Living in Texas, a state with one of (if not the) highest maternal mortality rates in the country, it’s embarrassing that they simply hide the data that disprove their bullshit stance. My wife and I had a very complicated pregnancy that ended up with my kid being born 6 weeks early and her in the hospital, and this was after years of IVF. We spent thousands getting to the point of having a child and if her life was in danger I would not have given a second thought to protecting her.
It’s to the point where the first thing I did when it was viable was to get a vasectomy because I wasn’t going to even have the potential for those risks in a state that actively hates women.
Honestly it makes me sound like a shill but the Apple Watch / fitness+ stuff has been incredibly helpful and motivating. I went from not doing anything to getting at least 30 mins a day after about 6 months. I work from home and am the primary caretaker of a toddler so getting to the gym hasn’t really been in the cards.
The real trick is sticking to it. But I promise it’s worth it for you and everyone in your circle. You can do it!!
