Hey mama! Welcome back to Pregnancy Unpacked, where Trish is guiding you through the transformative weeks of 14 to 16 of pregnancy. Learn how to build a supportive birth team, why trusting your gut is crucial, and the significant physical and emotional changes happening right now.
This is where you stop hoping, and start preparing. Your action steps for weeks 14-16 are to start a birth team vision list!

Your team will shape your labor more than your birth plan ever could.
Ask yourself these questions to know who’s right for your birth team:
- Do you fell calm in their presence?
- Do you feel safe asking questions?
- Do you trust them with your vulnerability?
If any of these questions leave you leaning “no”- then they’re not the right fit for you.
Your body is amazing, your voice is important, and your birth deserves thoughtful prep. Tune in every Wednesday for more Pregnancy Unpacked!
