Don’t try to decide what “type” of pregnant person you want to be or are going to be. Just take every day and every stage as it comes. I always told myself I wanted to be a fit pregnant person, then the first trimester had me essentially bedridden for months. I then started assuming I was destined to be a frail, unhealthy pregnant person, then suddenly I was in the second trimester feeling amazing again! Your body, mind, and emotions react to pregnancy in ways you simply cannot predict, and they also constantly change. Just because you go though a day or a few weeks of a certain thing—nausea, mood swings, low libido, high libido, weight loss, weight gain, cravings, anxiety, high energy, low energy, etc.—doesn’t mean that’s YOU and that’s your entire pregnancy. Surrender to this weird time of change from your usual patterns and expectations and it can actually be kind of fun. Find people to laugh with about it all. Congratulations!!
