Are you thinking about having a baby, or maybe you're already pregnant? As a mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to worry about your child's health and development. That's why I'm diving into the crucial topic of how our health before and during pregnancy impacts our baby's brain development. I discuss why understanding your own health is so important before conceiving, including things you might not think about like stress levels, past illnesses, and even environmental toxins. I explain how all of these can affect your developing baby and why planning for pregnancy, when possible, can make such a big difference.
But don't worry if you're already pregnant or have recently had a baby - I've got you covered too! I offer hope and practical advice for supporting your baby's brain, no matter where you are in your journey. We talk about the power of positive thinking, the benefits of staying active during pregnancy, and simple things you can do to support your baby's development, like talking to them. Whether you're just starting to plan for a family or you're looking back on your pregnancy with questions, I'm here to offer insights that can help both you and your child thrive.
