1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600 What is going on y'all? Robert Sykes, Keto savage.com 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,880 Today I've got my lovely wife Crystal on the podcast and we're 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,720 going to be doing a little deep dive on the 1st trimester for 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,560 our baby to be. We're going to be doing similar 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,040 to what we did with Rigel, but we'll do a podcast with every 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,320 trimester. This one's all about the 7 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,000 trimester #1 so we talked about some of the details, some of the 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,720 things have been different from this one versus the first one 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,680 and what our plan is going forward. 10 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,360 So hopefully y'all enjoy and let's roll the intro and dive 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:40,280 in. And we are live, babe. 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:40,800 How are you? I'm. 13 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:41,640 Good. How are you? 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,320 Chip titled this file. Would you title it Chip Crystal 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,720 B2T1B2T1? Can you figure that out? 16 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,760 Nope. Crystal Baby 2, Trimester 1. 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,600 That makes sense. So we're doing a little deep 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,319 dive on trimester numero Uno with this podcast. 19 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240 We did the same thing with Rigel's pregnancy. 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,640 We figured we'd do the same thing with the second kiddo 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,360 because you got a nice little baby bump rock in there. 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,440 So we're going to talk about first trimester, we're going to 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,960 do a second and third trimester and probably like a final recap 24 00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,640 of it all. So we got a few more episodes in 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,560 this series, but people have shown interest around your 26 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,920 pregnancy, what we're doing nutritionally speaking, all that 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,320 good stuff. So I'm going to let you just 28 00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:30,920 take it away, babe. How you doing? 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,480 I'm good. I asked Robert if he had 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,080 questions and he said no or had anything you wanted to go over 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,880 and he said no. So he's flying by the seat of 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,560 his pants. I have a little list, but I feel 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080 like we should just talk and then we'll we'll see what we 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680 hit. Well how, how, how is this 35 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,680 pregnancy felt different thus far? 36 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,280 I mean it's you're how many weeks now 18/19/18? 37 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,160 Yeah, in there. So first trimesters technically 38 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,040 from wind to wind. It's everyone thinks it's till 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400 you're 12 weeks, but it's actually until you're 14 weeks. 40 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,240 14 weeks, so don't talk about anything after 14 weeks yet. 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,479 We'll save that for round two. We're a little late in filming 42 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:15,920 this one, but as far as the 1st 14 weeks is concerned, let's 43 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,720 just we did a, we did one podcast talking about the fact 44 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,480 that you were pregnant, right? So. 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,160 It's like a year in review plus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 46 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,320 So let's talk a little bit about what's been different thus far. 47 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Not even to say different. Just what have you noticed thus 48 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,920 far in being pregnant? Well, everything's been 49 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,080 different. Everything's been different from 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,640 the first one. Yep, Yep. 51 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,360 Such as nutrition's the same kind of similar. 52 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Yes, yeah, everything's, everything's different even 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,000 though like my my nutrition as far as like what I let myself 54 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,280 have and don't have is the same. But like things that I crave is 55 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,400 different. It's not even crave like I don't 56 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,000 have really cravings. I have things that I can eat 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,200 that my body will allow me to eat. 58 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,200 There's things that my body will not allow me to eat. 59 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:10,960 And I was a way more sick with this one and I already even have 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,440 like a little bit more aches and pains with this one, which is so 61 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,520 it's just so interesting. So you found out? 62 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,160 We found out that you were pregnant one day. 63 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,400 I don't remember the day I was 4 weeks. 64 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,880 Four weeks, OK. And we were trying so it wasn't 65 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,440 like an accidental pregnancy or anything. 66 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,440 So we you've been taking prenatals pretty much from the 67 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,640 get go? Since before Rigel. 68 00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:35,520 Yeah, there was a couple months where I was kind of lazy with 69 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,960 it, but for the most part I've been taking it since way before 70 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,280 I even got pregnant with Rigel. And what has been different? 71 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,240 I mean, let's just talk about your macro goals, like what were 72 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,840 you going into the pregnancy with the intention of consuming? 73 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,240 I didn't really have an intention. 74 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200 I figured it would be somewhere around where I was with Rigel. 75 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,800 I don't remember the first trimester. 76 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,840 I think the whole pregnancy I was somewhere between 27103 77 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,320 thousand. I think it was like 2700 and 78 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,200 3200 calories. Yeah, with with Rigel. 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480 And I knew that this first trimester can be a little 80 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,640 tricky. 'Cause you only had like an 81 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,079 aversion to food for like 2 weeks I think with Rigel. 82 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,920 I think it was six to six weeks to 10 weeks and then by 11 weeks 83 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,240 I was fine again, so it was like 4 weeks altogether. 84 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,080 And that's not been the cases go around. 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,000 No, I was sick until I was 16 weeks with this one and it was 86 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:31,880 sick. Until 16. 87 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,520 Way worse. So people was way here. 88 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,160 Morning sickness. What does that mean for you? 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760 For me, it was just like constant nausea. 90 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,160 I was, there was a couple weeks there. 91 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,760 I think it was like 3 weeks where I was like, I'm not going 92 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,520 to make it. Like I felt like I was so sick. 93 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,280 I was throwing up. I had headaches. 94 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:59,560 I I just had no energy and I still had to mom. 95 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,960 I had to like be a mom to Rigel still. 96 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,880 And so I was just like completely drained. 