Episode 13: Go Get Checked When You Need To

Still Hopeful

Hi mamas!
Today's episode was a hard one to record...I talk about the importance of going in to get checked at the hospital during our PAL journeys. Going in to get monitored is hard: it's triggering, and it involves a lot of layers. BUT, it's how we can parent our baby right now. We monitor their movements (I use the Count the Kicks app) and we promise ourselves to go in ANYTIME baby's movements are out of their normal pattern (whether that means way too little movement, way more than usual, change in strength, all of that). We're not wasting anyone's time by going in. Let's go in, as many times as we need to during PAL to help make sure baby is A-okay.
I also talk about previous interviews from the podcast to listen to if you haven't already:
