  <p> The first pregnancy really does feel like a mix of excitement and “what in the world is happening to my body?”</p>
  <p>For me, the biggest thing was learning that <em>so many</em> of the weird little symptoms are totally normal (extra fatigue, random food aversions, mood swings). What helped:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>
  <p>Staying hydrated (made nausea less intense).</p>
  </li>
  <li>
  <p>Small, frequent snacks instead of big meals.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
  <p>Giving myself grace when I needed extra rest.</p>
  </li>
  </ul>
  <p>Also, don’t hesitate to bring up <em>anything</em> with your doctor or midwife — even if it feels small. They’ve heard it all before and it gave me a lot of peace of mind.</p>
  <p>You’ve got this 💛 It’s a wild ride but also such a special time.</p>
