A little late...but here are the November babes!! #communitymidwiveskelowna #kghbirth #homebirth #bcmidwives

Happy Winter Solstice! This year has been hard for many reasons. But it’s amazing clients that keep us doing what we love during these tumultuous times. Laura and I received hand painted ornaments of ourselves from one of our past clients this week! Amazing! Thank you to all the mamas and families that have had us along on their 2020 birth journeys! Xoxo. We are definitely looking forward to the new year!!

The first trimester can be a lot more challenging than you might have expected or maybe that was just me! From nausea to fatigue to food aversions to headaches... to bloating to emotional ups and downs of Is this pregnancy gonna stick? and Is this symptom normal? let’s just say, the first trimester can be a LOT. This will give you direction and reassurance for handling common first trimester complaints with real food and lifestyle changes. https://lilynicholsrdn.com/first-trimester-tips-nausea-fat/
