You made it to 29 weeks, mama—and while everyone’s telling you to “rest up,” no one’s really giving you the raw truth about what’s actually happening in your body, brain, and baby right now. So let’s talk about it.

You’ll learn:

• What baby’s kick patterns mean and when they matter most
• The real deal behind lightning crotch (and how to get relief!)
• What maternal brain plasticity is doing to your mind right now
• Breastfeeding prep you can actually start this week

Welcome to week 30, mama! 🎉 You’re deep into the third trimester, and while baby’s growing fast, so are the less-talked-about symptoms, emotions, and changes happening in your body.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually happens at 30 weeks pregnant—and not just the textbook stuff. We’re getting into the emotional rollercoaster, the pelvic pressure no one prepares you for, and the early feeding prep you can (and should) start now.

What You’ll Learn:

• What your baby’s doing at 30 weeks that impacts feeding later
• Weird symptoms that are normal (but definitely uncomfortable)
• Why your brain is literally rewiring for motherhood
• What kind of support to put in place now to help your future self
