Some helpful/random things I’ve noticed about pregnancy!

So I’m 7 weeks 1 day today! This is my first pregnancy & I wanted to note some things I’ve noticed / things that have helped me….y’all may already know these things but I just wanted to document. :) I wish someone would have told me these things going into 1st tri.

1.) DONT allow yourself to get even 1% hungry.. the nausea will come on full force and won’t go away til you eat!!

2.) You will be so fatigued to the point where even brushing your teeth seems daunting. I noticed the more I slept the better I felt!

3.) you will be very gassy/burp a lot. (Grossss I know, but if you don’t let it out you’ll get nauseous..)

4.) you do NOT get the pregnancy glow in the first trimester. 😂😂 unless you did, then you’re lucky. 😘

5.) food aversion is real!! Foods I have loved before will suddenly make me gag. 🫥

6.) In lieu of cravings, because food aversion is so real, you have to eat what you crave when you crave it.. otherwise you may not eat.

7.) you will pee allllllllll the time.

8.) you will still have tons of CM. EW, clumpy etc (sorry for TMI) but don’t let it freak you out!

9.) I know this one’s strange, but YES you can still have sex, you just probably won’t feel like it.. so when you’re in the mood, take advantage of it;)

10.) every bout of nausea and every gag, heartburn, headache, cramp, while frustrating, is a reminder there’s a beautiful life in me. One that’s growing every single day. I’m treasuring every moment. ❤️
