondria , over 10x any other cell in the body. Poorly functioning mitochondria is ✨one of the most important reasons✨ why some womens eggs are likely to end up with chromosomal abnormalities. So how do you improve your mitochondria? 🦷 Schedule a dentist cleaning (yes! Oral care impacts fertility) 💤 Start maintaining a more regular sleep cycle (8 hours sleep x night) 🔄 De-toxify your house and reduce exposure to environmental toxins 🥑 Balance your blood sugar and focus on a diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats and lean protein 🏋🏼 Get regular moderate exercise (not too much and not too little) 🔎Check for nutrient deficiencies/thyroid issues and inflammation 💊 Start taking WeNatal and add supplements like CoQ10 and NAC For our comprehensive fertility guide - visit link in bio #ttccommunity #preconception #preconceptioncare #mitochondria #mitochondrialhealth #trimesterzero

Your baby's first home... Is your body not your house. Holy moly, put like that. Wow! Something about that saying just left me in awe. And for lack of better words, really hit home. Becoming your most healthy self to be a healthy home for your future baby is a journey and a fun one at that! It gives everything a new purpose. If you are starting your pregnancy prep journey...my biggest advice is to let go of perfection...because that is stressful. #preconceptionfitness #prepregnancywellness #fertilityfit #trimesterzero #prepforbaby

Oh boy, do I take big issue with this. For those that don’t know, in Australia the general guideline for GPs and GYNs for patients/couples experiencing miscarriages is to wait until they have had 3 losses before doing some investigations. For me this is almost incomprehensible. Practically forcing a couple to experience repeated loss and heartache before diving deeper just doesn’t make sense to me. Why not be proactive and start investigating after one loss? Over the years I have observed my clinical practice moves through themes, and right now a large majority of the women I’m working with have experienced recurrent miscarriages that previously have had next to no investigations or deeper support. There is so much we can explore and investigate when it comes to miscarriage or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). And it often isn’t the standard things your GP will test for (unless they are AMAZING). Some things you may like to consider exploring if you are currently navigating pregnancy losses: - menstrual cycle parameters: length of follicular and luteal phase, BBT analysis (practitioner guidance is helpful here) - period characteristics: volume of blood being lost, if there is spotting, clots, how many days you bleed for, if there is pain or PMS - menstrual history in general - thorough blood work assessing for nutrient status, clotting factors, autoimmunity, inflammatory markers, full thyroid panel plus so much more 🤯 - microbiome testing if relevant - semen analysis - egg and sperm quality in general - genitourinary health eg recurrent UTIs/thrush/BV/vaginal infections - pelvic ultrasound Plus so much more - this is a snapshot, there is SO MUCH that can be explored, investigated and supported when navigating losses. If you feel you aren’t being truly heard and supported with your current doctor/practitioner, it is so okay to find someone new, try something new and create a new plan/course of action. If you have questions leave them below, or if you feel more comfortable you can send me a DM 🙏 —— If you need more support, head to the link in my bio to book in a 1:1 appointment so we can create a plan specific to you ❤️

✨ First Trimester Recap ✨ It’s officially over… kinda 😅 We’ve stepped into the second trimester, and Renee is finally starting to feel like herself again. Less nausea. Less motion sickness. Way less irritability That said, this journey is far from over. The first trimester stretched us in ways we didn’t expect, taught us how to slow down, and reminded us how important support really is. Here’s a look back at our first trimester highs, lows, and the habits we’re committing to as we move forward into this next chapter of our first pregnancy 🤍 If you’ve been here before or you’re in it right now, what surprised you most about the first trimester? #babybrown #pregnancyupdate #secondtrimester
