In Episode 21 (Week 28, 30 on paper), HeHe steps into new late-pregnancy routines to support her body and birth preparation. She begins drinking NoRa tea—a blend of raspberry leaf, nettle, oatstraw, and alfalfa—to help tone her uterus, and shares an inside look at pelvic floor therapy, including internal manual release, relaxation training, and future perineal massage aimed at shorter pushing and reduced tearing. She candidly reflects on the initial awkwardness of the work and how reframing it as intentional and empowering changes everything. As back stiffness, nighttime leg cramps, pelvic pressure, and early contractions emerge, she experiments with magnesium and potassium while learning to slow down. The week also includes a hands-on visit to a local baby gear shop to compare strollers and nursery furniture in person.
