First Trimester Realities vs. Expectations: My Unfiltered Journey Through Nausea, Body Changes, Mental Health Struggles and Becoming a First Time Mom
19 Apr 2024
In this episode, I take you behind the curtains and dive deep into the real and raw journey of my first trimester as a first time mom. I talk about mental health, coping with nausea, and the curveballs of pregnancy diets. I also discussed the importance of early midwife applications, the invaluable support from doulas, and demystified first trimester sex. Pregnancy is not a one-size-fits-all experience.
