In Episode 26 of Growing with HeHe (Weeks 34-35 on paper) HeHe reflects on the transition into maternity leave, while navigating the final weeks of pregnancy, amid home construction chaos. She shares the mental challenge of “trust falling” from her business—and adjusting to the unusual quiet of not working around the clock. Physically, she experiences her baby’s hiccups, increasing heartburn, and early Braxton Hicks contractions, and finds relief through magnesium, her husband’s Italian “brisky” remedy, kinesio taping, and weekly acupuncture for balance and rest. She also discusses minimal prenatal care with her midwives—staying calm amid dust and disarray—and celebrating her baby shower with friends and family as she approaches 36 weeks, embracing both preparation and anticipation.