97 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,960 I would take a nap when Rigel was napping. 98 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,920 Like our house got to a point where it was pretty messy. 99 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,400 Robert really had to help me out there for a while because I just 100 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,480 like could not keep up on the daily things. 101 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,960 Like it would just took everything in me to just do like 102 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,360 a load of dishes, which is crazy 'cause I was not like that with 103 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,880 Rigel. Like I was hardly sick with 104 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,360 Rigel. And this one, I was, I didn't 105 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,080 think I was going to make it out of that, but I did. 106 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,480 You weren't eating near as much food either 'cause you couldn't 107 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,440 keep it down. Yeah, I and like certain things, 108 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,600 like just making it would make me sick, would make me like 109 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,080 throw up or I only threw up a handful of times, but I gagged 110 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,720 at so many things. And yeah, it was really 111 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,720 interesting. And I like I said, I was like, 112 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,720 I'm not glad I had to go through that. 113 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,200 But I also feel like it made it more relatable to people because 114 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,560 people when when I was pregnant with Rigel, I was like, I really 115 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,480 wasn't that sick. So I can't really like get along 116 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,080 with this, like I need all the carbs or I need I just got to 117 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,200 eat something or whatever 'cause I really wasn't that sick. 118 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,920 This one very different. But you haven't eaten all the 119 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,360 carbs. I have not, no. 120 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,600 What do you think your average intake has been throughout the 121 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,480 first trimester 'cause if you were averaging 28 to 3200 with 122 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,800 Rigel? I don't think I did that with 123 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,880 when with in, excuse me, in my first trimester with Rigel 124 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,320 because I still was sick, but I was eating a lot more than I did 125 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,440 with this one. I don't even know. 126 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:42,040 I'd say probably 1300 to. 50 yeah, which is not good. 127 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,680 No, but it's like you're kind of in survival mode. 128 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,360 And in my, in my thoughts, the baby's going to get what it 129 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,840 needs because it's going to take it from my body. 130 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,200 And that might mean I'm a little bit more deficient in things, 131 00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:59,520 but I've been taking prenatals forever. 132 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,840 I have done mineral testing and everything looked great. 133 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,400 I've had a really great nutrient dense diet before. 134 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,880 And so I knew going in like I was already setting myself up 135 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,800 for success and that a few weeks or a couple months was not going 136 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,240 to screw me over or the baby over because I already had my 137 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,720 body fueled with all of this stuff. 138 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,960 And we waited, you know, two, 2 1/2 years before getting 139 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,800 pregnant again. And a lot of people like when 140 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,200 they get pregnant back-to-back your, your body hasn't 141 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,120 replenished all the the nutrients it needs in order to 142 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,400 be a good candidate for having another baby anyways. 143 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,240 So that's having, you know, 2 1/2 years between pregnancies. 144 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,160 I mean you've. Yeah, from birth to conception, 145 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,760 it was like almost 2 1/2 years. Yeah, yeah. 146 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,960 And I think, you know, Kate Shanahan wrote a really good 147 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,120 book on that deep nutrition and she was saying like the optimal 148 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,200 time is roughly 3 years from birth to birth. 149 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,480 Or what was it? I think it was probably birth to 150 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,520 conception, but I don't want to wait that long. 151 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,840 But I think we covered all of our bases in that regard for 152 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,560 sure. So what have you been able to 153 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,640 consume with you having the nausea and aversions to food and 154 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,920 only consuming 1300 calories? Yeah, it was really weird there 155 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,280 for a while. It was like different foods, 156 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,800 like the things that I could eat with Rigel, I kind of like 157 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,280 stocked up on a little bit and then I couldn't eat them and 158 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,080 then I. Like case in point being what? 159 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,600 Like I got some of like the freeze dried like steak bites 160 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,679 and meatballs and stuff. Couldn't eat that this time. 161 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:44,240 I've been eating them for you. Yeah, I, I What else did I have? 162 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,320 I can't remember. I thought you ate a lot more 163 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,320 pickled food too, like. No, I that was at the more 164 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600 towards the end of my pregnancy. With Roger, yeah. 165 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,440 Yeah. Oh wait. 166 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,760 This time you mean. Yeah, you're not really eating 167 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,800 much of that now, it seems. Oh yeah, I had, I had like a lot 168 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,560 of like lemon things like lemon flavored like drinks and stuff 169 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,960 and. I think it knows me shakes 170 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,440 either. Heart No, I'm not. 171 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,560 That's the that's the weird thing is like I am obsessed with 172 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,840 shakes, like pregnant or not, like I'm obsessed with shakes 173 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,240 and I haven't even been able to really eat those. 174 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,800 It's just so weird. Everything's so different. 175 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,640 But some of the things that I did make was pancakes. 176 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:34,560 I made keto pancakes with eggs, protein powder, coconut flour 177 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,880 and cheese. Our waffle maker bit the dust, 178 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,880 though. Yeah, our waffle maker, that's 179 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,440 what I, that's one thing that was the same with Rigel in this 180 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,480 one is that I really wanted waffles because our we had a 181 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,680 waffle maker. So I would make truffles and but 182 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:53,760 this time I just ended up making pancakes because our waffle 183 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,240 maker broke and I didn't want to buy a new one. 184 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,360 So probably the same macro distribution, just much fewer 185 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,200 calories than the last time. Yeah, obviously still keto, no 186 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,360 issues there. Keto pizza was another thing 187 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,800 that I could eat a lot of. Like I ate that almost every 188 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,720 day. Yeah. 189 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:10,840 Keto. Keto. 190 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,080 Yeah, No, you've. Been eating a lot of chicken now 191 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,960 though. Yes, and that was another thing. 