Episode 108: My Journey Through the First Trimester of Pregnancy and How I Survive It


Listen Later

Navigating the maze of fertility challenges and early pregnancy can be an emotional whirlwind. I recall the moment I first saw a clear positive result on a pregnancy test after a long journey filled with PCOS and previous miscarriages—it was a mix of joy and fear unlike any other. This episode of the May's Anatomy Podcast dives deep into these raw, personal experiences while celebrating the strong, supportive community we've cultivated along the way. From humorous anecdotes about pregnancy brain to the comforting solace found in a positive ultrasound, we cover it all.

During the episode, I share practical coping strategies to manage the overwhelming anxiety and exhaustion of the first trimester. I talk about essential first-trimester tips like ginger candies and magnesium supplements made a world of difference, and I debunk some of the common myths about pregnancy cravings predicting the baby’s gender. Plus, you'll hear the heartwarming story of discovering we're having a boy through the NIPT test!

We wrap up with a reflection on the importance of self-care and not stressing over perfection. After all, pregnancy is a unique journey for every woman. I also share my plans for a week-long baby moon in Europe and tease future topics like peptide therapy, weight loss, and mental health. Tune in for an episode filled with heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a reminder that taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for your growing family.
