Dr. Nicole

My running has finally come to an end. We made it to almost 34 weeks of running and my pelvis just cannot take anymore. I looked back at my pre pregnancy running videos and was a bit discouraged because of how much I was able to accomplish last year. So many 5ks. My first 10k. My first half marathon. But I had to reframe and I am so thankful for what my body has been able to do. I’ve been able to grow my fourth baby while continuing to workout at 39 years old. To watch the seasons change from Fall to Winter and now to Spring in these clips and then to watch my body change is incredible. Women are simply incredible. I said I would run until my body told me to stop and it is indeed telling me stop. 😭😭 I am going to focus on more low impact exercises until baby girl gets here and remain thankful for this journey.

A lot can happen in 24 hours 👀 #obgyn

Last shift before maternity leave! #9monthspregnant

We are 8 months pregnant! This pregnancy is going by fast and slow at the same time lol. Come with me for another 24 hour shift. Thankful that I can still work but also looking forward to maternity leave snuggles. I know the shifts may seem crazy but I only do a few a month and I’m home with my family the rest of the time. It gives me great flexibility. I have worked up until delivery with every baby so we will hopefully do the same this time too. My pelvic pain is disrespectful but other than that baby girl has been good to me! May can’t come soon enough.

*My husband was not harmed in the making of this video 😭😭 #pregnantlife

May the stressful OB GYN life never find me. #obgyn #balance #doctormom

And I would do it all again.

We had sooooo much fun at my baby shower celebrating our baby girl. Save these for your next shower!

Fourth C section mini vlog. Honestly, this went so much better than my last one and I am so thankful! #csection #obgyn

How I am preparing for my 4th C section as an OB GYN #obgyn #doctormom #csectionmama

So thankful for a supportive partner. We celebrate our anniversary tomorrow and I am just so grateful for all of our blessings!

Grow with me throughout pregnancy! From being able to run miles to now barely being able to walk pregnancy will truly humble you 😭😭😭 Look at my basketball belly lol

Come with an OB GYN to do my 3 hour glucose test #obgyn #glucosetest #doctormom #obgynlife

Loved dressing up the bump this pregnancy! #39andpregnant

It has not been easy staying active this pregnancy but step class has been one of my favorite classes while pregnant. #fitandpregnant

Because they better get it together before baby girl gets here lol. #39andpregnant #obgyn

Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions #39andpregnant

It’s almost time! Come twist my hair with me at 8.5 months pregnant. #marleyhair #39andpregnant

Fibroid journey part 2. Many of you asked why I have to have another Cesarean delivery and this is why. Although harder to recover from, I am thankful for however my babies get here safely. If you have suffered from fibroids too, let me know in the comments.

Come with me to do my glucose test! I will admit I did my test late because I have been dreading it and nervous because I def failed my one hour with my first two pregnancies. I passed with Grayson so let’s hope I pass this time. Gestational diabetes does increase your risk for preeclampsia and there is an increased risk of diabetes later in life. Fasting is not required for the test and I had a small breakfast just so I wouldn’t pass out during my step class lol. Now we wait and I’ll keep you guys updated on my results. If I don’t pass I will have to come back and do the 3 hour test 😭. #obgyn #doctormom #glucosetest
