The Road to Our First Baby

The start of our family, and the healing path that still holds us.

Trying to conceive wasn’t easy.

1.5 years of hoping, tracking, waiting… nothing.

After encouragement from my acupuncturist, we both went to the doctor and I had blood work.

“You have high progesterone.”

My doctor referred me to an OB.

That OB wanted me to get an MRI to check my pituitary gland.

I waited over 2 hours - stressed, alone - for a 2-minute conversation he could have had over the phone.

I didn’t want an MRI. I was nervous they’d suggest medication, and I didn’t want that either.

I was scared. Frustrated.

All this time trying to avoid pregnancy and now when we were ready, we struggled.

So I looked elsewhere.

I turned to holistic care while I waited for that MRI date.

I wanted to see what else was possible.

I saw a homeopath.

He told me with confidence:

“Within 3 months you’ll be pregnant. And if not, come back.”

That hope meant everything.

I met a BodyTalk practitioner.

She supported me then, and still supports my family 10 years later.

That connection became a lifelong support.

When the MRI appointment notice finally came…

I got to call and cancel it!

I was pregnant 🤍

One of the best calls I’ve ever made.

When I found out I was pregnant, I felt so grateful.

No MRI, no medication, just gentle healing that helped me reconnect with my body.

I know every journey to pregnancy looks different. This was ours and it shaped everything that came next.

It deepened my trust in the body.

It opened my heart to holistic care.

And it planted the very first seed of what would become my work as a doula and Reiki Practitioner.

🤍 This is where it all began
