Pearently Empowered Pregnancy: Recent Episodes
Team Pearently
I am going to be talking about reasons to give birth without pain-reducing medication so that you can have a beautiful birth experience and pave the way for great bonding with your child.
Question of the day: What is your reason for giving birth without pain-reducing medication? Let me know in the comment section below.
Why it is important to give birth without pain reducing meds like an epidural. For each woman the reason is a little bit different. I want to give you some reasons to ponder. Birth is not an easy task. And I want you to know that I know this. I know it is hard, but I know you can do it, and I want you to know that I am here to support you.
Labor and birth have become known as an abnormal event that causes pain and needs a lot of interventions such as epidurals, monitors, cervical checks, assisted deliveries, and more. But I want you to think of birth a little bit differently. You are naturally capable of giving birth because you have an intuitive instinct to give birth. You are able to give birth without all of the interventions deemed necessary. You can get the support you need and be comforted through your natural birth process so that it is not a suffering birth process.
Giving birth naturally (vaginally and without pain-reducing meds) is the best for Mom. C-Section births are not best because they put mom and baby at risk for infection, the slower healing process, and complications with breastfeeding success and bonding. They are saved for emergency situations. Epidurals put mom in bed with constant stimulations. Now there are times when epidurals are necessary, there are times when C-Sections and assisted deliveries are necessary, and I want to make it clear that I am not putting these down and each woman has a different situation.
I am here to tell you that amazing event happening in the body when we women let our primal personalities come out to give birth naturally. Things happen such as listening to our body, move with contractions, open up our hips and pelvis to make room for baby to move down into the birth canal, labor that progresses faster than if we had an epidural and laid in bed, decreases sense of pain, elated feeling, preventing hemorrhage, and long-term bonding with baby....

Vaccinations are recommended by the FDA, CDC, ACOG. However, just because vaccines are recommended does not mean that you have to be vaccinated. Vaccinations are not required. Don’t ever be pressured by your healthcare provider to be vaccinated. You need to do research and decide to be vaccinated or not based on an informed decision.
I have listed several sites that explain vaccines and the safety versus the concern of the vaccines. Please read these articles to make an informed decision for yourself and your baby.
Read both sides of the debate:
- Vaccine Safety: https://vaccinesafetycommission.org/index.html
- FDA: https://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/default.htm
- CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/index.html

What are the signs of labor? When should you go to the hospital in active labor for your labor and delivery? Labor and delivery can be difficult to understand, let us help you! ► Don’t forget to click the link to join my FREE live online pregnancy coaching class.

Often times women end up at the hospital and they are embarrassed realizing that they did not need to come to the hospital. Coming to the hospital when you are not in labor can spend unnecessary time and money on your part. It is our goal to help save you both time and money by helping you understand when you should come to the hospital.
Did you know that 90% of women that show up in the hospital thinking they are in labor end up getting sent home!
We want to save you money and the embarrassment of getting sent home.
Labor is a journey that you will take as a woman. If you look at the signs of labor as a journey you will be able to understand what is happening and when you are truly ready to go to the hospital.
If you understand labor as a journey than you will have an expectation of how long it will take and what to expect. But just like in journey labor can come with some detours and it can vary in duration. It is important to understand that labor and delivery are longer for some women and shorter for others. The journey varies for each woman.
Labor is a journey of regular contractions, a certain interval of time, and pain. You need to have all three of these before you know for sure that you are in labor.
The first of these is regular contractions. Regular or frequent contractions are defined as contractions happening every two to four minutes, two to three minutes, or three to five minutes. These are all variations of labor contractions that have a frequent pattern. They must have an interval of fewer than five minutes to be considered frequent contractions.
So if you are contracting frequently but it is every fifteen minutes then that is NOT frequent. Frequent is every two to five minutes.
The second part of understanding the signs of labor is the length of contractions. How long is your contraction lasting for each time you have one. Contractions that are regular in nature are sixty to ninety seconds long. So, your contraction starts and it lasts a certain time period. In order for your contractions to be frequent that time period needs to be sixty to ninety seconds.
Pain is the third thing that must take place in order for you to be in labor. Pain is a necessary process in order to deliver your baby. Men, cannot handle the pain of labor and delivery, but women have been blessed with the strength and fortitude to handle the pain of labor and delivery.
You can watch the video for more on understanding the signs of labor.

How do you know if you are in labor and when should you go to the hospital? Dr. Boyd is going to talk to you about 4 reasons you should consider to go or not go to the hospital. ► Don’t forget to click the link to join my FREE live online pregnancy coaching class.

Dr. Boyd will talk about the 4 reasons that you should or should not go to the hospital. These are in a specific order so that you know if you are truly ready to go to the hospital.
- Labor
- Rupture of Membranes
- Spotting Vs Bleeding
- Decreased Fetal Movement
Labor is the first sign that you need to consider when you are thinking about going into the hospital. For first time moms it can be tricky to understand when you are actually in labor. You have never felt active (FULL ON) labor before so how in the world do you know if it is actually happening.
Dr. Boyd uses many analogies to help you understand the pain of labor. Labor pain is a key indicator. He likes to ask women in his practice. Have you ever been hit in the head with a wood 2x4. 99.9% of women, say, “Well, of course not”. He then proceeds to say… “If you did get hit in the head with a 2x4 would you know…” And I am sure most women would say, “Well, of course.”
This is what labor pain is like. You are CERTAIN that you are in labor because you have never experienced this level of pain before.
Another key element is to consider the timing and of your contractions (described by Dr. Boyd in the video).
The second reason you may be in labor, or you may not be… is the rupture of your membranes.
Many women end up at the hospital and they have merely lost urine rather than their membranes rupturing.
So it is important to understand the difference between your membranes being ruptured and simply losing urine do to a weak urethra late in pregnancy.
The third reason you may or may not end up at the hospital is bleeding or spotting. Something that happens late in your pregnancy is spotting. This is due to the cervix thinning out and preparing for the delivery of your baby.
If you are bleeding heavily on the other hand you are definitely going to want to call your healthcare provider or go to your local hospital.
The last thing that may take you into the hospital is decreased fetal movement. Every woman that is pregnant feels their baby move throughout their pregnancy. However as you reach the end of your pregnancy your baby begins to run out of room. So the movement is going to decrease relatively to your earlier gestation.
More about when to go into the hospital in the video!

If you are coming up on your Glucose screen test than you are in the right place. The glucose screen test takes place between weeks 24 and 28 of your pregnancy. The glucose test is checking for your risk of gestational diabetes in your pregnancy. It is important to understand that you don’t want to cheat to pass this test. This test exists to help ensure optimal health for you and your baby.
So, in this video we are going to talk about how you can take steps to ensure you are prepared to pass you test in a healthy manner. Passing your glucose test is all about making the right diet/lifestyle decisions leading up to your test.
You need to be making decisions that will lend to balanced blood sugar levels. Your blood sugar levels in pregnancy are important because your baby is being fed from the nutrients in your body. In order to have a healthy baby you do not want to be constantly spiking your blood sugar levels.
In this video we will go through what the screening (Oral Glucose Challenge Test) is, what the screening is not, what is insulin, what is gestational diabetes, and how to pass the screening and be healthy in pregnancy by decreasing intake of simple, refined carbohydrates, eating protein, fat, and whole carbohydrates with each meal, and exercising to manage your blood sugar levels!
I could go on and on about the glucose test in written form, but I think it is more effective to communicate this topic via video… so join me now as we talk all about the glucose screen test!

Hey ladies, welcome to our live stream on how to get pregnant faster with irregular periods. ► Click the link below to download our 3 Step Guide to Getting Pregnant
►►► 3 Step Guide to Getting Pregnant
( http://bit.ly/3steppregnantguide )
First, let’s talk about the fact that planning is so important when it comes to pregnancy. Getting pregnant can take time for women, and it is easy to get frustrated when it doesn’t happen today. Taking time to plan when you want to get pregnant will help you control your anxiety.
So, let’s talk about the reasons why some women have irregular periods. Birth control changes your hormones so that you don’t ovulate. When you stop taking birth control, it may take up to one year for ovulation to return. Depo-Provera and Implanon/Nexplanon can take one year or more for ovulation to return. If you have a low BMI (less than 18), or if you have a high BMI (greater than 30) your hormones may be out of balance and you may have irregular periods and not ovulate.
It is possible to ovulate if you have irregular periods. However, it is very difficult to know when and if you are ovulating. The only way to know for sure is if you get pregnant. Using an ovulation predictor kit or having sex every day could work, but this is not predictable or consistent.
A regular period is somewhat specialized to you. You need to mark on your calendar when you begin one cycle (the first day you see blood) and count to the first day of your next cycle (the first day you see blood). How many days was that? Is your next cycle the same as your last? How about the last cycle? This is predictable, consistent, and it means you are regular. Say you have a 28-day cycle. You may ovulate on day 14. Your fertile window is the time period that you may ovulate within if you don’t ovulate on day 14. Your fertile window is day 10 to day 18. You and your husband should have sex every 48-hours starting on day 10 through day 18.

So, we know that it is very important to regulate cycles before trying to conceive.
How can you regulate your cycles naturally? Dr. Boyd says that the way to regulate your cycle naturally is with the hormone progesterone. Talk to your doctor about how much progesterone you need to regulate your cycles.
Best wishes on conceiving!

So, there are technically only two ways to deliver your baby: C-Section or vaginal delivery
There is however assisted vaginal delivery by natural or medical induction, episiotomy, amniotomy, forceps extraction, and vacuum extraction (to name a few). And there are a few places to deliver your baby such as at the hospital (recommended for safety), at home (not recommended), or in the water, which can reduce the pain of labor.
But let’s really get into the ways to deal with the pain of labor and childbirth. I am going to talk about a few of the different birthing techniques to decrease and cope with pain during labor and delivery.

Hey mama, can you drink coffee while you are pregnant? ► You can learn all the ins and outs of your pregnancy, including more about the best drinks, nutrition, and SO much more by clicking the link below!

I love coffee. I want a hot cup of coffee when I get up in the morning. But when I was pregnant, I didn’t want coffee. I still wanted the caffeine though. If you are like that, then don’t resort to soda. All sugar can lead to gestational diabetes and weight gain. Diet soda has aspartame and can lead to other health concerns. But we are talking about coffee today.
So, you are pregnant, and you are wondering how much coffee you can drink.
It is recommended that you not drink more than 200 mg of caffeine per day. Two cups of coffee have 190 mg of caffeine. So, your intake should not be more than about two cups or 16 ounces.
Think about the size cup of coffee you drink out of each day. Now compare it to a measuring cup. Maybe you thought it was only a cup of coffee but it is more like two cups of coffee.
Also, you want to be sure you are keeping track of how much sugar you are consuming with your coffee. Try to stay away from frappuccinos, lattes, and other added sugar.
When I say coffee, I mean plain coffee. It is easy to forget that a shot of espresso has a lot more concentrated caffeine.
Last, don’t forget to drink water. I recommend that you drink 60 - 100 ounces of water per day as a baseline. Get a water bottle that you love. Fill it up, drink it, and fill it up again. If you drink coffee then think about how it will cause you to pee more.
So, you need to drink more water to prevent bladder and kidney infections and also replenish the amniotic fluid.

