About this episode

In this episode, Jaymee shares her experiences and reflections on her second trimester of pregnancy.

Welcome back to my Pregnancy Series. In this solo episode, I share a full update on my second trimester — and honestly, I think this might end up being my favourite trimester of the three! In this chat, I covered: → Commonly asked questions about finding out the gender, baby names, a nursery update and what we had bought so far. → My trimester 2 experience — what shifted after trimester 1, symptoms that eased, new ones that appeared, and why I now understand why so many women say trimester 2 is the “best” one. → Travelling during pregnancy: our road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide (and back). → How I am adjusting my nutrition, supplements, training during this phase — especially as the bump grows and energy requirements increase. I also share a book that I’ve found incredibly valuable to read — Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols https://lilynicholsrdn.com/real-food-for-pregnancy/ This episode is my honest reflection on the middle phase of pregnancy. It’s a reminder for my future self, as well as the listeners, that pregnancy and it’s symptoms are fleeting, and that prioritising your own health matters more than having a “perfect” nursery. 💌 Got a question, comment, or tip…
