WTF Is Happening To My Body: Weeks 8-11

In this episode, I dive into what the f*ck is happening to my body during weeks 8-11 (which are always the hardest weeks for me) during my third pregnancy. I cover every detail from eating every possible second to avoid nausea, to extreme pregnancy exhaustion, to starting Zofran and it changing my life, to experiencing constipation from said medication. I talk about the relief of finally being able to announce my pregnancy, the insane amount of time that pregnant women have to spend at the doctor’s office, and overall not feeling my best during these difficult weeks of the first trimester.Key Takeaway / Points: Pregnancy exhaustion and intense napsSurviving on saltine crackers and sour candy, coffee aversions, & body shakesHow taking Zofran saved me from my nauseaDetails around announcing my pregnancyDifficulty keeping up with hygiene, self-care, and no longer fitting in my clothesThe conflicting emotions of feeling gratitude while also struggling during pregnancyThis episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles, the company behind the first FDA-cleared, hormone-free, and non-invasive birth control app that helps prevent or plan pregnancy naturally.
