The Path to Pregnancy course is for you if you’ve faced loss, preterm birth, birth trauma, or a NICU stay and want to proactively prepare your mind and body to TTC again.
Does this sound familiar?
You’ve heard platitudes thrown at you by professional and well-meaning loved ones in your life in an effort to calm you down, reassure you, make you feel better. But all they do is make you feel oversensitive and terribly alone.
Now, you’re getting ready to think about trying to conceive again and you’re terrified of…
>> Reaching out to your fertility clinic and getting the process started again.
>> Making a decision for when you’ll officially start trying again
>> Seeing that positive pregnancy test.
>> Being pregnant before you’re ready.
>> The past (or worse) repeating itself.
Your heart still yearns for another child, so you tell yourself to “get it together” and “calm your fear”…and you try everything you can think of…
- Reading blogs about pregnancy after second trimester loss
- Following social media accounts about pregnancy after stillbirth
- Joining forums to prep for pregnancy after a NICU.
- Elimination diets to help with inflammation leaving you with very little to actually eat and enjoy
- Saving research articles about the chances of recurrent pregnancy complications
- Asking questions in groups about experiences not reflected in the research
- Psychotherapy, yoga, and melatonin
- Netflix binges of Schitt’s Creek and Ted Lasso to distract you only to realize the intensity of The Bear actually matches your internal turmoil.
So you wonder how it’s ever going to be possible to feel ready to TTC again.
…But then you feel guilty for holding up the timeline while your partner waits patiently for you to tell them you’re on board.
…Which then makes you feel so.much.pressure. that you’re doing something wrong.
That you’re broken for not being able to get over your fear. That you’re a horrible partner and mom.
Why is this happening?
Coping strategies, like the ones you’ve been trying are successful in bringing short-term relief to your anxiety.
However, what they’re missing is actionable advice on how to support your whole body and mind to create a strong foundation to reduce your risk of pregnancy complications next time.
This is where Path to Pregnancy comes in.
With a focus on whole-person aspects of your life that have been affected by your previous pregnancy experience (e.g. your health, relationships, health care team, etc.), Path to Pregnancy is here to help you prepare to TTC so you can feel confident and ready to be pregnant again, without fear sitting in the driver’s seat.
The science about trauma-responsive approaches
shows us that there is hope for your next pregnancy…
When you prepare for your pregnancy through a trauma-responsive lens, your future self and your future baby benefit.
When you join Path to Pregnancy, you get 6 months access to:
A powerful and necessary we review what chronic/traumatic stress is and is not and why even professional misconceptions about these definitions leave too many women feeling more stressed and no relief about trying to conceive after preterm birth, NICU or loss. We also dive into help you make sense of your stress, identifying what your body is telling you, what it needs, and why.
Loss of control is a significant risk factor for triggering a threat and increasing the risk of health complications. Reclaiming your power and control starts with rebuilding trust in your body by understanding what’s happening in your body when you feel fear, and why all the stress management tools you’ve tried have only resulted in a few moments or hours of relief. You’ll also learn the foundational neurosensory steps to come out of that threat response that have nothing to do with deep breathing, meditation, or thinking positively.
The pervasive “We don’t know” and “Let’s hope for the best” attitude you’ve heard affects perinatal and fetal health outcomes. This is why we’ll guide you to get more answers from your care team that goes beyond, “This was just a fluke”, so you can make more informed decisions about your current health and health care plan, a well as your prenatal care before you head into your next pregnancy.
Our trauma-responsive guides and checklists are designed to help you sleep better, reduce inflammation, make meical decisions, and rebuild your healthcare team with providers who truly center you. These guides honor the trauma you’ve experienced, focusing on somatic and physiological shifts rather than thought-based or behavioral changes, so you can experience maximum, long-lasting benefits quickly.
This is not a course about mindfulness, fertility diets,
or deep breathing.
True trauma-responsive reproductive health support isn’t about quick fixes or band-aid solutions. It’s about exploring how stress physiology has impacted your physical and emotional health, your healthcare team, and the way you approach decisions.
By understanding stress physiology—not just as a mindset issue—we can help you prepare for your next pregnancy and increase your chances of a healthy outcome. Most providers take a siloed approach to your health, but with Path to Pregnancy, we connect the dots to see the whole picture and how everything fits together.
This gentle, self-paced course offers what’s been missing your prep plan so far: a whole-person, whole-health, trauma-responsive approach to your future pregnancy.