Hey ladies, you are watching this video because you want to know how long after your miscarriage you have to wait to get pregnant again. ► Click the link below to download our free 3 step guide to get pregnant.
►►► 3 Steps to Getting Pregnant Guide - http://bit.ly/3steppregnantguide
The real question is when will you begin to ovulate again after a miscarriage. The answer is that you will ovulate approximately 4-6 weeks after a miscarriage.
Now, you can ovulate as soon as two weeks and as long as three months after your miscarriage. But the average is 4-6 weeks.
However, it is not recommended that you get pregnant so soon after a miscarriage. Most healthcare providers recommend that you wait six months before getting trying to conceive again.
This is because you are at greater risk for another miscarriage if you conceive too early.
The miscarriage rate is twenty-percent (one in five women miscarry). However, this percentage is much higher if you conceive before the six-month mark.
It is important for you to talk to your healthcare provider about options for contraception.

Hello everyone, my name is Dr. Boyd. I am explaining why the doctor has to check your cervix. ► Click the link below to download the power pregnancy workbook and get all that you need in your pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
► ► ► Click to download the Power Pregnancy Workbook - http://bit.ly/powerpregnancy
I hear this question a lot, “Why is my doctor going to check my cervix?”
I know that a lot of women are also concerned with “how often will my doctor check my cervix during pregnancy?”, so we will answer this as well.
First, no one likes to have their cervix examined, but it is important to remember that there is a good reason for the doctor to examine your cervix.
Your healthcare provider will examine your cervix by placing a speculum when you have your first OB visit. Your cervix is located at the bottom of your uterus. This exam is to verify that your cervix is closed and 5 cm (approximately 2 inches) in length. This means that your cervix is competent and can hold your baby inside of your uterus until the time of delivery around 40 weeks gestation.
You will have your next cervical exam around 36 - 38 weeks gestation unless you begin to have contractions before this time. If you begin to have contractions before 36 weeks gestation, then your healthcare provider will examine your cervix to make sure you don’t have preterm labor and preterm birth.
In the past, healthcare providers would examine the cervix before 36 weeks gestation to make sure baby was in the head down position. With the help of sonogram, we don’t need to examine the cervix so early anymore. We now check the cervix to see if the cervix is thinning and opening.
To examine your cervix, the healthcare provider will have you remove your clothes, lay on the exam table, and pull your legs up into a frog leg position. This exam should not hurt. Notify your healthcare provider if she or he is hurting you. A cervix completely dilated (10 cm) and completely effaced will allow baby to be delivered.

Hey mama, you want to know how to get your body back after pregnancy and eat foods that make you feel good. Click the links below to follow Lauren or learn more about Pearently!
You can follow Lauren on her:
Blog - https://potterofthree.com/
Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/potterofthree/
Click to download your Power Pregnancy Workbook - http://bit.ly/powerpregnancy
Lauren had a C-Section that was not planned. She planned to exercise right after a vaginal delivery. However, she had to recover from surgery and could not start working out again right away. This is a great example about being flexible when thinking about your birth plan. Sometimes our plans change for the safety of mom and baby.
Lauren is a fitness instructor and was in shape before her pregnancy. She said that her abdominal muscles changed after pregnancy and the C-Section. Now her abs are not the same as they were before. She has to work with a changed body, but she encourages moms that it is possible to get back into shape. She began to walk and incorporate cardio after her eight week visit with her doctor. She slowly began low impact cardio classes.
Then she began pilates again. It took Lauren 6 to 8 months before she began to feel her abdominal muscles again. She is now 15 months postpartum and says that she feels normal again. She cautions women to not compare themselves to other women, keep working, and it will come back. It is important to give yourself grace.
Tips: be balanced, be slow, and don’t expect your body to be exactly the same as before (but you can get it to a place that you are happy).
Exercise tips: start with basic pelvic tilts, basic plank on knees starting at 3 times per week.
Lauren recommends the Whole30 (cut out all processed foods) for weight loss. She lost her baby weight and feels great.
Snacks: apple slices with raw almond butter, almonds, and other nuts.

I interviewed Yesenia (Jess), creator of Mama of Both Worlds. She is your go to woman when you are wondering how to be a boss at pregnancy and work. I asked Jess how she was pregnant, working, and still on top of things. With her first pregnancy she was working as a staff attorney. She worked until a week before her due date.
She said that it was exhausting, her feet were hurting, but she had to keep going: “It is something many of us have to endure.” She pushed through, and then she was able to enjoy her time with her son.
However, in her second pregnancy she was her own boss. She took the reigns and decided her own schedule. She said that she was able to take time to prepare and wean out of the work mode before her second son arrived.
Becoming a mom the first time motivated Jess to step out, start her own business, and become her own boss. She had to go back to work ten weeks after her first son was born, and this pushed her out of her box to decide to start her own business.
She finally decided that she couldn’t work for someone else anymore. She began dreaming of different possibilities. She had close friends and relatives to watch her son, but she wanted to be home with her son.
Jess still has to take time to work on her own. Her children go to pre-k and family when she has to work, but her weeks are much shorter than they were when she was working for someone else. She also has her husband working with her in her business. She is able to balance time with her husband, and this makes her business and homelife balance out.
Her tip to other mamas is this: “Ask yourself some questions, ‘Is my job flexible? Can I move to another position? Am I passionate about what I am doing?’” As you answer these questions, then you will know if you need to brainstorm other possibilities for work to balance with motherhood.
For you mama, you can be passionate about what you do. It is time to dig deep, be creative, and find a way to do your job and be an amazing mother.

Hey, this is Dr. Boyd. You are here because you are wondering what to do after a miscarriage. ► Click the link below to download our free 3 step guide to get pregnant.
►►► Download the Getting Pregnant Guide - http://bit.ly/3steppregnantguide
Getting pregnant after a miscarriage can be a scary thing. We are here to help you after your miscarriage.
First, it is important to know that it takes 4-6 weeks to begin to ovulate after a miscarriage. You can ovulate as soon as 2 weeks, and it also may take up to 3 months, but the average is 4-6 weeks.
Though you can get pregnant this soon, it is not optimal. The optimal time to wait is 6 months.
This is to prevent a repeat miscarriage. The loss rate for pregnancy is twenty percent (1 in 5 women).
However, if you get pregnant after a miscarriage before waiting for 6 months, then your loss rate is above that twenty percent.
So, it is important to use some form of contraceptive during those first 6 months after a miscarriage.
Talk to your healthcare provider, continue your prenatal vitamin and folic acid, drink water, and begin to plan for your next pregnancy.

Hey, Dr. Boyd here to talk to you about bleeding in early pregnancy, specifically the first trimester. What could be the reason for bleeding in the first trimester? ► Click the link below to download our free guide and get empowered in your pregnancy.
►►► Get Pregnant Guide! - http://bit.ly/3steppregnantguide
Women don’t always ask the right questions and get the answers they need from their doctor. So, they go to the internet and look for answers. We want to give you the correct answers.
There are four major identifiable factors that cause bleeding in early pregnancy.
Infection is the number one cause of early pregnancy bleeding. Sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and bacterial vaginosis need to be treated.
Miscarriage is another possible reason for early pregnancy bleeding. Your doctor will perform an ultrasound and draw blood to identify if you are undergoing a miscarriage.
Implantation bleeding may be the cause of early pregnancy bleeding. This occurs as the newly conceived baby burrows into the uterus.
The last reason is the unknown. Sometimes bleeding occurs early in pregnancy and the cause is never identified.
Come and see us at Pearently so that you can get empowered in your pregnancy.

Hey mama, you are pregnant and you are going through a lot right now. Some people tell you it’s easy and some people tell you it’s horrible. You are trying to find your story. We are here for you, we will encourage you, and help you in your pregnancy.

I talked to Lauren Potter about her pregnancy story, and I think you should go check out what she has to say.
Lauren had a lot going on in her pregnancy. Not everything was going right. She wanted to get to the delivery day and have a healthy baby to hold in her arms. Learn from Lauren that things will be thrown at you. Don’t let pregnancy hit you, ask your doctor questions, and be in control.
Her six-week mark started with nausea and vomiting and lasted until she was 20 weeks gestation. She did begin to take Unisom and Vitamin B6 to help her with nausea and vomiting. At the eight week mark, she went to the emergency room and found out that she had a hemorrhage. She had to be on bedrest for five weeks until it resolved. She went on vacation at 25 weeks gestation and she began to have contractions. Then at the end of her pregnancy, she had frequent bladder infections and itching. At 39 weeks gestation, she was induced, she was in labor for 36 hours and then had an emergency C-Section.
Lauren had a lot of obstacles that she had to work around. Pregnancy is different for each woman, pregnancy can be difficult, and it can present new challenges every day. Be ready for whatever happens.
Lauren did not have a good doctor at the beginning of her pregnancy. Her doctor did not answer her questions. She had to find a new doctor to get better care. She encourages women to find a doctor that has time to answer questions, and she cautions women to not go to Google for everything. Go to your doctor, and find a good source. It is important to be informed to be able to make the decisions with the help of your doctor.
Lauren did not have a birth plan because she knew she had to be flexible on delivery day. She decided she would go with the flow to make sure she went with whatever made her safe and her baby safe. A birth plan is guidance. A birth plan is amazing, but keep in mind that you and baby need to be safe. So, some things may change.

Hello mama, today I am talking to you about Caesarean Section (also known as C-Section). You may be asking, “Why do I need to know about c-section?””... Click the link below to get empowered in your pregnancy.
► Click the link to for Yesenia’s blog - http://mamaofbothworlds.com/
► Click the link to get empowered in your pregnancy - http://bit.ly/pearently
Well, statistically 1 in 3 women (33%) will go for C-Section. So, it is important to talk about it now so that you can handle whatever comes at you.
Now, there are elective and emergent C-Sections. Some doctors will allow you to elect to have a C-Section, and some will not if you have no risk factors. An emergency C-Section means that the benefit to take you to surgery outweighs the benefits of a vaginal delivery. There is also the mama that had a C-Section and is now pregnant with her second baby. She may choose to VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section), but she may elect to have a C-Section. It is important to talk to your doctor whether you want to attempt to labor or elect to have a c-section for this baby. Now is the time to start looking at your healthcare provider’s C-Section rates, the hospital’s rates, and so forth. If you have a midwife for a healthcare provider, then you need to ask what surgeon will be performing your C-Section in the case that you need one.
To clarify, C-Section is a surgery. Let’s talk about it and why you may have to have one. Mamas are at greater risk for C-Section if they have a high-risk pregnancy, carry multiples such as twins, have high blood pressure, relevant obstetrical history, an arrest of labor, and many other reasons. Make sure you know beforehand if you are at greater risk for C-Section. Be prepared to ask questions, and make sure your husband is prepared to ask questions. You want to be in charge of what happens to you. Be ready to weigh the risks and benefits, and be ready to make a decision that is best for you and baby.
The operating room is bright, sterile, it echos, and there are people everywhere getting ready for you and baby. If you have an epidural while during labor, then that epidural will be used unless it stops working. If you do not have an epidural in place, then the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist will place a spinal or possibly general anesthesia in the case of an emergency. A spinal will cause numbness and your chest may feel heavy. The anesthesiologist will monitor your breathing, so don’t be alarmed if your chest feels heavy. However, don’t be afraid to ask questions if you are concerned.

