Content Warning: Miscarriage   

  

This week, Dr. Jen is giving us the ultimate guide to early pregnancy. Think of it as the "So you're pregnant, now what?" episode. She's answering some fantastic questions from a listener who just found out she's pregnant. From the common symptoms you might experience (like tender breasts and extreme fatigue) to the truth about morning sickness and gender myths and when to announce your pregnancy to the world. Plus, she shares her top tips for finding the right obstetrician for you and why you don't need to break the bank on fancy prenatal vitamins. Whether you're in your first trimester, thinking about conceiving, or just curious about what to expect, this episode is a must-listen!