192 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,600 It was like, as soon as I could fathom eating chicken, I went 193 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,560 out. I got up myself a whole bunch of 194 00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:24,280 chicken and like I would eat a whole package of chicken, which 195 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,040 is, I don't know, the pound. Out with that porking good. 196 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,960 Yes. Powderwhichisthemom.com. 197 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,040 Yeah, so like I would take the whole package and I'd cut it up 198 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,920 in just strips and I'd dip it in egg batter and then the porking 199 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,320 goods pork panko and I'd dip it in there and fry it. 200 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,440 Oh, it was so good. And then I would just dip it in 201 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,320 like that Primal kitchen ketchup and I eat the whole thing. 202 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,320 It was like as soon like that was a first realization that 203 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,880 like I might have a little bit of an appetite back and it was 204 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,560 so good. And I was like, man, all the 205 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:01,840 protein right now. But it was also like fried and 206 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,080 had the pork panko. So it had like plenty of fat in 207 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,480 there too, so. What's your training been like 208 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,160 between the two trimesters with Rigel? 209 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,040 First semester this first. OK. 210 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,160 So I worked out throughout both. I never didn't work out. 211 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,080 I think when I was working out with Rigel, I was already 212 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,480 working out more days. I think at that point I was 213 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,640 working out five or six days. And this time before I even got 214 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,360 pregnant, I was working out more like 4. 215 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,640 So that stayed consistent. I was pretty sick. 216 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,400 I had my friend Blake and I would work out together and 217 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,920 there was a couple times where I was like, if I pass out, like 218 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,920 you need to call Robert. I literally had to say that to 219 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,360 her, 'cause I'm like, I might pass out today. 220 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,800 And so I would just kind of like lay on the floor and just like 221 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,680 chill a little bit and then I'd get back to it. 222 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,640 She's like, you're like busting through this right now. 223 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,000 Like I don't, I would have been done. 224 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,120 Like I would have just called, but Greg had like a little fan 225 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,080 in his office and I would just take it in the gym with me and 226 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,400 just like keep the fan on me while I was doing my workout or 227 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,960 like between my my sets and stuff. 228 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,400 So last time you and I adjusted our workouts from the morning to 229 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,760 the afternoon or like later morning. 230 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,920 And I couldn't do this that this time because I needed Robert to 231 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,000 be able to watch Rigel so that I could work out. 232 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,720 So I was still going at the butt crack of dawn and doing my 233 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,760 workouts because I didn't really have another time. 234 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,880 Otherwise I probably would have been like, man, later in the day 235 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,160 would have been so much better for me. 236 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,800 I feel like workouts have been crazy in general right now 237 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,800 because for a while there I was staying at the house because I 238 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,720 preferred working out early. So I stopped doing that. 239 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,800 Chip and I were working out like 6:00 in the morning and then 240 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,120 stopped doing that so that I could work out later so that I 241 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,400 could stay at home and watch Roger while he slept. 242 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,640 And you would go at 5:00 in the morning with Blake. 243 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,760 And then we decided that that wasn't going to work out. 244 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040 So I started going in the morning again. 245 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,800 But we moved half of our gym equipment to the house, cleaned 246 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,760 out the garage, built a home gym for you, the garage, and you 247 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,160 would work out in the morning before Roger woke up while I 248 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,480 worked out in the morning. So both training at the same 249 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,880 time, but now he's been waking up a lot. 250 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,600 So now you're going to start working out while he naps in the 251 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,600 afternoon. Because like in the morning, 252 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,720 he's kind of like it's like a lighter sleep. 253 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,080 And so he'll wake up and I need him to sleep longer. 254 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,520 Like he needs to go back to sleep. 255 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,080 And he will if I go like put him back to sleep, but it takes me a 256 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,000 little bit of time. So to break up my workout and go 257 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,480 do that. It just it's awful. 258 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,560 And so, but his naps he usually, like he's usually just out. 259 00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:45,800 So I think it's just going to be better if I do it while he naps. 260 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,840 And it's kind of unfortunate for me because I like to get my 261 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,800 workout done earlier in the day, be able to take a shower while 262 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,640 he naps and like clean the house and get everything else done 263 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,360 during his nap time. But I'm going to have to flip 264 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,800 those and just do all my other stuff in the morning and then 265 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,480 while he naps. Do you feel like your recovery 266 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,520 was hindered at all from the training because you were 267 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,240 consuming half the calories you were previously? 268 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,520 There was a point where I was like, what do I do here? 269 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,560 I kind of felt like one, I'm not eating enough for just my body 270 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,000 and I'm building another body and then I'm just not eating 271 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,560 enough. And I'm also working out and I 272 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,760 was keeping up with my same weights for a a long time. 273 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,480 I think there was like one or two weeks where I was like, you 274 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,000 know what? I'm not like that At that point. 275 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,560 I was just like, I think I'm doing too much like I'm, I am 276 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,960 feeling like I just need to stick to the same weight right 277 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,120 now. And I felt really good about 278 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,960 that 'cause it's still heavy, but it was just like, I just 279 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,560 need to chill. I don't need to be like trying 280 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,440 to get PRS and like going up in weight every week and things 281 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,800 like that. So I kind of found like my happy 282 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,480 medium and been kind of just sticking to that and. 283 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,680 You feel like you've lost any strength now that you're eating 284 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,520 more. Do you feel like you're pretty 285 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,200 much able to maintain your baseline? 