And I'd just like to hear more about your story with your pregnancies, your marriage, and where you're at now.
I guess we could start with your first pregnancy.
I got married in two, well, I'm divorced now, but just kind of give some history. I got married in 2018. And then like a few months after I got pregnant with my first, Grayson, he's five years old now. I had a very easy pregnancy. It took me just a few months to get pregnant after trying. Everything was really healthy. At that point in my life, I was moving, lifting every once in a while, but it had not become like a consistent thing. daily habit of my life. Were you fit before you got pregnant? So I was a runner, but like I wasn't intentional. I didn't have as much education as I do now. It was not a passion. Yeah. You know, my parents ran marathons. They did CrossFit. So it was kind of ingrained within me throughout my childhood.
But I was in the arts. I was a dancer. So I was never in like a team sport. So I didn't really like have that athletic just like passion built within me. But like I was active, you know, but obviously like did not like track my protein and like be intentional with like following a workout program. I just was just trying to be healthy day to day with little things. And so the whole pregnancy, I felt really good. I made sure to get my steps in, did not lift really, but just try to be healthy. I didn't have like any issues. It was very like easy pregnancy and the delivery was a hospital birth. Very different than my second, which we can talk about. Home birth, right? Yeah. So my second was a home birth. My first.
So I'm sure some listeners maybe who have been pregnant or work in this field know what like sweeping the membranes is.
