Sacha Welsh really wanted to surprise her husband Owen with the news that she was pregnant.

The 30-year-old had it all planned out. She was going to leave the test for him to find when he got home.

But she got the surprise when he called asking if there was something she hadn’t told him.

The snitch was the pregnancy app she’d used to calculate her due date.

“I’d used it for my pregnancy with my daughter Whitney, who is almost two,” said Mrs Welsh.

“I forgot that it was set up to notify my husband of everything that happened.

“When it e-mailed me with the due date, it also e-mailed him. My plan was ruined, but it made for a better story anyway.”

The tale was one of the first she included on Welsh Wellness, the blog she launched last week.

It touches on her experiences with motherhood and pregnancy and gives tips for new and expecting mothers.

“So far, the writing has been the easy part,” she said. “The hard part has been getting the website ready. Creating the vision for the website took a while.”

Mrs Welsh, a Bermudian, moved to Toronto, Ontario in 2009 to work in marketing.

She married her Canadian husband in 2014.

“Two years ago I was in marketing and feeling very unsatisfied,” she said. “I wanted to do something that focused on helping people rather than just making money.”

She’d always had an interest in health and nutrition.

“By the time I was 21, all four of my grandparents had died from either heart disease or cancer,” she said.

She was determined to fight a similar fate, so she started learning about health and nutrition.

In 2015, she signed up for an online wellness course with the Health Coach Institute in New York but a few weeks into it, she learnt she was pregnant with Whitney.

After she gave birth, friends and family kept coming to her for advice because they wanted the perfect pregnancy she’d had.

“I’d been planning to start a wellness business, but I decided to put it off to focus on motherhood,” she said.

This year, she decided not to put off her dreams any more. She resigned from her marketing job and plans to become an online wellness consultant, offering her knowledge to people around the world.

“During my pregnancy I was much healthier and happier through the education I learnt in the wellness course,” she said.

“Thankfully, my postpartum experience was great, but there were struggles in the beginning with just learning motherhood.”

She will expand the blog as her own life expands.

“I started the blog and business purely for passion,” she said.

“It takes a long time to build things like this.

“It will grow as I grow. I will focus on other parts of health issues as life goes on.”

The biggest lesson motherhood has taught her is not to pass judgment.

“I used to be that non-parent in the grocery store looking on in disapproval as someone’s toddler had a meltdown,” she said.

“My daughter, Whitney, likes to make herself known in a public place. If my husband or I say no to anything she is asking for, she will scream at the top of the lungs for the whole store to hear. She will hold that scream until she feels satisfied.”

The Welshes handle the tantrums by ignoring them, as best they can.

“Reacting to it in any way feeds into it,” she said.
