Who is The Plant Based Bae?

Hi! I’m Emmy May and I’m the author & creator behind The Plant Based Bae. A little bit about me… Shortly after my 25th birthday, I decided to switch to a plant based diet which led to me making positive changes in many other areas of my life. Once I realized the impact my diet had on myself, animals, and environment I started questioning more things around me. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to share my experiences & findings with others to spread the power of positivity & veganism out into the world.

35 Week Bumpdate: Aurora Theodora 🎀 is the size of a bunch of 🥬! This has been a crazy week for us!! We had our items delivered from @simplybirth which completed the list of supplies we needed for our home birth! It’s given me such a sense of peace looking at the stockpile of items as I do yoga in the nursery to prepare for labor 🧘🏻‍♀️. We had a little scare on Thursday and had some rushed tests done with our midwife to screen for preeclampsia because I was experiencing a persistent headache & pains in my upper abdomen that lingered from the night before. We got the good news just a few hours later that I tested negative for that. What’s more is that the metabolic panel showed the perfect protein level and low liver enzymes meaning that it’s not working so hard to function because of my plant based diet 🌱. We summed it up to the heat dehydrating me and baby 👣 getting stuck in my ribs again so I’ve been drinking more fluids & taking it easy. We’re so glad to know both of us are healthy and I’m so thankful for Austin and our midwife Kayti at @birthlocal for being there to comfort me as I got worried before we got the results. We had our last ultrasound for a growth scan today and found out that our baby girl has so much hair already! She also has big feet like her daddy. She’s weighing in around 6lbs 4oz right now and expected to gain about a half ounce each week until birth. I felt a huge sense of movement this morning thinking she had “dropped” into my pelvis and was surprised to learn today that our girl is actually breech with her head up and feet stretched down which is why I was feeling all that pressure down there😩 we talked through it right away with Kayti and came up with an action plan before our home visit with their team on Wednesday. We’re doing frozen veggies on the top of my bump & Austin’s voice on the bottom to coax her down, inversion, breech baby prenatal yoga, and looking into moxification with acupuncture if that doesn’t get her to flip. So far we’ve gotten some kicks and wiggles telling us she’s not too pleased with the cold but we’re hoping it works after a few more tries 🙏🏼 We have a sassy one on our hands that’s for sure 💁🏻‍♀️ 34 Week Bumpdate: Aurora Theodora 🎀 is the size of a loaf of 🍞! She’s been very active this week and I’ve been feeling her little👣 get stuck in my ribs at least once a day now. I’ve had a little insomnia this week because of that but am feeling more productive during the day getting stuff done around the house, walking the dogs farther & meditating when I can. I’m pushing myself to do anything that will make for a smoother labor. We had a great appointment with midwife Kayti this week and confirmed our girl is still head-down on the left side which is exactly where we want her to be for birth 🤗My bump is measuring right to the week we’re in, so we’re still planning on Aurora coming around her due date. We talked about using moxa for “mother roasting” with Kayti & she gave the Doppler to Austin so we could hear her heartbeat, which he found right away 💓 We are waiting on some birth supplies to come over but are feeling great about our home visit in a couple weeks with our midwife team. It all gets us closer to meeting our sweet baby and we couldn’t be more excited!! 33 Week Bumpdate: Aurora Theodora 🎀 is the size of a durian! She’s been kicking & stretching into my ribs this week and has been making me want taquitos a little more than usual lately🤪 It’s safe to say I’m feeling VERY pregnant now, with my belly making it hard to get out of bed for those frequent bathroom trips at night. I’m also having more vivid dreams and even had one where I pictured her little face smiling at me 🥰Austin puts his ear to my belly every day now to hear her heartbeat & gets little thumps back from her when she realizes he’s there 😍 In addition to hanging up more decorations in her room, we’ve been reorganizing things in other rooms of the house to get ready for her arrival. It’s hard to believe we have just a month and a half until she gets here! Can’t wait to meet our baby girl 💗
