Lauryn's Pregnancy Q&A: Her Pre Baby Wellness Routines, Staying In Shape & More!

Summary

Lauryn Bosstick answers audience questions about her third pregnancy, describing her personal routines for preparing for birth, staying active, and caring for herself. She emphasizes that her views are her own and encourages viewers to consult their doctors and do their own research.

Wellness and preparation strategies

• Meditation and affirmations: She meditates for about 30 minutes each morning, sometimes combining it with breathwork. She uses the time to visualize birth and postpartum and repeat calming, positive affirmations.
• Movement and fitness: She works out regularly, including weightlifting, classical Pilates, walking, and tennis. She finds that movement supports her mood and well-being, while acknowledging that pregnancy experiences and energy levels differ.
• Food and nutrition: She describes eating meat and organ meats, along with foods such as eggs, lentils, and Greek yogurt. She also follows an informal “80/20” approach and makes room for cravings.
• Sleep and winding down: She protects an evening cutoff for work and conversation, then rests, reads, and uses a warmed lavender neck pillow as part of her bedtime routine.
• Self-care: She mentions foot massages, dry brushing, facial massage or cosmetic acupuncture, and lymphatic massage as practices she enjoys.
• Reading and time management: She reads in the morning or before bed and suggests setting limits on scrolling if it is crowding out hobbies or downtime.
• Medical care and self-advocacy: She values having a doctor who listens and encourages patients to ask questions and make informed decisions. She describes limiting some tests and declining vaccines during pregnancy as her personal choices.

Important context

Some of Lauryn’s pregnancy-related choices—including consuming raw milk and unpasteurized juice, eating sushi and oysters, having occasional alcohol, declining vaccines, and limiting screening—are presented as her own experience, not general medical guidance. These choices may carry risks during pregnancy; viewers should discuss them with a qualified healthcare professional.

Her comments about affirmations and fertility are also personal beliefs, not a substitute for medical evaluation or evidence-based fertility care. She additionally endorses mouth taping, supplements, and wellness products; those endorsements should not be treated as proof of safety or effectiveness during pregnancy.