286 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,960 Yeah, I feel like I've been able to pretty much maintain my 287 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,640 baseline. I feel like it's a little bit 288 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,440 skewed because I started feeling good as soon as I went to 289 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,840 California to visit my family and I just got back and that's 290 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,240 really when I started feeling better, when I started being 291 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,280 able to eat a little bit more. So I think it'll be I'll be able 292 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,000 to tell better, like going into this week and next week how my 293 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,320 strength is actually doing. But I feel really good. 294 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,960 So I feel like I'm just going to. 295 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,120 It's going to keep getting better. 296 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,360 'Cause you're now eating more than 2500 calories consistently. 297 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,680 Yes, I am. I'm trying to track now. 298 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,400 So like for during my first trimester, I wasn't really like 299 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,120 tracking. I was, there was a couple days 300 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,200 where I was like, let me just see how much I'm getting in. 301 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,280 But now I can track what I'm eating. 302 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,200 And so I'm trying to track the next few days just to like see 303 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,440 where I'm at, see how my like fullness level is, where can I 304 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,880 increase things? Yeah, just that. 305 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,960 So if we push the pause on this podcast and then walk to the gym 306 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,720 and ripped right now, what are you going to be able to pull on 307 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,760 deadlift, push on bench press, squat? 308 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,720 I don't know like single one Rep. 309 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,160 Well, first of all, I wouldn't do one Rep Max because I don't 310 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,560 think that's a good thing to do when you're pregnant. 311 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,360 But if I had to guess, I'd say bench is probably one 55165 312 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,640 squats. I can't remember what I did most 313 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,520 recently. Maybe squats have been like not 314 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,520 so great lately. So I'd say like maybe 220-5235 315 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:50,840 and deadlift, I could probably get one No 2 75, maybe 285 I. 316 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,120 Don't know it's. Pretty good, though I'm taking 317 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,320 wild guesses. Right now she may have me on 318 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,760 squats so I can bench, I can bench and Debra so you sketchy 319 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,840 on squats? Oh, that's good. 320 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,119 Does it make you feel bad that a pregnant woman's squatting more 321 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,920 than you? Well, you know what? 322 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:15,400 I haven't done it. Yeah, we need to. 323 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,000 We need to because like I want you to be able to work out. 324 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,839 And the biggest hurdle with this whole pregnancy is that we have 325 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,720 Rigel and like that just throws a wrench in every plan that 326 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,400 we've ever made. Yeah, which is a very good 327 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,880 wrench, but it's a wrench on the left. 328 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,280 So like timing is never consistent and I do not do well 329 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,240 with inconsistent timing. I know, yeah. 330 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:38,920 So we got to get that done. I think having the gym at the 331 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,640 house is going to be good because you got all the 332 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,360 necessities there. You got an adjustable bench, 333 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:46,480 dumbbells, squat rack. I will say too like there are a 334 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,920 few things that I am changing about my workouts. 335 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,080 After I had Rigel, I had AC section with Rigel and just 336 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,240 because you have AC section does not mean you don't need to see a 337 00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:58,360 pelvic floor therapist. I'm very pro pelvic floor 338 00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:04,640 therapy for anyone who's ever carried a baby, but I wouldn't 339 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,840 talk to her. And honestly everything with my 340 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,440 pelvic floor is actually pretty great. 341 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,200 But there was like a couple of weak points like in my glutes 342 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,640 and things like that that can actually help me going forward. 343 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,800 I think my abs, it didn't recover as well as it could 344 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,320 have. Also, because of the C-section, 345 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,440 I didn't really get my full like 360 breathing back very well in 346 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,800 my ribs. I had a little bit of rib flare. 347 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,040 Like there was like definitely things that like just didn't 348 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,720 heal the way I wanted it to. But I think I didn't really know 349 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:43,720 how to fix those things along the journey. 350 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,880 So she gave me a lot of things to do before I got pregnant 351 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,840 during the 1st 20 weeks of my pregnancy. 352 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,640 And then I'm going to go back and see her again and we're 353 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,080 going to go over more exercises that I can do and see you 354 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,360 evaluate where I am now. So there are some things like on 355 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:03,520 leg day, I'm doing a little bit more legs right now, but it's 356 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,040 not like I'm going in and doing all the squats. 357 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,960 It's like I am doing a day of squats. 358 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,080 I am doing a day of deadlifts, I am doing a day of bench and all 359 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,680 those things. But I'm also having areas where 360 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,120 I'm like focusing more on because I'm pregnant again and I 361 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,240 want to heal better after this one. 362 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,600 We don't know how many kids we want. 363 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,200 So I just want to like treat my body well after this one. 364 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,360 And if it goes well with this one and we choose to have more 365 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,520 than like, I'll know exactly how to treat my body and how how to 366 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,520 train and how not to train. Because I think with Rigel, like 367 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,960 I just kept going with the same thing, which I don't think was 368 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,400 bad, but I think after postpartum is the point where I 369 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,720 could have done additional things that I didn't do. 370 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,240 And now like looking back, I'm like, wow, that could have been 371 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,640 like really helpful. So I'm very excited for this 372 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,600 one. Hopefully that will just things 373 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,880 will just sit a little better. So regarding this one, let's 374 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,040 talk a little bit about nuts and bolts as far as what we're going 375 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,080 to do. A lot of people earn the 376 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,520 assumption that after AC section you have to continue to have C 377 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,680 sections and we are not going that route as of now. 378 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,960 The plan is to do AV back and you listen to birth podcasts 379 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,720 like I listen to business podcasts so like. 380 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400 I've been obsessed with birth for like a long time. 381 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,080 So even years before I had Rigel, like I loved learning 382 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,720 about all things birth. I would love to eventually 383 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,560 become a doula. Like there's just things that I 384 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:33,760 just love. I just, I love it. 385 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,960 I think it's so awesome. I think moms are amazing. 