Wilder’s Birth Story- A Natural Labor & Delivery

Today I’m sharing all the details from my second natural labor and birth story. The arrival of surprsie gender Wilder is one to remember.

It’s a boy!

My second gender surprise baby is finally here and we couldn’t be more grateful for HIS safe and beautiful arrival.

It’s important to keep stress levels at bay but especially during pregnancy. Today, I’m sharing 5 tips on ways that you can relax.

With less than a month left in my pregnancy I am feeling the effects of stress and anxiety hit me harder than it has in quite a while. Trying to relax has never been my strong suit and in moments of intense worry I typically do quite the opposite.

In previous pregnancies I also remember feeling moments of anxiety but they seem so miniscule now that I think about it. There was never once a time where I imagined the possibility of giving birth along. I never worried about quarantine messing up childcare or spending my last few weeks waiting and wondering for what seems to be inevitable.

Covid has made these last couple of years complicated and despite doing my best to pretend that everything is okay, still in the back of my mind I