Hello, Dr. Boyd here. What is a Cervical Cerclage and why do some women need to get them during their pregnancy? ► If you are interested in learning more about your pregnancy click the link below!...
►►► Get empowered in your pregnancy with Pearently - http://bit.ly/pearently
I know that you don’t want to hear that you need a cerclage, but it is very important for the health of your baby. Inside your uterus is your baby, and we all want your baby to be born around 40 weeks.
This means that if a baby is born at 38 weeks, he or she will be safe; but we say 40 weeks because that is the optimal number.
If your baby is born before viability due to an incompetent cervix and silent dilatation then your doctor will talk to you about your need for a cerclage in future pregnancies.
An incompetent cervix is different than a short cervix. A short cervix may be just that, short. Whereas an incompetent cervix is one that is short, continues to get shorter, and also opens (dilates).
This is bad because your baby will be delivered prematurely, and no one wants this. So, if this is your first pregnancy, then your healthcare provider will monitor you closely to see if your cervix changes.
If your cervix continues to shorten and dilate, then he or she will talk to you about the need to place a cerclage. If you had a previous pregnancy where baby delivered prematurely because your healthcare provider did not know that you had an incompetent cervix, then you will need a cerclage for this pregnancy.
Placing a cerclage is a surgical procedure. This means that you will go to the hospital, be administered spinal or epidural anesthesia, and your physician will place a stitch to prevent the cervix from opening.
If you want to know more about cerclage, then click the link below to learn more and how you can get everything you need for your pregnancy.

Hello mama, today we talked to Courtney Bahr about her pregnancies and the importance of getting empowered in your pregnancy. Click the link below to learn more...
Often mamas don’t have time to get prepared, but now with Pearently you can get prepared and empowered from the comfort of your home --- http://bit.ly/pearently
Courtney had a ton of questions with her first pregnancy. She was wondering what to expect, body changes, and growth changes of baby and mama. Every milestone and trimester brought new questions, and Dr. Boyd answered her questions in a way she and her husband could understand.
Courtney reminds us that pregnancy brings fears. Dr. Boyd helped ease her fears and give her comfort with his support and answering her questions.
Courtney’s second baby brought a new doctor and new questions. She really liked her new doctor, but she wasn’t getting her questions answered. Dr. Boyd took the time to answer her questions in easy to understand way.
Every mom has a different pregnancy and birth plan. Having an easy to access resource in a course type setting with live chats and community will benefit new moms. We answer questions such as, “Is this back pain normal, why am I so hungry, and should I eat more.”
Courtney reminds us that Google is not the best resource for pregnancy as it does not always present a trusted source. Moms need to find a resource that provides someone who truly cares for the health of mama and baby.
One take away from Courtney is to be empowered in your knowledge. Get knowledge that is valuable and important. Know what you need to be prepared for pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. There are so many changes with every pregnancy and baby. It is important to have good knowledge and a well-trusted source. Go into delivery empowered, and confident as your role as a mama giving birth.

( http://bit.ly/3steppregnantguide )
I am a guy, and I understand that guys have a different answer than women do. You are thinking that you just need the sperm to get pregnant. You may think the magic number is to have sex every day of the year in order to successfully get pregnant.
And the guy says, “great!” But this is not true. Men will experience performance anxiety if he tries to have sex every day of the month. Men think they can have sex every day, but they cannot.
Performance anxiety exists, and he will not be able to ejaculate when you need him to ejaculate. So, the optimal time to have sex is every 48-hours in order to get pregnant.
It is NOT every two days. Your egg lasts 12-24 hours, and the sperm lasts 48-hours. If you and your husband have sex on Monday morning, and then again on Wednesday night, the sperm from Monday morning will be dead on Wednesday morning (48- hours).
Say that you ovulate Wednesday morning. The sperm from Monday morning will not be able to fertilize your egg because they are dead. Your egg will last for 12-24 hours.
However, assume that it will only last 12-hours. So, if you ovulate Wednesday morning at 7:00 am, then assume that your egg will die by Wednesday at 7:00 pm. Say you have sex Wednesday night at 10:00 pm. You have missed your opportunity to conceive.
This is emotional, and you may think you have a fertility problem. You don’t have a problem, you just missed your opportunity.

Hey Mama, today talked to Cortney Smith about getting your pregnancy needs met and how important it is to make sure you have what you need. Click the link below to learn more about Pearently...
►►► Get empowered in your pregnancy with Pearently - http://bit.ly/pearently
Cortney said her pregnancy was an incredible journey, but she had a lot to learn. She had to manage first-trimester body changes, and things she didn’t understand. She had to accept the fact that she had less energy, emotional changes, and she did not always get things done in her day that she was used to doing.
In the first trimester, Cortney experienced discomfort, morning sickness, and nausea all day. She was surprised that her body was changing so much. Through the journey of experiencing discomfort, she discovered how much stronger she is than she had thought. Being present in the moment is challenging, but it is important in order to enjoy each day. Her second trimester brought with it more energy. Cortney was excited to begin working out again. Cortney reminds mamas that it is key to exercise to be healthy and have a good pregnancy. She recommends activity in pregnancy; just keep moving.
Cortney has an incredible husband, and he was her main support during pregnancy. She needed her husband as her emotional and spiritual support. But she recognizes now that she really needed a group of women for support in her pregnancy too. Support is needed in pregnancy because let’s be honest, we are scared. We need a reminder that we are stronger than we think we are.
Cortney was living away from her family, and her friends were not Mamas yet. She was challenged to find support from other seasoned mamas. However, the local pregnant mom’s group met on a day that was convenient for Cortney. She was not able to connect with this group. So, she found mamas on the internet. She found support and community through online connections, women that were in the same season of life that she was in at the time. She needed these sources to answer her questions: “How to approach food cravings, what to pack in my birth bag, and tips for sleeping.” These online sources became her encouragement in time of need.
The internet is a great place for community and information. But it is hard to find good quality sources. We are Pearently provide that community and information for pregnancy, labor, and delivery in one place. It is super convenient, and it is credible information for you in your pregnancy.

I’m Dr. Boyd, a board-certified OB/GYN. In this video, I want to talk about how to calculate ovulation period to get pregnant. ⏩ Download the free 3 Step Guide to Getting Pregnant below!
⏩ FREE 3 step guide to getting pregnant
( http://bit.ly/3steppregnantguide )
Today we are talking about ovulation and how to use your menstrual period to determine when you ovulate. If you don’t ovulate, then you will not get pregnant. It is important to understand when you ovulate to best gauge when to have sex in order to get pregnant.
Ovulation usually happens in the mid-part of your cycle. What does that mean? We are going to use three examples to demonstrate what this means.
The perfect woman (if she were to exist) has a 28-day cycle. This means that the end of one cycle to the beginning of the next cycle is a 28-day period of time. Day 1 of her cycle is the first day she sees any blood, even if it is light spotting. This woman will ovulate approximately 14 days before that bleeding begins.
She may ovulate on day 10 or any day through day 17. This woman should begin to have sex on day 10, and have sex every 48-hours for the optimal sperm count. This means that she should have sex on day 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18.
Now let’s give the example of the woman with the 21-day cycle. This woman ovulates from day 7 through day 14. She should have sex on day 7, 9 ,11, 13, and 15.
How about the woman with the 35-day cycle? She ovulates on day 14 through day 21. She should optimally have sex on day 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22.
It is important to have sex every 48-hours, not every two days. Why is 48-hours important? Say the woman ovulates on day 14 - Wednesday morning at 7:00 am. Her egg may die by 7:00 pm on Wednesday night.
The egg may last until the next morning at 7:00 am, but it is safe to say that it will die in 12 hours. If this woman has sex on Monday morning, then most of the man’s sperm will be dead within 48-hours. So, if she has sex at 5:00 am on Monday morning, then most of his sperm is dead by Wednesday morning at 5:00 am.
Say the woman ovulates at 7:00 am on Wednesday morning. If they don’t have sex in the next 12 - 24 hours then she will not conceive. So, it is very important to have sex in the 48-hour period. Don’t set a timer, because he won’t forget. Make a game out of it, and continue to have intimacy in the bed.

Hello Mama. Today we are talking to Emily Carroll about how to go back to work after having a baby. ► Click the link below to learn more…
►►► Get empowered in your pregnancy with Pearently - http://bit.ly/pearently
Today we are talking about the postpartum period and going back to work. There is a lot to learn in the first year of baby’s life, and it can be difficult to find the information that will be helpful when going back to work as a mom.
Emily Carrol is a mama to six and a full-time nurse. She was blessed to be home with her first five children. She went back to work six weeks after her sixth baby was born. This was new for her, and it was difficult. She had to learn how to navigate lactation breaks in a demanding, fast-paced job. This was a new experience and a new challenge.
I ask Emily how she learned to navigate a job, co-workers, her boss, and her rights as a woman that needs lactation breaks.
Emily wants us to think about pumping in a simplified way. It is important to not think about a full bottle but thinks about keeping breast milk supply up by stimulating your lactation. Think this way, “I need to sit down this many times______ for this much time______ in one shift.” By thinking this way, mama will alleviate the stress that she has to sit until a bottle is filled. Stimulating the breast will make sure the milk supply is obtained. If mama has time to get a full bottle then take that opportunity, but if there isn’t enough time then take what time is possible.
When thinking about your co-workers practice approaching them by saying, “I need to do this_____ for this much time_____. You can reach me this way.”
Attempt to reduce the stress that other co-workers have to cover your work. Take time to communicate and be thoughtful to support co-workers. They are doing mama a favor, and mama can do a favor for co-workers. Offer co-workers a coffee break upon returning from a break. This will make a huge difference.

Today we are talking about preeclampsia. Now, years ago this condition was also called toxemia. So perhaps your mother, grandmother, or aunt may refer to preeclampsia as toxemia.
There is no toxin that creates preeclampsia, so that name was rather misleading to many pregnant women. preeclampsia is a complex issue in the body that takes place at a microscopic level and it creates a clinical scenario for you that can be dangerous for you and your baby.
There are three elements that make up the diagnosis of preeclampsia.
-
Elevated blood pressure
-
Swelling throughout your body
-
Protein being released from your urine
When your urine is checked in your OB’s office often times they are identifying if the protein is there or it is not there. If protein is found in your urine then you are a candidate for a potential diagnosis for preeclampsia.
When the diagnosis of preeclampsia is made your doctor will stratify if your preeclampsia is mild or severe. Then a decision will be made on how your preeclampsia will be managed.
There are three options for the management of preeclampsia depending on the severity. You can be managed as an Outpatient (at home), 9inpatient (in the hospital), or by delivery (your baby needs to be delivered).
The last option often raises many questions. “Why should my baby be delivered and how will my baby be delivered” are the two most common questions.
Delivering the baby whether it is a vaginal delivery via induction of labor or c-section will reverse the course of the preeclampsia.