386 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,200 I think postpartum is such a like a interesting the whole 387 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,520 thing. The whole thing is such an 388 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:51,280 interesting to me and tender time and I would love to be able 389 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,840 to support women through that. But anyways, I, yes, am obsessed 390 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,080 with listening to podcasts and stuff. 391 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,120 So yeah, I, I haven't really gone like full into detail on a 392 00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:08,120 lot of it because we shared a lot of what we wanted to do with 393 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,240 Rigel. And at that point we really 394 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,680 wanted a home birth and everything was looking good for 395 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,680 a home birth. And then I got to 42 weeks and 396 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,640 they made me go to the hospital, did an induction and blah, blah, 397 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,160 blah, blah, blah. One intervention led to the next 398 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,520 and I had AC section. I had a really, really hard time 399 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:30,840 mentally recovering from that. I I could still cry like it just 400 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:37,880 like it really like hits a nerve in me and I would like it to not 401 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,120 go that same way, but I'm really open to whatever happens happens 402 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:47,000 this time and but our goal is to work for AV vac. 403 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,640 So AV vac stands for vaginal birth after caesarean. 404 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,560 We have a very supportive provider. 405 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,680 We're driving a a little bit further to visit her, but I'm 406 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,080 very. Excited we have switched and 407 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,920 we're using crowd health, which is actually pretty relevant. 408 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,560 So like you probably know more than this than than I had the 409 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,160 owner of crowd health on the podcast, but like we were using 410 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,440 the traditional insurance provider and that covered a lot 411 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,320 of the C-section that we had with Rigel. 412 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,800 But it's just like traditional insurance providers are pain in 413 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,400 the butt. They're. 414 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,680 The only thing we ever used it for was the birth. 415 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,240 Yeah, it was just a pain in the butt. 416 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,440 Like we're spending a lot of money with the premiums. 417 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840 They don't cover what we want. It's just nonsense. 418 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,280 Yeah. We ended up paying a lot of out 419 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,720 of pocket for things that we wanted, our providers we wanted 420 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,320 that they wouldn't cover and whatever. 421 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:38,920 Yeah. So we switched to crown health 422 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,720 and they've got like this like super cool crowd funded protocol 423 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,120 and we're kind of in like the smaller niche of that for people 424 00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:49,160 that are actually following a ketogenic carnivore low carb 425 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,280 diet. So you get approved if you, you 426 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,320 know, pass the fasting insulin test or provide a DEXA scan with 427 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,240 good results. And the cool thing about that is 428 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,840 the community who is all a very healthy community relative to 429 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,880 the normal society community they funded, they've got much 430 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,800 lower premiums and then, you know, you have much more 431 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,320 transparency as to what is actually getting covered month 432 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,960 to month, what your dollars are going towards. 433 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,640 And one of their largest funding, you know, segments is 434 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,240 pregnancies and birds. So we're using them. 435 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,800 They've been super supportive of everything we're doing, which I 436 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,520 feel really great about. We got the provider and our 437 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,440 provider is a midwife working in the sanction of a hospital 438 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,440 setting. They've got backup doctors on 439 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,640 staff if need be. But as of right now, she plans 440 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,640 on doing all of that. I get to catch the baby. 441 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,560 We don't have to do an oral glucose tolerance test like 442 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,200 we're, we're able to do everything that we want to do. 443 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,000 Yeah, she pretty much I was kind of crazy. 444 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,360 I I think we interviewed like 6 providers all together or I knew 445 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:55,960 of six providers. I weeded out that we're supposed 446 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:03,360 to be like the best in our area and I didn't like any of them. 447 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,800 I didn't like any of them. The one that I did want that she 448 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,960 ended up being on vacation and so I'm hiring a doula this time. 449 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,840 Really regretted not having a doula last time. 450 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,240 And so I was like 1000% we're paying for the best doula I can 451 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,800 get. So we have a doula this time. 452 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000 And she was like, hey, you need to go to this other place. 453 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:31,080 And it's a bit further, but I have a feeling you're going to 454 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,640 just like hit it off. So we went and like literally, I 455 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,120 could have just gotten in the truck and just bawled my eyes 456 00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:41,480 out because she said everything I needed to hear about Rigel's 457 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,800 birth, everything that I needed to hear about going into this 458 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,400 next one. It's just such a, it's such a 459 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,440 tender subject when you've had something that you've gone 460 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:57,040 through that's just so emotional or I don't know, just sensitive. 