 Remember that word of the month I highlighted for April... ENCOURAGE  . . I’m delighted to have been asked to speak with @notthetypicalmom @stefanireinoldmd and encourage you to do ☝ thing for yourself on this journey, “know your limits!” . . If you’re a podcaster, I invite you to join the conversation over at @notthetypicalmom and share in the joy of saying no to those things that are maybe just a bit to far out of your limits. It’s  to know how far you feel comfortable on this journey, and if saying no to the baby shower or whatever is what’s best for you, I ENCOURAGE you to keep doing what’s best for you! . . Thank you @stefanireinoldmd for inviting this #notsotypicalmom to have a voice to #flipthescript this week @resolveorg . . #bumpstobaby#ttcfamily #ttcsister #ttcjourney #baby #journeytobaby #fertilityfoods #nutrition #feedingbaby #fertilityfoodscookbook #ridenotarace #prenatalnutrition #pregnancynutrition #ivfjourney #ivfsupport #nutrition  Pancake 🥞 Friday — should that be a thing? . .

That really helped me be patient, and made me feel like I was actively working toward something." . . Wise words coming in this morning from the wife, mother and dietitian GF baker, Gretchen Brown RD of @kumquatblog . . Gretchen holds a special place in my ♥️ for the outpouring of support she's given me over the last years on this journey. Her commitment to finding the solution that works for YOU, and only YOU, is inspiring. . . I remember when I did a gluten free trial last year from Sept-Nov (unfortunately had to turn it off when the Italian  got the best of me), she was the best advocate and asset on my team. She reminded me that part of this journey is experimenting with your body and knowing what feels right for you, be it a gluten free lifestyle or what have you. . .

Erica shares her journey with us today over on BumpstoBaby.com (link in bio or below) and has an important message about body ❤️ I’m dropping below. I’m fairly certain anyone who’s gone through any stage of infertility can certainly resonate with this! . . Thank you Erica for being so brave and sharing with us! . . “Body love: This has been the hardest part for me. Over the course of 18 months I’ve been on and off hormones, undergone IVF cycle/retrieval, experienced a miscarriage, and been on an emotional rollercoaster. I’ve seen my body morph, and as a former athlete this has been mentally taxing. I highly encourage you to do something for yourself every week to find calm: meditation, yoga, a hike. Something just for YOU. And stay focused on what you seek: a beautiful healthy baby  “ . . https://bumpstobaby.com/warrior-women-erica-friedman/
