true story: my mom once told me to settle down with my lame-ass boyfriend at 26 because I was “a lot to handle.” Glad I didn’t listen—because I’m in Paris instead of stuck in Virginia with Sweaty Sam [redacted]. (Also, no hate on Virginia, it’s a beautiful place.) taken in Europe by @corisue

Keeping pregnancy simple— just like my approach to health. Here’s what I’m doing to stay healthy at 40 and pregnant.

1. Having fun. 💃🏻
I was resistant to becoming a mom—between the U.S.’s horrible maternal health rates (we have the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed country, more than double the OECD average), limited maternity leave, and very little support for postpartum mothers. The horror stories seem to never end. In an effort to keep vibes high, I’m having as much fun as possible—dressing cute, traveling, going to concerts, seeing friends—to prove to myself my life isn’t ending just because I’m 40 and pregnant.

2. Hitting 10,000 steps first thing.🏃🏻‍♀️
I’ve always been a big walker, taking our dog for long walks around Brooklyn each morning, which will continue when we have a stroller. Morning walks serve multiple functions—family time, connection with nature, morning sunlight to set my circadian rhythm, and exercise.

3. Lifting heavy weights.💪🏼
You can—and should—workout while pregnant. It’s mostly fear mongering that you can’t—I’ve found I can do most things pregnant, aside from laying on my stomach and twists. Lifting weights has helped prepare my body for labor.

4. Chiropractic & Pelvic Floor Therapy.🩻
Chiropractic care during pregnancy has been shown to cut pain levels for the vast majority of patients (studies show up to 89%), and some research even links it to shorter labor times and better fetal positioning. Pelvic floor therapy is just as underrated—training those muscles during pregnancy can cut your risk of severe tearing by about 50% and helps prevent leaking during and after pregnancy. I love Vibrant Chiropractic Care in Brooklyn—he takes insurance.

5. Eating protein. 🥩
Protein, healthy fats, and fruits and veggies are the basis of a healthy diet. Fortunately, I didn’t have to change my diet much to adjust for fertility and pregnancy. The official RDA is around 71g/day, but newer research suggests pregnant women need closer to 100g+ daily—I aim for 100g protein each day, and ensure I have a minimum of 2 eggs per day, for choline, protein and healthy fats for the babe. taken in New York, New York by @corisue