Hello mama. Today we are talking to Emily Carroll about preparing for pregnancy the right way. She has a lot of great tips to help you get prepared! ► Click the link below to learn more…
►►► Get empowered in your pregnancy with Pearently - http://bit.ly/pearently
Emily Carroll is a nurse and mother to six little children. She had different experiences with every pregnancy.
Emily started out her pregnancy journey carrying twins! She is a very small person, 5’3 with a small frame. She carried twins to 39 weeks and 6 days. Everyone around her told her that she would not progress to full term, but she did. She was emotional about carrying these twins to full term. But she did it.
She then carried a little girl, a little boy was next, and then another little baby boy. She had three pregnancies in three years. And then after a four-year gap, she delivered a baby boy.
Emily explains that every birth and pregnancy was different, and she wants you to know that your experiences will also be unique.
Emily was a first-time mama carrying twins, and she was always asking questions. She would get different answers from different people. So, she had to figure out how to prepare in the correct way.
Emily explains that first-time mamas have a lot of pressure to learn all that they can about the babies inside of the womb. It is important to be prepared and be educated. How can a mama get prepared?
Emily had trusted sources in her life. She also had many copies of What to Expect When You’re Expecting. There is a slew of information on the internet that can cause a first-time mom to become overwhelmed.
“All of the information out there can be super overwhelming. You feel like you are drinking from a fire hydrant sometimes!”
It is difficult to know which source is trusted versus “just found on the internet”. This can produce anxiety, especially when internet information is different from what people say happened in their story.
Who is mama supposed to talk to about these fears and anxieties? Sometimes women go into the office for a visit and the nurses don’t explain what is going on in the mama’s body. And it can be hard to get answers from the busy doctor or midwife.
It is important to be diligent and be intentional to find a trusted source. Stick with that trusted source once you find one. This will make a huge difference in changing anxiety to calmness, and overwhelmed to confidence.
How do we as Mamas get that trusted source? We have got you covered, Mama. Pearently is your trusted source. Dr. Boyd, who has been a board-certified OB/GYN for 25 plus years as well as nurses, moms, and dads have all the medical knowledge you need as a resource. We are not your primary care providers as we are not providing medical care to you. We are providing medical information as a resource to you.

In this Video, Dr. Boyd talks about what is Ectopic pregnancy. What does it mean to have an ectopic pregnancy and what are your options moving forward. ► Learn more about Pearently - Click the link below!
►►► Learn More About Pearently - ( http://bit.ly/pearently )
It is first important to understand that this is a pregnancy. The problem is that the pregnancy is in the wrong location. The word ectopic simply means, outside of the uterus.
Now, there are three different locations where an ectopic pregnancy can occur.
The first location is the fallopian tube (this is by far the most commonplace), inside the ovary, or inside the abdomen. Ovarian pregnancies and abdominal pregnancies are extremely rare. Through Dr. Boyds 26 years of practice, he has never seen either one of those types of ectopic pregnancies.
So, for the great majority of doctors and patients, the term ectopic pregnancy is referring to a pregnancy in the fallopian tube. Unfortunately, the pregnancy is not viable in this situation. The fallopian tube is too small and the pregnancy cannot be transferred to the uterus.
One of two things will happen in this situation. Either the fallopian tube will rupture as the baby grows, or the baby will dissolve on its own and go away over time. Those are the only two scenarios that exist. Your doctor will talk to you about a drug called methotrexate, surgery, or simply waiting to see if the pregnancy dissolves on its own.

The Group B Strep test is a common test performed on pregnant women to test for Group B Streptococcus. If a woman is found positive for Group B Strep she often wants to know will it affect her or her baby. ► Click the link below to get the Power Pregnancy Workbook!

It is important to understand that all women have bacteria that lives in their vagina and around their rectal area. The bacteria Group B Streptococcus is one of these bacteria. This is a normal bacteria that lives in the vagina and the rectal area of 1 out of 4 women.
Remember, all women have bacteria, but 1 out of 4 women have this specific bacteria.
The issue with this bacteria is that if the baby goes through the birth canal and this bacteria is positive 1% of babies are at risk of developing either pneumonia or meningitis.
These are two potentially life threatening illnesses. They can cause great harm or even death to your baby. So, as Obstetrician Gynecologists we want to know if you are positive for Group B Strep.
How is a Group B Strep test performed?
You will be laid back on an assessment bed (similar to getting a pap smear) in your OB’s office. Your doctor will then place a speculum in your vagina, then your doctor will swab your vagina and cervix. Then the speculum is removed and the area around your rectum will be swabbed.
A total of three areas are swabbed during this test. The rectum, vagina, and cervix.
When the test results are returned your doctor will notify you if your are Group B Strep positive or negative. If you are negative, GREAT! You can simply notify the nurses that you are Group B Strep negative when you arrive at labor and delivery.
However, if you are Group B Strep positive it is very important that you notify the nurse immediately when you arrive on labor and delivery. The reason for this is we want to treat you with antibiotics if you are Group B Strep positive. We want those antibiotics to be in your system for a minimum of 4 hours before your baby comes through the birth canal.
This is a very important topic for the health and safety of your baby.

When you find out you are pregnant and it was unplanned that simply means you did not set out purposefully to have a baby. It does not mean your pregnancy is unwanted. In the United States, there are 3 Million pregnancies per year and 50% of those pregnancies are unplanned.
So, 1.5 million women need to take a moment to read this post or watch this video (that would be amazing, right?!). There are four things we want to discuss today when talking about what to do after you find out you are pregnant.

Annabelle took a moment to chat with Emily Allison about how to have a great pregnancy. What did she do to prepare for her pregnancy? How can you do the same? ► Click the link below to learn more…
►►► Get empowered in your pregnancy with Pearently - http://bit.ly/pearently
Emily said she had a great pregnancy. She had sisters that had previously had children and her mom is a veteran nurse. She had the support family and that was a key element to her successful pregnancy.
Because she had heard a lot of the stories from her sisters and her mom she felt prepared for what was to come. She had the information and power she needed to walk into the labor room ready for whatever was to come her way.
Her sisters shared some good stories and bad stories. This allowed her to have realistic expectations of pregnancy. She was able to be prepared for the good and the bad. This is crucial for having a great pregnancy because things can go wrong. It is important to know your options!
Emily says that her birth went great. Nothing went wrong, but she still felt there were a few things she wishes she would have known going into it. One of the things that was not a good experience was one of the nurses caring for her. She began to tell Emily about SIDS stories and things that could go wrong with my new baby.
These were things I did not need to hear as a new mom and I had no information to combat the worry and anxiety she was putting inside of me. Emily realizes that the nurses know A LOT about pregnancy, labor, delivery, and babies, but the moms coming in do not. It is crucial that these nurses encourage and support these women, rather than scare them.
If you are going through pregnancy right now, or you are trying to raise a little newborn baby you need to know that it is ok to ask for help. It is ok to say that you need support, you need a break, or that you are becoming overwhelmed.
This is the true key to having a great pregnancy. Get the help and support you need!
We talked to Emily about how she prepared for her pregnancy to have a great pregnancy!
Emily immediately started off by taking prenatal vitamins 3 months before she became pregnant. This is extremely important to get off on the right foot with your pregnancy and can decrease MANY risks in your pregnancy.
On top of taking prenatal vitamins, Emily ate healthily, walked, and worked out all the way up to delivery day. These are crucial aspects to have a successful pregnancy. What we saw with Emily is that she approached pregnancy in a very holistic manner. She was not afraid to do what it took in all aspects of her life to have a healthy pregnancy.

If you have yet to start preparing for your pregnancy Dr. Boyd recommends these few things to get you started in your preparations.
Over the past 26 years, many patients would come into my office and ask, “What should I do to prepare for my upcoming pregnancy?”. I am going to share with you what I have discussed with women over the past 26 years that helped many women have a successful pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Emily is a mama working from home helping other women get non-toxic products for their homes and today we want to talk with her about what she does and the products she promotes!
During her pregnancy, Emily was very conscious about when products she was using to clean her home, wash her hair, and consume in order to have a healthy pregnancy. This sent her on a search for a company that she believed in.
She wanted to make sure that whatever she was bringing into her home was safe for her and her baby. Non-toxic products for health and cleaning are not easy to come by these days and Emily took the time to tell us a little bit about what products you should be consuming and using in your home for a healthy pregnancy.
One of the greatest products for a healthy pregnancy is collagen-based products. Collagen is great for your back and joints during pregnancy as blood flow increases and you put on more weight in your pregnancy. A lot of women experience joint and back pain. The collagen helps reinforce the joints and bones feel better in your pregnancy.
One thing that Emily loves about her products specifically is that the liquid collagen has a 98% absorbency rate whereas other collagen products only absorb into the body at a 30% absorbency rate.
This means that when you take these products your body is getting as many nutrients and health benefits as possible out of the supplement you are taking!
Emily said her goal during her pregnancy with non-toxic products was to live better and worry less. That lead her to find the products she believes in and now shares with other women wanting to have a safe and healthy pregnancy.
It can be very overwhelming to try and figure out on your own which products and companies are truly non-toxic and safe during pregnancy. Advertising has made it so difficult to sift through all the fake “Healthy” products and find products that are truly good for you and your baby during pregnancy and after baby is born.
It is Emily’s passion to help women find the best products for a healthy life!

What happens if your birth plan didn’t or doesn’t go as planned. What should you do, or how can you prepare? ► Do you want to know all of your options and get fully empowered in your pregnancy? Click the link below…
►►► Learn more about Pearently - http://bit.ly/pearently
So you are pregnant and you want to get prepared with a thoughtful birth plan. But what happens if your birth plan doesn’t go according to plan.? What if all of the research YOU did get thrown out the window when emergency strikes?
Annabelle and Cady talk about Cady’s experience when her birth plan didn’t go according to plan and how she is going to better prepare for her next labor and delivery of her baby girl.
In Cady’s first pregnancy she started her journey by seeing an OB (Obstetrician Gynecologist) and things started out well with that Doctor. That was until she started to share her birth plan and ask questions about her labor and delivery.
Cady wanted to put together a birth plan that would involve some slightly unconventional position, no epidural, and a few other details that the OB did not feel comfortable.
Cady decided to go ahead and transfer her labor and delivery to a birthing center. She finalized her birthing plan and was in hopeful anticipation for the day. She was nervous, but excited and felt pretty confident. She had done her research and prepared her birth plan.
What she did not expect was a 47-hour labor and delivery process. During her labor, she had consistent contractions but the contractions were not dilating her cervix as expected… unexpected twist #1 triggered a series of things that landed Cady back in the hospital to give birth where she did not initially plan in her birth plan.
It seems that we cannot always create a full-proof plan that will be perfectly executed. It is important to not only have a firm grasp on your birth plan but to understand the possible option of what could happen in your pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
That is why we at Pearently think it is crucial to understand all of the possibilities that could happen during your pregnancy, labor, and delivery. It is very important for you to understand that what-ifs in your pregnancy and to have mental preparation for whatever comes your way.
Cady is FAR MORE prepared now having gone through her first pregnancy. But that is only looking back in hindsight. Imagine going into your pregnancy prepared and empowered for WHATEVER comes your way.
That is our desire for you here at Pearently.

