010: The Third Trimester
10/14/20 • 42 min
The third trimester was busy, uncomfortable, and full of surprises.
But it also had us both so excited and on the edge of our seat to meet our little babe. We were as prepared as we could possibly be and were so ready for the birth even though we didn't know when, where, or how it would all turn out.
In this episode, Jesse and I get into our unique eco baby shower, preventing constipation, (lack of) sleep, belly mapping, consuming dates, dealing with a frank breech baby, natural remedies for fighting a cold during pregnancy, and so much more!
Highlights from this episode:
- Sarelle's 33-week milestones
- Our tea party themed baby shower
- Receiving books instead of cards to grow TUB’s library
- We're grateful for the gifts and continued support
- Capturing your pregnancy with a photoshoot
- What is belly mapping?
- At 32 weeks, baby was in a frank breech position
- Chiropractic care and Spinning Babies exercises
- The home visit with the midwives ended in a hospital visit at 37 weeks
- Always look for the silver lining in a situation you can’t control
- Shortness of breath is still an ongoing struggle in trimester 3

- Glowing skin and thick lush hair
- How our sleep has been impacted during this stage
- Exercises to tune into your pelvic floor
- Listen to your body
- Can you prevent tearing with the EPI-NO?

My labour was long and difficult but it was a day (or two) that I will never forget.
Any woman that has given birth, no matter how or where is amazing! I have such an appreciation for labour and delivery being on the other side of it. It was a wild, exhilarating, exhausting experience but worth every second.
Sharing a birth story is very intimate and very empowering, and I am excited to share my story with you in this episode.
Highlights from this episode:
- Sarelle's 36-week milestones
- Acknowledging all the women who have given birth
- Hitting the 40-week milestone
- Natural induction protocols
- Potential risks involved with a hind water leak
- Our home birth nearly turned into a hospital birth
- Trying one last natural induction remedy... castor oil
- Finally contractions, home birth is back on!
- The arrival of our doula & midwives
- Trying various birthing positions & techniques throughout the day
- Manually breaking the water
- Our birthing tub experience
- Moving through the long and exhausting stages of labour
- Tough love from midwives at the end of labour
- The miraculous arrival of our baby girl!!
- Her name... Sarelle Jolie
- Delaying cord cutting and delivering the placenta