461 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,520 And someone can just be like, hey, we don't have to do it this 462 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,960 way. We can do it this way. 463 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,920 And like you are in charge of your body and I'm here to help 464 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,600 your body make this happen. And it was just really cool. 465 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,320 And she and I are like both on the same page of, hey, if this 466 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,920 leads us to AC section, then that's what's supposed to 467 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,840 happen. And I'm grateful that I had the 468 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,880 opportunity to have modern medicine there for me this last 469 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,640 time. Halfway grateful, halfway bummed 470 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:36,080 that I had to use it, but a lot more open this time. 471 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,160 But definitely like have a plan for this to go the way I would 472 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,480 like it to. A lot of the pushback against 473 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,760 having AV back is because there's a risk or concern around 474 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,760 your uterus rupturing because of the prior C-section. 475 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,080 But with us having weighted the amount of time that we have, we 476 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,040 should be good there, right? So with every pregnancy, even a 477 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,600 first time mom, there is a risk of rupturing. 478 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,040 Like it's just you just have a risk of rupturing. 479 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,760 That's that's it. There are statistics and I'm not 480 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,400 going to try to make sure that I'm like on point with these. 481 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,240 So like go look it up. But the risk of having a repeat 482 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:25,320 C-section and AV back are just about the same as far as rupture 483 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,360 rate goes. So I'm not really risking a 484 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:31,560 whole lot more. It's just it's like they're 485 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,920 about the same. So there's just different 486 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,440 things. Like with there's certain things 487 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,960 that doctors will or will not let you have. 488 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,760 Like one doctor said your first child was large, so I wouldn't 489 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,280 be surprised if this one's large and makes you have AC section. 490 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,160 And I was like, that's not the answer I want to hear. 491 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,880 There's you have to be hooked up to an epidural. 492 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,560 I would really like to have a natural births. 493 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,160 I don't want to be hooked up to an epidural. 494 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,520 There's there's medical reasons why being hooked up to an 495 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,240 epidural is not actually fully necessary. 496 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,920 I can understand why some people would want to, but to me that is 497 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,400 like a fear, not for me, but for maybe the provider has a little 498 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,640 bit of fear of past things that have happened so on and so 499 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,960 forth. So there's like certain things 500 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,240 that I really wanted, but that they like some providers say 501 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,240 like, hey, because you want to do this feedback and you're more 502 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,800 of a risk. I'm risking things, you're 503 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,000 risking things. And so I want you to have this 504 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,240 to be extra careful when really like, it's not really like, it's 505 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,520 not really being extra careful. It's more of just like I'm, I'm 506 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,560 afraid. So I'm going to have you do this 507 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,800 thing to make sure it's not as bad. 508 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:50,040 So for me, I am going with the person I think is the most open, 509 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:56,760 the most successful, the most willing to just let my body lead 510 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,880 the way. And yeah, so but yes, rupture is 511 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,840 technically the biggest risk, but it's only it's like 1 or 2% 512 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,400 more than the average person. So it's really not that high. 513 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,440 What were some other non negotiable hit list topics that 514 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,560 we kind of used to weed out several of the the prior 515 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,280 providers? Baby's too big, wanted me to 516 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,320 have like be hooked up to an epidural. 517 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,160 Wouldn't let me go past 40 weeks. 518 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,000 Oh gosh. They're really weird about that 519 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,640 oral glucosar. Yes, one of them was very 520 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,280 particular, like they wanted me to take the glucose test and I 521 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,960 was like, it's not going to happen. 522 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,120 And only because I have been keto for so long, I've not had 523 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,440 that much sugar in my system that my body would probably 524 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,520 respond really terribly. So I would have either had to 525 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:50,160 increase my carbs before that or, or I probably just sort of 526 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,160 honestly failed. And so like this one is going to 527 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,760 let me do the CGM just like my last midwife let me do and it's 528 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,080 great. So there's there was just like 529 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,560 certain things that like some providers really wanted me to do 530 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,600 and I just said it's not a, a great fit. 531 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,280 There was another one that he honestly didn't say anything 532 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,520 bad, but it was like it was almost like I could tell he 533 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,600 wasn't supportive because he was, he was tolerant. 534 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:23,320 Like be back tolerant, not be back supportive because I could 535 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,640 just tell because he was like, we'll just see how it goes. 536 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,200 You know, I can't really tell you anything. 537 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,680 We're just going to have to see how it goes. 538 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,920 And my midwife now is more like, we're going to do this and we're 539 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,960 going to, you know, if, if we have to change directions, we 540 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,880 will do that. But you're going to do this. 541 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,600 Like your body was created to do this. 542 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,240 And so to me, I'm like, that's what I need to hear. 543 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,440 Like that is someone who's supportive, that's someone who 544 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,360 has my back. That's someone who wants the 545 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,440 same thing I want. And it's going to fight for me 546 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,880 to get there, too. What is my list on that hit list 547 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:53,840 you got? Do we cover everything? 548 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,320 Hit list, hit list. OK, morning sickness. 549 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,560 Oh, prenatals. So we did talk a little bit 550 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,920 about that first trimester could not take prenatals like could 551 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,720 not get them in. I even changed brands. 552 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:15,640 I with Rigel, I had always done naturally nourished Allie 553 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,800 Miller's line of prenatals and I am still taking hers, but I'm 554 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,280 also incorporated another company called Kneaded and they 555 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:30,040 have a powder, a prenatal, still could not get that stuff in. 556 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,240 I, I could not get anything in. It was awful. 