Pregnant! Now what???
Since getting pregnant, I have gotten lost trying to navigate this crazy world! I decided to compile a list of services that I am using so far along my journey to help you in finding your way.
Here are a list of resources, & support to help you if you are either on this journey OR if you are thinking about it! I am constantly adding to this list so keep checking back!
Midwifery
It was important for us from the beginning to find a midwife team that would be able to care for our needs & ultimately provide the best care for the baby. We settled on Strathcona Midwifery Collective in East Vancouver based on a few referrals & recommendations.
Fitness
I am still sourcing out a good athletic prenatal program (let me know if you got one in Vancouver!) but here are a few things I am currently doing:
Katie Crew Maternity Program – I have been doing the gym program 3 days a week in addition to whatever else I have going on. The program also gives you a home program as well and its $99 for lifetime access!
Zack Fitness Personal Training – I have been training with Zack since 2019 and see him 1:1 one day per week. He offers online classes as well every morning and is guaranteed to make you move!
Pilates Process Vancouver – Great classes and 1:1 attention!
Mama Method Pilates – I am currently working through the Prenatal Basics program and find it a great way to keep myself inspired & aligned.
Physiotherapy, Accupuncture & Chiro
I see the amazing doctors at Chiro Culture in East Van – they are VERY experienced with pregnancy & post-natal clients and even treat your babies & dogs!
The Cheerful Pelvis – a MUST for women in all ages of life!
The Village Acupuncture – a soothing clinic that helps rebalance, calm & nurture. Women owned & run.
Clothing
At time of writing I am still squeezing into my clothes but I have bought a few things! This will change for sure as the weeks roll by – feel free to message me with your fave spots to get clothing!
Blanqi – often feature great sales!
Skin Care
I went back to Paula’s Choice & followed their pregnancy recommendations for skin care! Here are their list of must-haves!
Please feel free to email me to tell me about YOUR fave place, service or resource you used while pregnant!