We wanted to cover a few topics while we had Cady on for the interview. She is a Young Living representative and uses essential oils extensively in her life. The topics covered in this video are…
Are Essential Oils Safe During Pregnancy?
What are the best essential oils to use during pregnancy?
Are all essential oil brands basically the same?
What Essential oils should you completely avoid during pregnancy?
First off we wanted to discuss why it is important to have quality essential oils.
Cady filled us in about some details that we were quite surprised by… The FDA only requires essential oil companies to have 0.5 percent of the essential oil they are claiming to have within each bottle produced in order to market them as “Pure” essential oils. Meaning that the rest of the oil could be just fillers. The companies that have been found to be using filler are usually using fillers that are unbeneficial to one's health or even toxic!
So it is crucial to get essential oils that you can trust. Young Living either owns their crops or partners with companies where they have tested the oils to be up to their level of approved quality.
Ok, now that we know a little bit about some of the details surrounding essential oils, what oils are safe to use during pregnancy?
Cady can only recommend from personal experience the safety of oils during pregnancy. Oils are very potent. This means that everyone can have different reactions to certain oils.
It is crucial that you slowly introduce oils into your life to make sure that y9ou respond in a healthy manner to the oils you want to use.
Cady did say that the oils that trigger positive emotions have been extremely helpful during her pregnancy. Peace & Calming by young living was specifically helpful in relaxing during the stresses of pregnancy. As a new mama, she found that she was worrying during certain times of her pregnancy and the Peace & Calming oil helped her to relax in those uncertain situations.
There is also a pain creme that Young Living has in their line up that was a huge help to Cady as she moved through the later weeks in her pregnancy.
Cady recommends to completely avoid any oils during pregnancy that stimulate hormones.
Clary Sage
Dragon Time
Progessence Plus
These oils are intended to alter hormones, which can be a great thing, but during pregnancy could have uncertain effects.
We appreciate Cady coming on to share her knowledge and experience with us on the subject of essential oils. Please remember that you must take the time to study and understand the oils and their effect on YOUR body. Everyone has the potential to react differently to essential oils.

In this video, we are talking about the commonly asked questions... Can I have sex with my wife while she is pregnant? ► Support your wife with the best community and information available...
►►► Get your wife what she needs for an informed pregnancy, labor, and delivery - https://pearently.com
Sex during pregnancy is a thought that most men have very shortly after finding out that their wife is pregnant. I am right there with you man. When my wife became pregnant I was VERY curious if this meant NO MORE sex. Now, I will add, if you were having sex EVERYDAY before she got pregnant then you might be sad to know that it might tune back to 2 - 3 days per week... sorry Bro!
First and foremost, yes! You can have sex with your wife while she is pregnant. There is a mucus plug within the cervix that protects your new growing baby from any bacteria that might try to works its way up into babies new home, your wife
This is fantastic because this is what allows you to have sex with your wife while she is pregnant. Now, she may not want to have sex, and that is where the discussion between you are your wife must take place. Your wife is creating a human being inside of her. This takes a tremendous amount of energy and nutrient resources from your wife often leaving her tired and ill-feeling.
So, if you want to score some points see how you can serve her during pregnancy rather than always just asking to have sex.
There are some women, rare at that I will say, that have an increased sex drive during pregnancy. If your wife is one of those women then congrats, and enjoy the intimate time with your wife.
Now during the final weeks of your wife's pregnancy, she may read that having sex during the final weeks of pregnancy can help to induce labor. This has not been scientifically proven. But hey, if your wife is asking to have sex then, by all means, enjoy that time with her.
Now, what about after your wife gives birth to your new baby? Clinically it is required that you wait 6 weeks after your wife gives birth. She will go to a doctors visit 6 weeks after giving birth and get the all clear to have sex once again.
Do be sensitive to the doctor's approval to have sex. If your wife tore during delivery she may be nervous or fearful about having sex again. Make sure you talk about this and hear here out.
I hope this was helpful today!

Do I need a pap smear before I get pregnant? This is a very common question among women that is asked many times in most OB/GYN offices. ►►► Get the Power Pregnancy Workbook below...

Dr. Boyd takes a few moments to clear up this question.
The simple answer is no. IF you have had a pap smear in the past three years. The guidelines on whether you need to have a pap smear or you do not are every three years. That is assuming you have a normal (negative for abnormal cells) pap smear.
If you have had an abnormal pap smear and it has been more than one year. I would encourage you to see your health care provider and have a pap smear performed before you get pregnant.
The reason I would recommend this is if you were to have a procedure on your cervix because of an abnormal pap smear (or have a biopsy on your cervix because of an abnormal pap smear) we would want to perform those prior to pregnancy. Cervical procedures cause bleeding. As a patient that is pregnant, you do not want to have bleeding of your cervix while you are pregnant.
So, in the situation when you have had an abnormal pap smear in the past I would encourage you to get your pap smear again before you get pregnant.
Unfortunately, lots of women have STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) and they don’t even know they have STDs. If you have any concerns about STDs I would encourage you to have that evaluated prior to pregnancy as well. Chlamydia, for example, is a very common STD and we would want that to be evaluated.
Treating any STDs prior to pregnancy will decrease your risk of an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside of the uterus). So, if you have any concerns about STDs or any concerns about abnormal pap smear please see your healthcare provider before getting pregnant.

So when is the best time to get pregnant. Is there a best or worst time to get pregnant? ►►► Get the Power Pregnancy Workbook below...

Dr. Boyd, from Pearently, discusses a few key thoughts to consider when planning your pregnancy.
Women often ask if there is a best time of year to get pregnant? Perhaps you are wondering, “When is the best time to deliver my baby?”.
Honestly, there is no “Best Time” from a health standpoint for your baby. Any month or time of year is a great time to get pregnant. However, there are a few things I would like to discuss that may help you choose the best time for YOU to get pregnant!
ONE: Where Do You Live?
Consider the weather in your particular part of the country (If you are in the U.S.) or the world. If you live in the U.S., particularly in the midwest, the northwest or the northeast where you may have snow affect you at the time of delivery. Maybe it would not be best for you to get pregnant at the time when your due date would land within the winter months (December, January, and February).
Pregnancy is 40 weeks long, so if you are planning your pregnancy try to plan your due date at a good time of the year according to the weather in your part of the country/world.
TWO: Are You Stressed?
Stress is a huge issue for many women. If we could pour pixie dust over you and your stress would vanish we would do that for you in a heartbeat! But, we don’t. It is easier said than done trying to eliminate stress in your day and your life.
It is best to get pregnant with as little stress as possible. So start attempting to make changes in your life in order to reduce your stress before getting pregnant. You can exercise, eat healthier, care for your relationships (so they do not cause unneeded stress), reduce some expenses to help relieve any financial pressures… all of those can help decrease stress and improve the health of your pregnancy.
THREE: Are You At The Proper Weight?
Maintaining a healthy weight (BMI) when getting pregnant is important for the health of your baby and decrease the stress on your body when getting pregnant. Now, what is a healthy weight when getting pregnant?
We recommend a BMI (body mass index) less than 35 when getting pregnant. If you have a BMI that is 25 - 34 that places you in the normal weight group or the slightly obese group. Even though we prefer you to not be in the obese group. With a BMI of less than 35 MOST women don’t have problems getting pregnant or problems during pregnancy.
FOUR: How Is Your Diet?
Many Americans do not have a healthy diet. It is very difficult to turn over a new leaf tomorrow in order to get pregnant this week. One very helpful way to get started with a healthier diet is to decrease your sugar intake to less than 50 grams per day of added sugar will help decrease your BMI to less than 35.
FIVE: Prenatal Vitamins
Prenatal Vitamins are very important before conception. You can read a full post I have written about prenatal vitamins ( Click Here). Along with your prenatal vitamin, it is important to take 1mg of Folic Acid to make sure the baby has a decreased risk of neural tube defect.
In conclusion, there is no such thing as the perfect pregnancy or the perfect time to get pregnant. However, these are some guidelines for you to follow that will help you in decreases your overall stress and therefore being happier when you receive that news that you are pregnant!

Often, in my 25 years of practicing medicine as an OB/GYN, I found myself sitting face to face with a patient asking myself, “Am I caring for a patient that is a danger to herself?”. ► Get the Power Pregnancy Workbook below...
► ► ► Download the Power Pregnancy Workbook ( Click Here! )
Why would I ask such a question? Why would a woman be a danger to themselves in her pregnancy? Every pregnant woman wants the best for her and her baby, right?
Universally the answer would be yes! Most women want to do everything they can to have a safe and healthy pregnancy. Statistically women improve their general health and well being during pregnancy in hopes to have a healthy baby!
So, back to our original question. Are you a danger to yourself in your pregnancy.
Many women, in the hope of improving their health and the health of their baby, search the internet for information. This is where things begin to get dangerous. They start to read about other women’s experiences and recommendations. Some of this information is encouraging, helpful, and accurate. But I will warn you that MUCH of the information found may be encouraging and helpful, but it is often inaccurate!
This is exactly what inspired me and my team to start Pearently. At Pearently we have everything you need: answers, community, and belonging for pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
We strive to provide you with the absolute best information and community possible! Information that is encouraging, helpful and ACCURATE.

In this video, Dr. Boyd talks about the number of women that have come into his practice over the past 25 years. Many of these women were excited because they felt that had prepared very well for their pregnancy. They would share what they knew about their pregnancy and all the plans they had.
But the issue with many of their plans is that they were constructed from faulty information. If they were constructing a building it would have fallen over! :-/
So, carefully and kindly Dr. Boyd would walk through their plan and the misinformation they received. He would help them reconstruct their plan on correct information and prepare them to increase the chances of accomplishes the pregnancy, labor, and delivery they were aiming to accomplish.
Over the past few years, Dr. Boyd has realized that there is not enough time to help the number of women he desires to help in his career in a clinical setting. That is why Pearently was created! Team Pearently has brought together everything you need: answers, community, and belonging for pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

You are here because you are wondering, what are Braxton Hicks contractions like and better yet are you going to experience them or are you currently experiencing them? ► Learn more about Pearently below...
► ►►Join a community of women getting empowered in their pregnancy! Pearently gives you everything you need to face pregnancy, labor, and delivery safe in faith► https://pearently.com/
Braxton Hicks contractions were first coined in the 1800s by Dr. John Braxton Hicks. These contractions are also known as false labor. When you have a Braxton Hicks contraction it is going to feel very crampy, similar to a menstrual cramp. These contractions can last anywhere from 30 - 60 seconds. But note that the interval between these contractions is not going to be the same every time you experience one of these contractions.
So, you might have a 30-second contraction that is a little bit crampy and then in 5 minutes have another contraction. Then perhaps 20 minutes later you would have another contraction. Then all of a sudden they stop. At this point, you might even feel a little more cramping later in the day that lasts a few seconds and then goes away. Inconsistency is a key indicator for Braxton Hicks contractions.
Braxton Hicks contraction are not predictable, they are not frequent, and they are not painful. You are going to have some uncomfortable feelings but the pain should not increase. Braxton Hicks contractions can happen in your second trimester but they most often occur in the third trimester. Your body is practicing for labor. If you have never had a baby before your body needs to know how to gear up for that big day when true labor hits and you need to deliver your baby.
What can trigger Braxton Hicks Contractions?
1 Dehydration.
Your Uterus is a muscle so just like when you are dehydrated and your legs start to cramp a bit it can happen with your uterus as well. So if you start to feel Braxton Hicks contractions drink a lot of water.
We recommend you drink 100 ounces of water per day when you are pregnant. That is equal to roughly 12 glasses of water.
2 Intercourse
Another thing that can cause Braxton Hicks contractions is intercourse. When the man ejaculates that sperm has prostaglandins in it and those prostaglandins can cause your uterus to contract. So those Braxton Hicks contractions you are experiencing could be due to intercourse.
3 Activity
Activity is the third reason you could be having Braxton Hicks contractions. If you are exercising or doing a lot of walking you might have more Braxton Hicks contractions. Sit down, rest, take a bath, relax, and see if they go away.
So this is what Braxton Hicks contractions are like. If you want to know more about your pregnancy, labor, and delivery then click the link below.

