As promised, an insight into our personal journey & how we supported a healthy pregnancy after loss.

My professional knowledge, education and experience tells me there is always a reason for everything, including pregnancy loss, while yes it is common, doesn’t mean it should be considered normal. Anyone who has experienced loss will understand, the number or gestation of the pregnancy doesn’t matter, it’s devastating all the same.

I spent 12 months prior to our first pregnancy working on my health with a practitioner (I NEVER self prescribe). During this time we also got my partners health in check, this included a full blood analysis, semen analysis & reduction in stress (This was a big one). From a practitioners perspective, we did all the right things.

I felt confident in my body, I understood my cycle as I had been tracking for years, knew when I was ovulating & that I was 100% ovulation, my digestion was good, my stress was under control, I barley drank, ate well, I thought I was set!

Each miscarriage was around 6 weeks, we took 3 months off in-between to give my body time to recover (this is a recommendation I make to all my clients, a challenging one, but worth it) as well as continue to investigate further. It was after the 2nd miscarriage I KNEW we were missing something and on reflection, I wasn’t doing all the things I recommend my clients to do because I thought I knew my body better. This is why you ALWAYS test and don’t guess.

These slides are a list of areas we investigated, it wasn’t until we addressed these areas that we fell pregnant.

This is far from a magic pill or the ā€œoneā€ answer you’ve been looking for, this is a brief insight into the MANY different areas of yours and your partners health, which isn’t investigated by the main stream health options, that may be contributing to your fertility struggles.

Ask any questions you have below or if this is currently your reality and you would like further support, please reach out and book in a consult to get started!

Never have I been more amazed by the female body, than I have over these past 9 months.

Pregnancy has been a mixture of mourning the body I once had, while loving the one currently growing our child. It’s learning that fitness had to change, but not completely stop. That my capacity is not the same, while also leaning into rest. To become uncomfortable with stepping away from a business I’ve worked so hard on these past 4 years (This is still my biggest work in progress), to allow other areas to grow.

Pregnancy after loss is then another challenge in itself. It wasn’t until well into my 20 weeks, I started to think this is actually happening. I have barely any photos from that period before. I’ve had to relearn how to trust my body again, something before pregnancy loss, I had so much faith in!

did the most incredible job at capturing this beautiful moment in time, on our street in beautiful Willunga at 32 weeks.

I look at these photos with only the most admiration for this body, who for 38 weeks now has kept our little guy safe & showed me how to trust it again.

P.s Is Rosie also not the biggest star of this show 🄹🄹

Still not over how amazing my mothers blessing/baby blessing/baby shower was 😭😭

Grateful for the 30 incredible women who sat in a circle and shared words of wisdom & love for me and baby Lee. There is something so powerful about bringing women together to gather in circle, a practice that the traditional owners have been doing for centuries before us. I was blown away by how truly powerful it actually was!

A mothers blessing is everything I love so much about my job & getting to be on the side of receiving, going into this new scary journey of motherhood, I truly couldn’t have imagined any better way to mark this transition.

If you have ever thought of this for yourself, I couldn’t recommend having .odonnell facilitate it for you, she creates a welcoming safe space, to allow everyone to share without judgement.

If you’re on my email list, you’ll already know this juicy gossip but from Monday 8th April, I’m relocating exclusively to !!!!!!

**all services will still be offered online.

This month marked 3 years of Apryl Koch Nutrition & during this time I’ve absolutely loved practicing out of two locations! and have been the homes that have allowed me to support & connect with so many of you! I’ll be forever grateful & indebted to these two inspiring boss ladies who welcomed me into their spaces & community when I was only just starting out šŸ’•

In this time my small little business has grown to a not so little business anymore & moving into the one location, in a more permanent setting seems like a natural progression.

I’m so excited to welcome you to this new chapter of Apryl Koch Nutrition, with more to be announced this week 🤫

All appointments booked from the 8th April onwards will be from Enough Studio: 298-300 Unley Road, Hyde Park, SA 5061. If you have an appointment booked after this date, someone will be in contact to confirm the location change.

Any questions or concerns please send us an email,
BIG LOVE, Apryl

My first in depth fertility ebook is here, Empowered Fertility: A guide to your reproductive health!

I listened in clinic to all the reoccurring questions, themes and miss understanding about our own bodies signs and symptoms, from here this ebook was born.

I created this guide to gently walk you through the intricacies of your menstrual cycle, gaining insights into the signs, symptoms and importance of tracking your basal body temperature.

Whether you're on a journey towards conception or seeking an understanding of your reproductive health, this e-book is your trusted ally.

Available for purchase now via my website.

I have a strong belief that the universe gifts us with exactly what we need at the right time, like this camping trip with our best friends, booked months in advance but it wasn’t until last week I realised how badly I would need it.

I live my life on the side of optimism believing that timing is everything, even when life is kicking me in the ass or I’m experiencing heartbreak. So I want to share this as a reminder to all my clients wanting so desperately to reach their goals, that healing takes time & it requires the right environment & support to happen.

The baby you desperately dream of, that period you want back, the foods you miss eating & the energy you long to feel are all possible!

The universe doesn’t just work alone though, you have to be willing to get uncomfortable to reach your goals. And some time in nature, away from devices with your besties doesn’t hurt either!

Before you start trying for a baby, you need to read this!

Planning for a baby can improve your outcomes of conception, pregnancy & the health of your future child.

I recommend working with a practitioner 12-6 months prior to TTC as it takes 3 months for the egg to mature & s***m health can be impacted up to 72 days prior. This also allows time to support areas of your health that may need provement prior to conception (this goes for both parents).

I always recommend including a quality prenatal supplement such as not those yucky common over the counter ones 🤮

Additionally, focus on including these key preconception food-based nutrients:

🦪 Zinc supports egg quality: Oysters, nuts & seeds, animal proteins.
🄚 Choline support healthy foetal & foetal brain development: Eggs, fish, dairy, chicken, pork, shiitake mushrooms.
🄩 Iron, the better your stores going into pregnancy the better the outcome during: Liver, dark meats, dark green veggies.
šŸ³ B12: Liver, eggs, meats.
🄦 Folate: Liver, spinach, asparagus, lentils, beetroots
šŸŒž Vitamin D essential for ovulation: 10 minutes of sun exposure per day without sun protection, cod liver oil.

The above is a great place to start, then find yourself a practitioner who will analyse your preconception bloods & tailor support to yours & your partners individual needs.
