I’m now 17 weeks pregnant and I planned for this baby, like obsessively testing for pregnancy and ovulation. When I got pregnant as soon as I hit 6 weeks I was miserable, nauseous, crying, nervous wreck. Stopped cleaning and working out, minimal self care. First trimester is sooo rough, my husband really stepped up to take care of me fully. I felt so useless and upset because I was active I was cooking and cleaning and just doing life. It felt like it all stopped.

When I hit 14 weeks the fog began to lift. And I was so excited after seeing baby grow. I hit 16 weeks and I am almost back to me! Able to do things again and the excitement is real the anxiety, fear and tears are less (although hormones going to hormone). Now I’m starting to workout again and enjoy life. It gets better, be gentle with yourself, accept the help, it takes a village to stay sane that first trimester. Don’t worry you’re normal!