My name is Annabelle, from Pearently, and I want to tell you that YOU CAN have a baby without an epidural! I am here to encourage you in your pursuits of a natural hospital birth! ► Learn more about Pearently by clicking the link below…

First things first. There is a lot of competition out there amongst women about their labor and delivery process. Today I want to come to you and say there is NO competition here, only encouragement. In my opinion, we women need to stick together and encourage each other because we are powerful women that get to carry and deliver life into this world.
And because of that we shouldn’t be scaring each other. We should be lifting each other up and saying, “You can do this! What you want to do with your labor and delivery process is your choice and I am going to say go for it! You’ve got this girl!”.
So, now I want to talk to you a little bit about my experience and how did my labor and delivery process.
I am a nurse and health expert. I come from a family with my Dad as an OB/GYN and my Mom as a Labor and Delivery Nurse for 10 years. I have/had a lot of information around me. During my pregnancy, this information was very helpful, but I still had fears. I was still very anxious because this was the first time I was going to have a baby.
I had grown this watermelon inside of me, and then it HIT ME! Oh my goodness, it has to COME OUT and there is NO going back.
With that in mind, I wanted to prepare. But I did not know EXACTLY how I was going to do it.
I started asking lots and lots of questions to my parents ESPECIALLY one month before my due date. I asked every question I could possibly think of and i asked if there were questions I wasn’t thinking of…and there were many!
I wanted to picture the process in my mind. I wanted to be prepared. I wanted to know how the contractions would feel. I wanted to know when the contractions would get stronger. When I needed to go to the hospital. What would happen when I got to the hospital?
On and on my questions tumble out in droves…
But let me tell you! The biggest decision I had to make was if I was going to get an epidural or if I was not going to get an epidural.
I said, “No, I do not want an epidural”.
The problem with that is people would ask me. I would tell them, “No, I am not going to have one”. Then, all of these “experienced” mothers would say, “Ok, Yeah! I didn’t want either but then when my contractions got to this point and I had labored for this many hours I said ‘I have to have one’ and I couldn’t deal with the pain anymore. So you will probably do the same thing”.
HONESTLY, I got a little tired of hearing all of these “horror stories” all of these moms that said to me, “You CAN’T do it” and that was defeating.
Until I met this ONE WOMAN. Who was about my age and had a son of her own. She asked me about my pregnancy. I started to tell her about my pregnancy and how I was planning on not having an epidural and I wanted to give birth naturally. I told her I was getting a lot of negative feedback and I was starting to become discouraged.
She stopped me before I could even finish and she said, “Ok, stop listening to all of that negative talk. This is a beautiful thing and you can do it. Of course, there is a ring of fire and it burns! But it is not as bad as everyone keeps telling you it is. And when you hold your baby it is worth it, you forget about it. Yeah, you are a little bit so
So you just found out you are going to have a little boy or a little girl and you want to know how you can best prepare to be a dad during pregnancy! Well, I have 5 tips for dads during pregnancy.
► Learn more about Pearently below!...
► ► ► Equip your wife for pregnancy, labor, and delivery with information, community, belonging I would recommend clicking the link below to check out Pearently! --- https://pearently.com
- Be Humble
The reason I say be humble is that there will be a lot of things that you are unsure about and a lot of questions you may have in the coming months. There were a lot of questions I had to go to my wife about because she is the woman, she is going through the different things, her body is changing… and so I needed to be humble. I needed to ask her, “how are you feeling today? It’s the first trimester, you aren't showing a bump yet, but still, your body is changing… are you feeling nauseated? Are you throwing up? How are you feeling?” Ask a lot of questions. Take time to be compassionate and caring in all parts of your wife’s pregnancy. While I am at work and she is at work I don’t know what is going on throughout the day, so it is key to be humble and inquire into her and her day.
- Be Involved
How can you “Be Involved”? There will be a numerous amount of prenatal visits that you should definitely be at. Maybe talk to your wife about the ones that are really close together and the doctor just comes in to say, “Hey, how are you doing? Did you pee today? How are you feeling? Great see ya next time!” and then the doctor is back out of the door in 5 minutes. Maybe those visits you wife is fine flying solo. My wife personally did not need me for those quick check-in visits, but the bigger visits I was definitely right there by her side. It was a great time to ask questions, learn, and be involved!
- Be Understanding
One of the biggest questions men have once their wife gets pregnant, “Can we still have intercourse?” The answer is yes. From a health standpoint, it is perfectly fine to have intercourse during pregnancy. There is a “Mucus Plug” that rests in the woman’s cervix that protects the baby from any bacteria that may try to work its way into the uterus. Because of this, you are safe and cleared to have intercourse during pregnancy. Now, it might be that as your wife gets closer to delivery that she may not want to have intercourse and so there is another aspect of being understanding. What are her preferences during this time? Is she feeling nauseated or if she is starting to have Braxton Hicks contractions she may not want to, etc…
- Be Willing
There may be a lot of things you are going to be called upon to do and it is much better to ask somebody to do something if on the other end of that ask is going to be a willing spirit. So, if you wife asks you, “Can you please practice these breathing techniques?”, you response ought to be, “Heck Yeah!” Your response should NOT be… “Uh, do I haaaave to… I don’t know, I’m gonna feel sooo duuumb! Like whaaat. I don’t wanna do that”. DON’T do THAT! Be excited. Be willing and available to help her with those breathing techniques. Because when push comes to shove (no pun intended) you are going to be in the hospital and she is going to need you as her Husband Hero (as I like to call it) to be the one to help her breath through all of those contractions. At the end of the pregnancy, labor, and delivery do you want her to look back and say “What a tool, he was not helpful” or do you want her to say, “Wow, he was so willing, he was there for every step of the way, and I am so grateful!”. You can be one of those two people. It is your choice.
- Be Praying
Be praying for you, your wife, and your child. And when I say your child I don’t mean just pray that the child
Dr. Marc Boyd answers a question many women have when getting pregnant. What is HCG Human Chronic Gonadotropin? ► Learn more about your pregnancy and Pearently by clicking the link below…
► ► ► Join a community of women getting empowered in their pregnancy! Pearently gives you everything you need to face pregnancy, labor, and delivery safe in faith. ► ► ► https://pearently.com/
HCG stands for Human Chronic Gonadotropin.
Now the question stands… what is HCG and why is it relevant to you as a pregnant woman.
After fertilization occurs (the sperm and the egg have come together. The sperm has fertilized the egg. The egg takes approximately 7 days to go down the Fallopian tube and embed itself into the uterus. At that point when it embeds itself into the uterus) at that point HCG is released from your uterine lining in the form of a blood hormone called Human Chronic Gonadotropin.
HCG is the hormone that is positive when you do your pregnancy test. So as HCG goes up and you dip a pregnancy strip in your urine it will give you the (+) sign for pregnancy indicating that you are pregnant! The pregnancy test has indicated an increased level of HCG.
The soonest you can identify HCG in your urine is around day 35 of your cycle. That is assuming that you become pregnant on the fourteenth day of your cycle and you counted forward another two weeks… at this point, you would have had your period, but you missed you missed it.
Typically around the time that you miss your period, you are unable to identify a positive urine pregnancy test using an HCG urine pregnancy test, so you may need to wait another week to test for positive pregnancy.
If you were to get a serum blood test (go into your healthcare providers office where they would draw blood from your arm) increased levels of HCG can be identified. That means before a urine pregnancy test can identify HCG the blood serum test is able to identify HCG.
A blood serum test can identify HCG in your blood as soon as 7 days after you have conceived. So, typically around day 21 to day 25 of your cycle a serum blood test can identify elevated levels of HCG which would indicate that you are in fact pregnant.
HCG is a good marker to identify if your pregnancy is going to be successful. It also identifies whether your pregnancy is in your uterus or in your Fallopian tube. I mentioned earlier that HCG is typically released from your uterus. But there is also a small quantity that can be released from your Fallopian tube if the egg implanted in your Fallopian tube. HCG can be released from the Fallopian tube because you have what is called a pseudo gestational sac in your uterus. That means a false pregnancy site in your uterus, but in fact, the actual pregnancy is in your Fallopian tube.
The HCG does not increase as high as it should in that scenario and this can be an indicator of an extra-uterine pregnancy. The HCG is also used in a normal intrauterine pregnancy pregnancy not appear to be developing in a normal fashion. In other words, the baby has died early in the gestational period. This is indicated by the HCG NOT increasing like it normally would during a successful healthy pregnancy.
What is a Normal HCG Elevation?
After the baby begins to grow in the uterus (typically) the HCG doubles approximately every 48 hours. So if you go into your healthcare provider’s 3 - 4 weeks after conception occurred we will measure your HCG levels. Occasionally your healthcare provider will have you come back within 48 hours after measuring your HCG levels to confirm that your levels are doubling So if it is 1000 when you are checked the first visit the level should have increased to 2000 48 hours later.
This is a good indicator that you have an intrauterine pregnancy and that pregnancy is growing appropriately. As the HCG continues to elevate often times

If you just found out you are pregnant and it was unplanned don’t be alarmed. 50% of pregnancy’s in America are unplanned. You are NOT alone your situation. Now that you found out you are pregnant it is time to take a few steps in order to have the best pregnancy possible!
My name is Dr. Marc Boyd, I am a board-certified OB/GYN, I have been in practice for over 25 years, and I have a passion for helping equip women with the knowledge, support, and community they need to have an empowered pregnancy.
That is why I started Pearenty. Pregnant women often face a ton of information and they don’t know what source to just and where to find belonging. Pearently is that place of knowledge, community, and belonging. Click Here to learn more!
I did not want you to miss the opportunity to get the support you need in your pregnancy.
FIRST things first! Are you pregnant?
I know this may sound silly but you would not believe how many women showed up at my office thinking they were pregnant and it turns out they were not.
How does this happen? Well, many women miss their period and immediately assume that they are pregnant. So, the first step I always tell women to take is to get a pregnancy test and confirm they are in fact pregnant.
The best time to take a pregnancy test is early in the morning when you first wake up. When you first wake up your urine will have the most hormones in it and it will give you the most accurate result.
TWO: Start a Prenatal Vitamin
At Pearently we recommend two prenatal vitamins

These prenatal vitamins have what you need for a healthy pregnancy. If you want to learn more about prenatal vitamins you can watch or read the post about prenatal vitamins.

Another important supplement to take is Folic Acid. Taking 1 mg of folic acid will help decrease your babies risk of being born with a Neural Tube Defect.
THREE: Calculate Your Gestational Age
It is important to establish your dating. When you visit your doctor for your first prenatal visit this is an important question they will ask you in order to plan your due date.
In order to establish your dating look back and find out what the first day of your last period was. Counting from that date to now will give you your gestational age. As an example, if the first day of your last period was March 1st and now it is the middle of April you would be approximately six weeks pregnant.
FOUR: Call your healthcare providers office to establish who you will see and when you can schedule your first prenatal visit.
We have a video inside of Pearently that will help you establish how to make an informed decision when picking your provider for your pregnancy.

