Memorable Quotes
"The first couple of weeks are about setting up your support system. Even if you've had five miscarriages, you should still have a support system because women, when they feel more supported, their nervous system is more regulated, and the outcome of having a live birth is much higher."
"You need to nourish yourself so your body can nourish this embryo and do what it is physiologically designed to do. Respect the fact that it's a really difficult process. The deeper I go into understanding the physiology and biochemistry involved in ovulation, fertilization, and implantation, the more I'm in awe with the process of pregnancy."
"Focus on being present. Whether it's playing with your dog, watching a movie, or going into nature, it's a time to go inward and do some self-reflection. This helps clear emotions and connect deeper with yourself, which is crucial for your mental and emotional well-being."
