In this episode, I take you behind the curtains and dive deep into the real and raw journey of my first trimester as a first time mom.
I talk about mental health, coping with nausea, and the curveballs of pregnancy diets. I also discussed the importance of early midwife applications, the invaluable support from doulas, and demystified first trimester sex.
