Week 1

Did you know that pregnancy is measured by your entire monthly cycle? Meaning the first week is after your period, when you enter your fertile window, as the egg begins to drop for fertilization. So even though you technically aren’t pregnant yet, the countdown starts now!

Week 2

Each month, your body prepares for fertilization by dropping one egg (sometimes more – that’s where multiples can come into play!) down the fallopian tubes toward your uterus. This journey is underway in week 2!

Week 3

Your baby has made it to your uterus! However, it is too early to detect your pregnancy via a home pregnancy test at this point. You will have to wait another week or two for hormone levels to be high enough to measure from a home test.

Exploring Different Types of Yoga and Finding Ashtanga

Exploring Different Types of Yoga and Finding Ashtanga

I love the structure of this style of yoga. I love that it set me up for a home practice where I can work on the series on my own, at my own pace, and in my own headspace. That’s the best part, that this journey is really between you and yourself and your God. There’s something different about using the will to get on the may at home, at 7 in the morning, with no one pushing you, motivating you, or leading you.
