Week 15: What to Expect During Your Pregnancy + Gina's Pregnancy Journey!

Gina is happy to report an uneventful Week 15, enjoying the “Honeymoon Phase” of pregnancy that is the second trimester! Baby's about the size of an avocado… or a ring pop?! Roxanne describes developmental milestones like hearing, joint development, and practicing that sucking mechanic to prepare for eating outside of the womb. Genetic screening options offered during this time are also explained, with some insight on choosing a birth facility based on potential baby care needs. Pregnancy symptoms may include increased libido, indigestion, and an increased appetite due to relief from previous food aversions. Gina and Roxanne offer resources for prenatal nutrition, highlighting the importance of understanding “safe” foods during pregnancy with up-to-date research and statistics to empower your choices (links below!). Additionally, personal skincare and exercise routines are shared! ------ 00:00 Introduction 00:39 Baby's Growth and Development in Week 15 01:40 Understanding Genetic Screening Options 02:16 Changes and Symptoms in Your Body During Week 15 03:01 Navigating Genetic Screening Decisions 04:26 Diet and Nutrition Tips for Pregnancy 05:35 Managing Pregnancy Symptoms and Self-Care Tips 08:09 Personal Pregnancy Experience and Workout Goals 09:57 Closing Thoughts and Invitation to Connect —— Comment below to share your journey with us!! —— Links to items mentioned in this video: Primally Pure: https://link.primallypure.com/mamastefit Code: MAMASTEFIT Check out the Prenatal Nutrition Library here: https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibra...
