WEEKS 1-12
1st Trimester Overview
Welcome to the wild ride of pregnancy! The first trimester is like a rollercoaster: you'll feel exhilarated one moment and queasy the next. Get ready for the "morning" sickness that can strike any time of day (or night), leaving you sprinting for the nearest bathroom like you're in a marathon. Embrace the fatigue that hits you like a ton of bricks, turning you into a nap enthusiast. And let's not forget the emotional whirlwind – one minute, you're laughing, and the next, you're crying because your partner forgot to buy pickles. Hang in there, and remember, you're not alone in this adventure!