557 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,560 So I just want to relate to anyone out there who's like, I 558 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,000 really should be taking my prenatals and I can't even get 559 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,240 that in. It's OK. 560 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,600 You're going to make it through just fine. 561 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,920 Your body's going to be totally fine and your baby's gonna be 562 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,600 totally fine. Food aversions. 563 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,960 We just already talked about that. 564 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,960 I don't think there was really anything else I wanted to say 565 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,320 about that. I something that was very 566 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,960 different with this one than with Rigel is I spotted almost 567 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,600 the entire first trimester and that was that was very scary for 568 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,320 me. I was really unsure and I was 569 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,640 just like when is this going to stop? 570 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,840 What is happening? Why is this going on? 571 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,600 And I didn't have a provider picked out because I wanted to 572 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,440 get in with that other one. They took forever to get back to 573 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,400 me and tell me that she was going to be on vacation. 574 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,600 I didn't have this one until I was like 9 or 10 weeks I think. 575 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:36,280 And it was like, man, I waiting around to just find out that 576 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,240 everything's OK and everything is fine. 577 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,840 Very common. But it is very nerve wracking, 578 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,400 especially when my first pregnancy I did not have that. 579 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,760 And then this time I had it consistently and it was, it was 580 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,520 not my favorite. I did not like that. 581 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:54,160 But I did want to say that because it feels very, I don't 582 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,440 want to say lonely. It feels very, you feel like 583 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,880 you're the only one when you're going through something and 584 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,000 you're like, I don't know what to do. 585 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,760 And it almost sometimes can feel like people down talk what 586 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,040 you're going through 'cause you're the one experiencing in 587 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,560 the moment. And even though they may have 588 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,240 experienced, it was like, Oh yeah, it was nothing. 589 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,640 It was no big deal. But you kind of want someone to 590 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,720 be like, that is really scary. I totally hear what you're 591 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,800 saying. I'm sure everything's fine, but 592 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,640 if you need to like just go in somewhere and just have them 593 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,560 take a look and just make sure everything's good. 594 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,480 Talk to someone. I did end up talking to a friend 595 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,960 of ours that's an OB and was like, do I need to go in or am I 596 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,800 OK to just keep writing this out? 597 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,840 And I'm just really grateful for that relationship because that 598 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,640 that was not, it was a scary time. 599 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,720 Let's see workouts, finding a provider. 600 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,160 That was pretty much it. Yeah, I feel like it's kind of 601 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,280 getting into second trimester stuff here, so I don't want to 602 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,440 tease it too much, but you haven't felt this one move 603 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,280 nearly as early on as you felt Rigel move either? 604 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,160 Yeah, I felt Rigel at 14 weeks and it was like after I felt him 605 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,120 for the first time, I felt him consistently. 606 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:11,440 So yeah, that's been another interesting they. 607 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,280 Had to pull the Doppler out the other day. 608 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,240 Make sure we can hear heartbeat. Yes, we did, yeah. 609 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,640 But good, strong, healthy heartbeats and no issues there. 610 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,560 And we find out the sex on Valentine's Day. 611 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,920 So that's getting pretty. I mean, we're recording this on 612 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,160 January 20th, so not too much longer to go before we figure 613 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,280 out if we got a boy or a girl come. 614 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,760 What do you think? I don't know. 615 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,400 I honestly don't know. But everyone keeps saying it's a 616 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,880 girl. Everyone, I think it's a girl. 617 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,520 Everyone has said it's a girl. Everyone. 618 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,640 My brother, my brother is the only one that has said it's a 619 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,880 boy. So like, I feel like that's 620 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,960 tricking my mind into thinking it's Chip's laughing at you 621 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,960 right now, I think. It's a girl. 622 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,920 Everyone keeps saying it's a girl, so I think that's tricking 623 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,040 my mind into thinking like, oh, maybe there's a girl. 624 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,360 But like I also know that like there's a very high chance that 625 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,760 it's a boy. So I have no idea. 626 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,160 Been very different pregnancy wise than right. 627 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,160 So they always say it's very different possibly. 628 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,440 However, I just talked to a friend yesterday and she's like 629 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,120 my pregnancies could not have been more different and they're 630 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,199 both both boys so well. We'll find out for sure in a 631 00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:18,199 couple more weeks, so be soon. Anything else? 632 00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:22,480 Anything else? Parting words, thoughts, wisdom, 633 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,040 nada. I don't think so. 634 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,159 I feel like this was so quick, but I don't feel like there was 635 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:33,360 like a whole lot that I wanted to cover. 636 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,239 I feel like that's. Well, we'll do a follow up 637 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:42,199 Trimester 2 podcast and then third trimester and. 638 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,239 Let me just I asked if anyone had any additional questions. 639 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,040 So let me just see if there's any additional questions. 640 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,480 I don't think though I checked it right before we got on here. 641 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,040 Then we go. We go in this Friday to get 642 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,920 another. We're not just. 643 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,720 To do like a regular check. Yeah, so probably do the Doppler 644 00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:03,280 again, all that good stuff. So that'll be good. 645 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,320 And then two weeks after that we'll know the sex. 646 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:09,160 So be good. Well, I'm excited. 