Absolutely! The problem is I often feel overwhelmed.

I try to focus on the present as much a possible. That allows me more space to check in with myself for self care

It is very hard work

I hear that! I really feel like I work so hard to be stable to then practice self-care only to briefly have balance. My new thought on this is that we have to habituate self-care like brushing teeth and also see life more as an unbalanced process than one of a balanced process because stability is brief and only to be disrupted again I feel. Does that make any sense or am I rambling?...

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!
