After pregnancy loss, the most important things to

After pregnancy loss, the most important things to do are to grieve and process your emotions and give yourself space for at least 30 days and until your next cycle arrives.

For me personally, it was important to feel back in control and take action to understand if there were any controllable drivers that I had overlooked during preconception. While I don’t suggest everyone needs to do the same, I don’t believe testing should wait until after two or more losses have occurred (as couples are most often told).

Here’s what I did:

🩸 Male Partner Testing
Conception is 50:50 and a homocysteine blood test is a powerful way to understand sperm health, where elevated levels can damage sperm DNA, reduce motility and morphology, and create oxidative stress, all of which can contribute to fertility challenges.
If possible, request a semen analysis with DNA fragmentation testing to assess sperm quality and genetic integrity. The results can offer critical insights into your next steps.

🔬 Vaginal Microbiome Testing
Understanding your vaginal microbiome can reveal imbalances that may affect fertility and future pregnancies. A healthy vaginal environment is key to conception and overall reproductive health. Infections including ureaplasma can inflame the endometrial lining and contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss.

Also, you never have to wait. These tests can also form a powerful part of your preconception care.

I hope this helps. Post any questions in the comments below 🌈🤍

I thought it was about time for a re-introduction

I thought it was about time for a re-introduction around here! It’s so nice to meet you 🌸💗

I’m Steph, the face behind The Natural Nutritionist. I’m here to help women in their late reproductive years and beyond navigate the hormonal rollercoaster and reclaim their vitality with nutritious, enjoyable food, sustainable lifestyle changes, and comprehensive functional pathology testing. Specializing in women’s hormone health, I’m passionate about empowering women to feel their best, and reshaping the conversation around age.

At home, I’m a proud home-birth mumma x2, married to a Chiropractor (aka the dreamboat) and currently expecting our fourth - a precious rainbow baby - in January 2025, at 41. Life with two toddlers is a beautiful blend of snacks, giggles, and, let’s be honest, more than a few meltdowns (for all of us, except Ian 😆). Motherhood is my greatest joy, but it’s also my greatest challenge. So if you see me looking calm and collected here, just remember: this is the highlight reel. Behind the scenes, life is a beautifully messy, imperfect adventure.

Between hormone-balancing and toddler-wrangling, I do my best to make self-care a priority (yoga and solo retreats are my jam and I’ll happily hike for 6 days with no mobile service and no children). Thank you for being here and letting me be part of your journey. Here’s to empowered health, self-advocacy, and embracing the chaos together 🫶🏻🤍

Now, if you’ve made it this far, well done! I’d love to hear from you: how can I help you achieve balanced hormones? It could be recipes, podcast episode topics, all things pathology, navigating Western medicine, you name it!👇🏼🙏🏼

I get it, the mornings are hectic. And yet you can’t afford the domino effect of not changing your priorities.

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Go to bed earlier.
2️⃣ Wake up earlier.
3️⃣ Whizz up a high fibre, macronutrient balanced smoothie.
4️⃣ Make High Protein Overnight Oats - 5 jars, 5 mid-week meals ready to grab and go.
5️⃣ Make my Overnight Chia Bircher on the weekend.
6️⃣ Make a double batch of my Banana & Zucchini Pancakes on Sunday for breakfast, and store the rest in the fridge.
7️⃣ Make a frittata on Sunday night when you’re preparing dinner.
8️⃣ Boiled a carton of eggs on the weekend.
9️⃣ Time how long it really takes you to make and eat 3 scrambled eggs, 1/2 avocado and a dense slice of sourdough bread.
🔟 Eat leftovers for breakfast.

👇🏼 Join the comments section and share how you ensure a nutrient dense breakfast in amongst the wildness of the work/school week. And don’t forget to save this post! 🫶🏻

We are beyond grateful to share that our rainbow baby is coming in January 2025! After experiencing the heartache of loss, this journey has been one filled with so many emotions – hope, fear, reflection and a true appreciation of the preciousness of life. Pregnancy after loss is a delicate balance, but each day brings me more comfort as I get closer to holding this little one in my arms.

To everyone still waiting for their rainbow, please know that you’re in my thoughts every step of the way. I know how hard this journey can be, and I hope that sharing ours can bring even a small amount of hope to yours 🌈❤️

And yes, in case you’re already doing the maths, I’m 27 weeks. This is my fourth pregnancy in 6 years, and I just turned 41, so, if you see me waddling around, you know why! Comments on my appearance are only welcome if you’re telling me how cute I look 😆🤍
