In this episode, I offer a raw and honest look at the complexities and joys of my second trimester as a first time mom. 

I dive deep into my 20-week ultrasound experience and the big decisions I made for a healthy home birth. 

I also share my journey with prenatal tests, my biohacker vs. naturalist approach, and my mental struggle with body image and weight gain during pregnancy. 

Stay tuned for tips on balancing biohacking with a natural approach to pregnancy.