Currently, there seems to be this great divide between natural birth gurus and healthcare providers emphasizing the importance of giving birth in a hospital. At Pearently we want to walk you through some key details about why giving birth naturally AT the hospital could be the safest and best experience for you!
So let’s look at the best tips and reasons with a natural birth at the hospital is so important to happy and healthy labor and delivery.
-
Get in the mindset to have a natural birth. You have to be strong because hospitals like interventions. Know that it is your job to know what you want and stick to it.
-
Decide now and decide to prepare your mind and body for that experience, but be flexible. Take whatever comes your way. Things might change once you get to the hospital: if there is an emergency for you or baby. Read about WHY you want to do what you do so that NO ONE can convince you out of it. And stay away from those naysayers. Get positive feedback from mamas who have walked the road before you.
-
Talk about it. Talk to your husband about your plan, talk to your doctor about your plan, talk to the nurse about your plan, and talk to experienced moms. Get all of your emotions out in the open. Talk about it so that you stick to it.
-
Research your hospital's do’s and don'ts so you know what you can do. What does the hospital do: C-section rate, restrictions, position changes, birthing ball, skin to skin, and breastfeeding? Find a hospital that aligns with what you want, and talk to your healthcare provider about delivering there. Maybe find a hospital with a birthing center.
-
Take a class! This is where Pearently would love to help. We have everything you need to be prepared: answers, community, and belonging for a Christ-centered pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
-
Stay at home for as long as possible. Stay at home through the early and active phase of labor. Once your contractions are 60 seconds long, and 3 to 5 minutes apart and your cervix dilates from 3 cm to 7 cm, then you are in the active phase of labor. This phase can take up to 6 hours. Go to the hospital towards the end of this phase. Then recreate a calm atmosphere at the hospital so that labor continues to progress.

Yep, this is the Best Dr. Recommended Prenatal Vitamins video/post that many of you have asked for…
First a little about me. I am a board-certified OB/GYN. I have been in practice for over 25 years and now I am doubling down on my desire to help women become empowered in their pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
“What prenatal vitamins should I take?” This is a question I have received many times over the past 25 years and I am excited to cover this topic because it is of great importance to be taking vitamins as early as possible in your pregnancy. Honestly, you SHOULD be taking vitamins before you conceive. This will make sure you have the right nutrients in your body as your baby is developing.
With 50% of the pregnancies in America being unplanned there is a large number of women who show up at my office with this question having already reach 4 - 6 weeks into their pregnancy. This is not optimal and I encourage YOU to plan your pregnancy.
If you are one of the women in America with an unplanned pregnancy, (NOT unwanted, just unplanned) then I am glad you are here to watch this video or read this article.
There are five KEY ingredients in a prenatal vitamin. There are many other ingredients in prenatal vitamins, but these 5 are the main ones you want to make sure are in your prenatal. Later in this post, I will recommend to you my favorite prenatal vitamins.
ONE: Folic Acid / Folate
The amount of Folic Acid, also known as Folate, that is recommended is 400 - 800 mcg (micrograms). Folic Acid is important in the development of the babies brain and spinal system. It is very important to take this prior to conception if possible.
TWO: Iodine
Iodine needs to be taken in the amount of 150 mcg (micrograms) on a daily basis. Iodine is also important in the babies brain development as well as the mother later in pregnancy. As a woman develops in her pregnancy she will have increased stress on her thyroid gland (the gland in your neck). If not enough iodine is consumed then the thyroid gland cannot function and this puts women at an increased risk for preterm labor, miscarriage, and still-birth (babies dying inside of the mom).
THREE: Choline
Choline needs to be consumed in the amount of 400 - 450 mcg (micrograms) on a daily basis. Choline can be found in many of the foods you eat like eggs, liver, legumes, etc…. But often times women don’t get enough choline from their foods and they need a prenatal vitamin to supplement the missing choline.
FOUR: Vitamin D
A lot of times women that live north of the Mason-Dixon line in the united states don’t get enough sun in their daily activity. Sun is very important when it comes to Vitamin D absorption in the body. You need to be taking around 1000 - 4000 IUs (international units) per day.
FIVE: Iron
Iron is very important in your blood transferring oxygen to your body. It is recommended to take 20 - 30 mg (milligrams) per day.
Those five items are very important to consume on a daily basis. I have identified one prenatal vitamin that is very good. It is called MegaFood Baby and Me. This prenatal vitamin has all of the elements we discussed except it does not have quite enough Choline it has 300 mcg of Choline per daily serving.
So, how d
Can I labor without an epidural? This is a question I hear quite a bit. I am here to tell you that YES! You Can! I want to share how to make your dream of a natural birth a reality!
► ► ► Get plugged into the Pearently family where you can get the encouragement you need during your pregnancy, labor, and delivery. --- https://pearently.lpages.co/annabelles-story/
First I want to start by saying there is no competition here, ONLY encouragement.
Perhaps you have decided to not have an epidural. I am so excited for you! The natural birth process without pain medicine is a beautiful process. The pain. The hard work. Is part of what really helps you connect with your newborn baby.
But maybe you are questioning yourself. You are thinking. Can I labor without an epidural?
I want you to image the two of you have just gone through this hard, long, and incredible journey. Now you are on the other side of that mountain celebrating your natural birth victory!
It takes power and preparation.
So, I personally would love to (well, I am going to) encourage you on this journey to having a natural birth. With 80% of our population of women delivering having an epidural I know it is a hard decision because when you go out and talk to other women they are not supportive.
There are not a lot of women encouraging you to have a delivery without an epidural.
And I am going to tell you a little bit about my journey to natural birth because you know what?...
I had A LOT of women telling me that I COULD NOT do it without an epidural. They would tell me that I might think that I want to do it, but when I get to that point I will get weak and give in.
And that was HARD for me because I knew I WANTED to give birth without an epidural. I knew I was made to deliver a baby and women all over the world for thousands of years have been doing it without an epidural.
Then I met one woman!
She asked me about my pregnancy, and I started to explain to her about my desire to deliver a baby without an epidural and with no pain relief.
She looked at me… and she was about my age and had a little boy of her own.
She said…
“Honey, You can DO THIS!
It is a beautiful thing.
Of course, there is a RING OF FIRE, and it burns, and it hurts!
But it’s not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
I have heard so many horror stories about delivers but my delivery was so beautiful and the pain made it all the more fulfilling and exciting to hold my baby after the delivery.”
Then the SECOND thing I want to encourage you with....
I watched a movie one month before my delivery. That movie was Mama Mia 2!
That movie came out the summer I delivered and I went to see the movie with my husband. There is this scene where the main character (Donna) is delivering her baby she is on this island in Greece and there is nobody around.
She is living in this little farmhouse…
the music is playing… she is laboring… she is sweating…
She pushes and she has her delivery and it is just SO BEAUTIFUL!
I walked out of the movie theater and I said to my husband…
“If she can do it in the middle of an island in Greece with nobody around and nobody’s support. Then I can do it without an epidural in an actual hospital with support!”
I tell you this story because I want to encourage you to find your story. Something that can help you get through your labor and delivery without an epidural

A number of women will develop a Placenta Previa during their pregnancy and they often wonder if having a Placenta Previa is a bad thing?
YES, it is bad. But let me preface what I mean by that.
As your placenta grows we like it to grow on either the front side, back side or top side. Front-sided is called Anterior placenta, back-sided is called a Posterior placenta, and top-sided is called a Fundal placenta.
When the placenta is in a Placenta Previa position it is overlying the cervix and birth canal. If the placenta is in that position at term than the baby would have to go through that placenta to deliver. This is why a Placenta Previa is concerning.
Often times when you have had your second-trimester ultrasound, which is performed around 20 weeks gestation, that your placenta may be low lying or it may be completely covering your cervix.
What does “Low Lying” mean?
The placenta is in a position down by the cervical opening (that is part of the birth canal).
Or it could mean that it completely overlies the Cervical Os.
Now as you move forward towards your due date: 24, 28, 32 weeks, etc… your Dr. should perform a follow-up ultrasound to check if the placenta has migrated up and away from the cervix. A great majority of placentas migrate up into the uterine cavity as women approach their due date.
If we fast-forward to 36 weeks 96% of all placentas have migrated up and away from the Cervical Os. That means only 4% are affected at that point.
If we fast-forward another 4 weeks and go all the way to term 98% of placentas have migrated up out of the way of the cervix to allow for a vaginal delivery.
That means the total amount of patients that are affected ends up being roughly 2% or less.
Even in those cases, there are some patients who have a low lying placenta and their baby is still able to deliver successfully and without endangering the mama or baby.
However, at the point of full term (40 weeks gestational age) if the placenta still overlies the Cervical Os, known as a Placenta Previa, your health care provider will often recommend a Caesarean section. This is for your safety and the safety of your baby.
A very important question to address. I encourage you to talk with your health care provider if you are diagnosed with a Placenta Previa.

We are going to discuss three possible causes of mid-cycle spotting.
The first is Ovulation bleeding
This happens in a small number of women. It is usually associated mid-cycle and it can have some lower uterine cramping and discomfort when you bleed.
The second possible cause is Implantation Bleeding
This usually occurs 3 - 7 days after ovulation. This happens when the fertilized egg starts to borrow itself into the uterine cavity to create the environment for a developing baby.
The third is simply an early Menstrual Bleed
Now, it is important to know. Even if you have been “regular” your entire life with 28-day cycles, for example. But you find yourself bleeding on day 25 this would be abnormal for you and it could simply mean an early menstrual cycle.
If you came to this post concerned about your bleeding because you are attempting to get pregnant…
we want to give you our free guide to help you markedly increase your chances of getting pregnant.
This guide will walk you through each step of the process to get pregnant.

So let’s get into the topic for today. What is the best time to have sex to increase my chances of getting pregnant?
In order to understand how to time getting pregnant, we first need to determine to factors.
When is your period?
When will you ovulate as it relates to your period?
If we can answer these two question we have a far better chance of determining the best time to have sex to get pregnant.
Let’s first determine your period (menstrual cycle). Day one of your period is the first day you see ANY blood. That could be spotting or a steady flow of blood.
Now, for the purpose of helping you understand ovulation as it relates to a period we are going to use the example of a woman that has a 28-day cycle. That means from the first day of her period to the next day of her period is 28-day interval.
In that specific woman, she will ovulate around day 14. Now, that is a VERY specific day, and NO woman will follow that pattern every single month so we must establish an estimated date range to increase your chances of getting pregnant when you ovulate.
We need to establish what is called an ovulatory period. This means that during a certain time-frame a woman may ovulate. So how do we determine this ovulatory period?
Take day 14 of a 28-day cycle and subtract 7 days and add 7 days. That means the ovulatory period of a woman with a 28-day cycle is day 7 - day 21.
So, now what is the game plan for having sex to get pregnant? Well, you look at your calendar and get together with your husband every 48 hours from day 7 to day 21.
You can download our free guide, 3 Step Guide to Getting Pregnant and we will walk you through exactly how to calculate your own ovulatory period!
If you follow this guide you will markedly increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Now, I want to say that if you have just started trying to get pregnant over the past few months and have been unsuccessful do not be discouraged. It can take some women up to 12 months to get pregnant and you are not considered to have difficulty getting pregnant until 12 months.
On average it takes most women 3 - 6 months to get pregnant.
I hope this was helpful, and we will talk on the next post!

