    Hi, My name is Athina. I am a 28-year-old mama to a beautiful baby girl and wife to the best husband a girl could as for, Leonidas. We live in a small Suburb East of Melbourne, Australia. I am a Stay at home mom. I post videos about motherhood, cleaning and everything in between. I love being able to express myself without driving my husband mental :)
    I would love it if you subscribed and joined me on this journey of being a mommy and so much more.

    I swear when you’re ttc the last thing you want to hear is “don’t think about it and it’ll happen” or “stop tracking and it’ll happen” but for so many women that really is the case!! I’m so glad all of us have been a good support system for you throughout this last 12 months, and I can’t wait to see where you’ll be in another 12 months! 🥰😍 I’m guessing this sweet baby is another girl.. can’t wait to see if I’m right!

      @AthinaKarpouzis  4 года назад +2

      When people say that I just wish it was true. I did stop thinking about it and it just hasn't happened and right before that I went on holiday, didn't think about it, got pregnant and lost the baby very early so even when it did happen it didn't stick. Luckily for some people it does happen and I'm very happy it happened for her. My guess is a little boy 🤞🏼

    Great to hear about your vitamine levels! I am mostly happy to hear that you and your husband talked about that you are happy as it is.And to hear that your Journey is going well.
    One thing I Always see among youtubers under 30 is those "How i got pregnant", "this way i got pregnant this time". I liked your videos but unfortunately I think this video fell into that category as well. It bothers me, is the title and the belief that you and your actions are the thing that made it work, How can you be sure?... I just think it is an bit misleding. Science doesnt support it, its not evidence based. Is a secret of your Body, you cant really know exact what changed in this cycle. I feel like it makes young folks think that they can follow their favourite influencers do like them and them get pregnant. In the big run this is exactly why many women get stressad in the behinning because they are suckers for "advice". I think is a very personal process and very very individual thing really.

    • @AthinaKarpouzis
      @AthinaKarpouzis  4 года назад +1

      What I tried to say in the video was I got pregnant because I allowed myself to be ok with the timing. I wanted to explain that it’s ok if it isn’t happening exactly when you want. I didn’t mean the immediate actions affected my pregnancy. Even though I do believe that after raising my iron levels finally and giving myself permission to breathe that is why I got pregnant. I do t think I could have titled it differently. It describes my how and why. Thank you for being here.

    I watched you without commenting and didn't comment on hardly any videos when i first go onto watching youtube as much as i do now but i felt i had to comment on your video lol...if you look back at when i started commenting i said when you both "enjoy" the process and both finish if you know what i mean then that makes a huge difference and making love is different to baby dancing and it is usually the former that brings about conception. You both relaxed so there was no surge of stress hormones. Also the actual act itself changes in positioning and with your tilted uterus that would have helped too .... I knew it would happen xxx

    This is how it happened for us this cycle too. We took the month off from tracking and all that and just figured we would reset our brains with this ttc journey. Then I had an instinct to test and didn’t even know how many dpo I was. Based on when my mucus stopped I figured I was roughly 8dpo. And sure enough there was a super faint shadow of a line.

      @vxCOCOxv 4 года назад

      You can check your cervix for ovulation. But it takes time to know how it feels, like getting to know your body.
      High, soft and open.. is fertile.
      Hard and low (you can reach almost right away) and that is.. not fertile.
      I learned how my cervix felt with checking my IUD strings (non hormonal) and I learned from there after having it removed how my cervix is supposed to feel! It’s really awesome when you can PHYSICALLY track what your body is doing without having any bloodwork!
