Pregnancy Updates and Q&A

AMANDA MONTALVO
About this episode

In this episode, I am sharing details about the first half of my second pregnancy, comparing it to my previous, sharing what I’m doing differently, and answering your common pregnancy questions. I also did a bonus episode for my Patreon members answering their questions on pregnancy. You can find this on patreon.com/hormonehealingrd

As always, this episode is for informational purposes only. Please talk with your provider before making any nutrition or lifestyle changes.

This episode covers:

  • What I did for my health before trying to conceive again
  • How this pregnancy compares to my first
  • Timing HTMAs before conceiving, during pregnancy, and postpartum
  • Answering common questions such as what I'm doing differently, my thoughts on placenta encapsulation, and how to help with morning sickness
