Being in the third trimester of my 4th pregnancy, I have been challenged to embrace my own upcoming birth story and look forward to (finally) nurturing myself during the 4th trimester instead of focusing on “bouncing back.”
Parijat Deshpande’s world changed when her complicated, high risk pregnancy ended with the birth of her son at 25 weeks.
But Parijat learned something very profound and life-changing during the weeks she was on bedrest and the days before her son was born…. a discovery she was able to use to stay pregnant for an additional two weeks when everyone was telling her that her son would be born any moment. These two weeks made all the difference for a baby born right around the threshold of viability.
In this episode, we explore trauma, the nervous system and how to use the mind body connection to not just manage a high risk pregnancy but actually thrive. This conversation is epic and also so fun – Parijat shares her moving story and weaves it together with her expert knowledge on trauma, healing and nervous system regulation.
