The First Trimester: What to Expect Early On
The first trimester can feel like a whirlwind of emotions and physical changes. From the moment you see a positive test, your body begins preparing to grow a baby—often before you even feel pregnant. Common symptoms include fatigue, nausea, mood swings, and sore breasts, but everyone’s experience is different. Inside, your baby is rapidly developing—tiny organs, limbs, and even a heartbeat start to form. It’s also the time to book your first prenatal appointment, begin taking prenatal vitamins, and start tracking your journey. This early stage may feel overwhelming, but understanding what’s happening can bring comfort and connection to the process.