647 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,240 It's going to be total chaos with two crazies running around, 648 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:18,160 but looking forward to it. Oh, I was showing so much faster 649 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,480 with this one. Yeah, like you. 650 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,840 Probably tell right now. Yeah, I'm sure people can. 651 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,800 Hello. Here I am. 652 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,920 But I mean, like usually people are showing by this point. 653 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,920 But I am like big. And I've been big since the 654 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,400 beginning. I swore out I have twins when we 655 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,280 I was first pregnant because I was so sick. 656 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,000 I was like, there's got to be two in there. 657 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,760 There's got to be two in here, and there was just one. 658 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,920 But yeah, I was just been showing so early. 659 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,680 And like, you know, like there's like that early pregnancy, like 660 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,800 I'm just bloated and I look bloated. 661 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,440 It was like, I'm bloated. But also there's a baby in here. 662 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,600 Like, it was just like, crazy. And Robert would just look at me 663 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,960 and be like, whoa, there's like a baby in there. 664 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,720 And I'm like, I know 'cause I with Ryzo, it took me forever to 665 00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:07,000 show. And with this one, it was just 666 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,880 like, man, boom. I think it was like 11 weeks. 667 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,160 And I was just like, whoa, bam, here I am. 668 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,360 And I went to a baby shower yesterday and people were like, 669 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,760 how far along are you? And I was just talking about it. 670 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,600 And they're like, you're showing a lot. 671 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,480 I was like, I know. Well, you said something last 672 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:26,800 night. It's like we're pretty much 673 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,560 halfway through almost, which is crazy because I feel like I am 674 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,760 not ready yet. I got to, I got to scramble a 675 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:33,920 little bit, get some things organized. 676 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,160 I feel like, I feel like the second-half is going to go. 677 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,960 I think it's going to go pretty smoothly because the first, the 678 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,600 first half, we were just so busy. 679 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,640 You were gone a lot. That was another thing is I was 680 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,400 like all that sick and everything and you were still 681 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,840 like travelling and doing all the things. 682 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:58,840 And so I was just like Mom and without you there with me. 683 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,200 Trying to keep up on everything. You walked a lot more with 684 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,240 Rigel, but I thought you probably walk just as much now, 685 00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:08,680 picking up after Rigel. I went on a lot of hikes and 686 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,960 that, like, I think that's probably gonna be one thing that 687 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,360 I'm a little bit bummed about because if I hike, I have to put 688 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,880 Rigel in the backpack and I'm like, I don't think I can do 689 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,240 both. Like I don't think I can like 690 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,280 have this big old thing plus that big heavy thing. 691 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,920 Like a good stroller or something for him? 692 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,920 And then I can't go hiking, I have to go on walks. 693 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,680 Get the outdoors off roading stroller to make those good 694 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,560 things. Yeah, Rigel's like he's between 695 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,080 35 and 40 lbs. So like that's a, that's a, 696 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,360 that's hefty, hefty weight on your back. 697 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:46,200 And he's not still like he will just move back and forth and 698 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,400 yeah, all the things. So I don't know, I think I will. 699 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,240 That is like a bummer cause like even if I do go hiking with him, 700 00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:54,960 let him walk, it's just going to be so slow. 701 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,360 So I don't know what I'm going to do 'cause I really enjoyed 702 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,560 that, especially at the end of my pregnancy, I really enjoyed 703 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,080 hiking. So I don't know, we'll just have 704 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,640 to see how it goes. We'll figure it out. 705 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,040 We'll figure it out. Well, I'm excited. 706 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,480 It's going to be good. It's going to be good having 707 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,680 that kiddo running around and we have a lot of good things 708 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:11,960 coming. I've blocked out my whole 709 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,680 calendar for like 6 weeks around the tentative due date so 710 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,720 hopefully I won't be travelling and I could just help out 711 00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:20,440 wherever possible. And. 712 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,920 We will have two, like we could talk about this later, but we do 713 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,720 have like I have a plan for a little bit better support 714 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,720 because I don't think I had very good support last time and like 715 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,480 my fault, but I didn't have the support I needed. 716 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,800 I didn't set myself up for success in that way. 717 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,000 We didn't really have a lot of like people locally and it just 718 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,160 was, it was really hard. I had a hard time with that. 719 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,920 We'll get. I mean that was also during the 720 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,880 middle of COVID. It was after, it was after 721 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,480 COVID, but like there was still some weirdness and I don't know, 722 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,680 it was just, there was just a lot going on during that time 723 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,320 and I just didn't, I did not prepare myself for needing as 724 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,720 much help. And I also didn't have like the 725 00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:08,480 birth that I wanted. And there's just a lot of really 726 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,840 weird. So I'm I'm really setting myself 727 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,560 up for success this time I think. 728 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,800 Yeah, it'll be good. It'll be good. 729 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,600 And also I don't know if any of y'all do not know, but we've 730 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,360 also got another social platform called Live Savage where we do 731 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,600 our family stuff. So that is not necessarily 732 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,360 nutrition specific. It is just all the family 733 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,080 oriented everything's, so we'll be putting a lot of updates on 734 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,520 there. Crystal pretty much runs that 735 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,960 for the most part, so live Savage for that. 736 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,440 One, sometimes I'm really good at keeping up on it, and other 737 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,400 times I am not as good as keeping up on it. 738 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,280 We'll have cute baby pictures or something for sure. 739 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,200 Where else can people find you babe and follow alone? 740 00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:52,160 I am the dot lady dot Savage on Instagram and Team Savage on 741 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,200 Facebook.
