## Resource

Hi my favs!! As I sit here writing this, It’s 1am and I’m suffering from pregnancy insomnia but I’m still SO exhausted. :) This episode is some much-needed one on one time, where I answer alllllll your AMA questions about pregnancy and IVF. We touch base on my current physical and mental state at a whopping 36 weeks pregnant, and sometimes you just need a good pregnancy cry (I didn’t in this episode, don’t worry). Am I scared to give birth? Excited? A lot of both?? We also go through my baby registry big ticket items (Like did I really need to get the artipoppe? Absolutely not but I’m delusional at this point!) We of course spend some time recapping my IVF journey and I do my best to give a little hope to anyone who might be going through it. <3 Hope you love this!! We have so many fun episodes coming up for you, so as always, stay tuned!! Xoxo Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
