In this solo episode, Ashleigh updates you as she hits the halfway mark of her second pregnancy, including what's different or the same this time around, what's easier and what's more difficult, and anything that's surprised her along the way. She shares info on her supplement routine as well as how she's working out and eating, and her birth plans.

She also answers pregnancy questions from listeners about taking creatine in pregnancy, whether it's possible to build muscle while pregnant, navigating the challenges of returning to training postpartum, and more.
