Pregnancy is a big deal.
We have to give up wine and coffee, and avoid certain foods like fish and brie cheese. We have to get a house ready for a new member of the family who is “a little high maintenance”. We have to consider how this new person will affect the relationships in the family. And then there’s the worry that starts almost immediately upon hearing there is someone growing inside us.
But did you know the physical demands of pregnancy are an even bigger deal?
One study using blood tests, for example, showed that moms had lower levels of nutrients during their pregnancy, and for up to six months after.
Dr. Kendra, the pregnancy support ND, at StoneTree Clinic talks about what she wishes all moms knew about pregnancy in this video:
Dr. Kendra is presently in the middle of running her own “marathon” and is expecting to welcome another member to her family in May 2018! Come in and see her before she starts her maternity leave on April 27, 2018.
Fear not, Dr. Maggie and Dr. Candice are all lined up to care for Dr. Kendra’s patients during her leave. You can learn more about them here!