In this video, we want to go over the top 5 drinks for a healthy pregnancy. There are a lot of drinks you should and should not be drinking while you are pregnant so we put this video together to help you out, mama! ⏩ Click the link below to learn more...
How can Pearently help you in your pregnancy?
Click to find out... https://pearently.lpages.co/annabelles-story/
So you’re pregnant!
You are thirsty and you need something to drink. What are the best drinks that you should drink when you are pregnant. Choosing a drink for you and your baby is important. You want to pick a drink with good health benefits, and ORganic is a must in our opinion.
how do you pick the right drink when you are pregnant. Let's dive in and help you with your drink selection.
We here at Pearently recommend 5 drinks for you to enjoy while you are going through your pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
ONE: Water
What is very important in life, but especially when you are pregnant. You lose water simply by talking. If you go outside and sweat you are loosing even MORE water.
We sweat a lot when we go outside living in Florida.
So it is good to replenish that water supply! Think about it. You are pregnant and your baby is swimming around in a little pool full of water. We don’t want that pool to lose water, because an empty pool is a PARTY FOUL!
Ok, great you need more water, but how much water? We recommend at least 100 Oz. of water per day. That is about the equivalent of 12 glasses of water per day.
Perhaps you don’t like drinking water… Well then, JAZZ it up with some lemon, lime, cucumber, or strawberries to give it that little kick of flavor to enjoy your 12 glasses per day.
What if you are THROWING UP like crazy?...what should you be drinking?
TWO: Coconut Water
Lots of electro lights in coconut water. Feel like you are at the BEACH or something.
We want to make sure you are replacing your calcium, sodium, phosphorus, and magnesium. All of those little micronutrients that are so important when you are growing a little bundle of joy inside of you.
But what if you dont like coconut water (Whisper: Cause I really don’t like coconut water).
THREE: NOOMA
Nooma has coconut water in it but it also has other organic ingredients to make that coconut water more enjoyable for you to get the nutrients you NEED!
Nooma has no added sugar, which is a plus because a lot of the sports drinks have a TON of added sugar, which is NOT good. We are trying to avoid gestational diabetes, not increase the chances of getting it.
FOUR: Roar!
Not the song by Katy Perry, the DRINK!
Roar is another Organic with a lot of electrolytes and very little sugar! Did I mention it is ORGANIC…. BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ. Gotta get that Organic life!
In all seriousness, your baby is growing from the nutrients you put in your body so we here at Pearently encourage moms to grow Organic babies! ;) What you consume is what your baby is being fueled with as he/she grows within you.
FIVE: Bone Broth!
EHHH OHHH…. Ok, what’s bone broth…
Well, it is kinda like chicken broth or beef broth but it is made from the bones of animals.
Now, if you are a vegetarian then this is off limits to you, but if you are a carnivore like myself and others then this is a great way to resupply your body with the nutrients you need.
One HUGE bonus to bone broth is it helps with nausea.
Bone broth
Throughout the past 25 years, many women have asked me what is implantation bleeding or spotting? It is a common question when women are trying to get pregnant, so I want to address it in this video. ⏩ Download the free 3 Step Guide to Getting Pregnant below!

Implantation bleeding occurs three to seven days after conception (some research also indicates three to twelve days). The fertilized egg is in the Fallopian tube where conception occurs. The process of the division of that egg allows it to move down the Fallopian tube and eventually end up in the uterus.
As the fertilized egg starts the process of burrowing itself into the uterine cavity it can cause bleeding to occur. In relation to your ovulation, this can occur anywhere from three days after conception all the way up to twelve days after conception. However, this bleeding could be signs of an early menstrual cycle.
The big question that women have, “Is implantation bleeding a concern?”. The answer is universally, no. Now, that does not mean that you don’t have something wrong with your baby that could potentially cause a miscarriage. But implantation bleeding itself is not a concern.
We have a free guide that will help you establish your dates so that you can maximize your efforts at becoming pregnant and understanding your ovulation better!

The answer to this question is VERY simple, but achieving the result can sometimes prove rather complex. How many days after your period can you get pregnant? Theoretically, you can get pregnant the next day, or the next, or maybe the next after that, or even twelve days after that…
Ok, I don’t mean to egg you on (no pun intended) but what I am trying to show you is that it is NOT a perfect science. However, I am going to walk you through a plan, and if you follow this plan you will significantly increase your chances of getting pregnant!
We are going to set up two scenarios to help you better understand the process of ovulation and give you some insight into the optimal time to get pregnant after your period.
We are going to look at a woman that has a twenty-one-day cycle and a woman that has a twenty-eight-day cycle. We are going to then compare those two women as it relates to when you ovulate after your menstrual cycle (your period).
First, it is important to identify what a menstrual cycle is… A menstrual cycle is a bleed. It means that you did not get pregnant and you are passing the tissue from your previous cycle. The first day that you see any blood, that is called day one.
You count from that point to the beginning of your next cycle and that is called your intermenstrual cycle. Intermenstrual cycles on most when are twenty-one days to thirty-five days. So from the beginning of one cycle to the beginning of the next cycle. If that time frame is twenty-one days, twenty-eight days, thirty-five days, etc… that is defined as “normal”.
As a woman typically you follow the same pattern. If your cycles are all over the place (twenty-one days, to forty-eight days, back down to twenty-four days, etc…) Typically in that woman, you would not be ovulating. In that scenario, we would encourage you to get with your health care provider to decide if you want to have normal cycles and what you can do to remedy your inconsistent cycles.....

When Does Implantation Occur After Conception? We have received many inquiries regarding the question of implantation and conception so in this video/post we will be addressing this topic to help you better understand the process of implantation. ⏩ Download the free 3 Step Guide to Getting Pregnant below!
► Click the link below to get the 3 Step Guide to Getting Pregnant!
( https://pearently.lpages.co/get-pregnancy-guide/ )
Implantation occurs in the uterus. Conception occurs in the Fallopian tube. The Fallopian tube is a connection, a tube, at the top of the uterus. There two Fallopian tubes. There is a right Fallopian tube and a left Fallopian tube.
After a couple has intercourse the sperm swim up into the uterus enter the Fallopian tube and that is where they meet the egg and that is where conception occurs. Most of the time it is in the mid portion of the Fallopian tube.
When a single sperm penetrates an egg that is when fertilization occurs. At that point, pregnancy is defined biologically. Now, that new pregnancy starts to divide. As it divides it moves its way down the Fallopian tube and enters the uterus anywhere from day 3, after conception, all the way until day 10. At that point, the new pregnancy is in the uterus, but it has yet to burrow itself into the uterus to create the placenta. The process of burrowing is called the implantation.
The process of burrowing occurs anywhere from 3 days to 12 days after conception occurs.

Many questions arise concerning when the optimal time to get pregnant. How do you relate your period to your ovulation? That is what we are going to discuss today. This specific question has been answered in a few different ways.
- How to get pregnant after my period
- Getting Pregnant After Period
- Getting Pregnant After My Period
- When to get pregnant after period
In order to understand how to get pregnant after a period, we are going to use a 28-day period/cycle to explain. The first day of your period is called day one. Ok, well how do you define the first day? Is it the day you are bleeding heavy or is it when you see any spotting at all? The answer to this question is the day you begin to see any blood at all is the day we consider the first day of your period.
On a 28-day cycle optimally ovulation will take place on day 14. So, day 1 is the first day you see blood and then you count ahead to day 14. That is around the time you will ovulate. But, that is too specific, so we are going to help you by generalizing this process. We are going to give you what is called an ovulatory period. Ovulation occurs on day-14 on this 28-day cycle. If you subtract 7 days from 14 days that is day 7 of your cycle. Then add 7 days to day 14 and that is day 21 of your cycle. So, you ovulatory period on a 28-day cycle would be around day 7 - day 21.
Now, what you say to your husband is that you need to get together on day 7 of your ovulatory period and have intercourse every 48 hours from day 7 to day 21. If you do this you should increase your chances of getting pregnant dramatically. When the average couple follows these guidelines they tend to get pregnant within 3 - 6 months. However, it is possible to get pregnant in your first month. Be prepared for that possibility. It is important to note that statistically, it could take up to 12 months to get pregnant.
If you follow this guideline you will markedly increase your chances of getting pregnant.

I want to answerer a few questions with this video that we have found are getting a lot of women confused on how to determine when they are ovulating and when the best time to have sex is during their ovulatory period.
-
When am I ovulating?
-
How do I know when I am ovulating?
-
How to determine when I am ovulating?
-
How do I know when my ovulating occurs?
-
Am I Ovulating?
-
When do you ovulate each month?
-
When does ovulation occur each month?
The above questions are but a few that we help establish the context of this video/post.
Determining when you are ovulating is crucial if you are trying to get pregnant. Having sex during your ovulatory period is the best way to maximize your chances of getting pregnant.
We are going to discuss the clinical and the urine ovulating predictor tests in order to help you understand when you are ovulating. Most importantly we are going to discuss how you can calculate when you may be ovulating according to your monthly period/cycle.
Anyone can purchase an ovulation predictor kit. How does the kit work? What you will do with an ovulation predictor kit is sample your first urine when you wake up in the morning and based on the hormones in your urine the test will begin to change colors, very similar to a urine pregnancy test.
►►► Ovulating Predictor Kit ( https://amzn.to/2t0vjjm )
Around the time of ovulation, it will turn a specific color indicating that you are in fact ovulating or you are near your ovulatory time period. This issue with these tests is that they are expensive and many women do not want to have that expense.
Now, let's discuss the clinical approach to understand if you are ovulating.
- Determine the length of your cycle
We have created the free "Getting Pregnant Guide" to help you determine your ovulatory period ►►► ( https://pearently.lpages.co/get-pregnancy-guide/ ). By using this guide you will be able to determine your time of ovulation with greater ease.
For example sake, we are going to use a 28-day cycle to explain the ovulatory cycle to help you understand the process of ovulation...
You must begin by counting from day one. That is the day you see any amount of blood. That means it could be a heavy flow or just a few spots. That determines day one of your period.
Now, you want to count forward X amount of days. for our example, a woman would have begun her bleeding and then 28 days later she would begin her bleeding once again. That means she is on a 28-day cycle. (Note: make sure you count your cycle for 2 - 3 months to confirm the consistency of your period cycle).
Ok, now how do we determine when you will be ovulating?
Many people determine ovulation by counting forward from the day you begin your period. However, we believe that it is far more effective to count backward. So, if you have a 28-day cycle you need to subtract 14 days.
When you think about a bell-shaped curve you are going to ovulate on the front side of the curve or the back side.
Now you need to subtract 7 days from the 14 days you already subtracted and add 7 days to the 14 days subtracted from 28. That means that your ovulatory period is from day 7 - 21! Now, what to do with that time frame of ovulation.
You need to say to your husband or partner, "We are going to get together and have intercourse on an every 48-hour schedule from day 7 to day 21". If you do t
