5 Heartfelt Ways Your Friends Can Support You Through New Beginnings (Without Just Bringing You Casseroles)!

There's a certain magic in realizing you're creating a tiny human. But, let's face it—between dodging projectile nausea and deciding if you should order pickles on your ice cream, it can be quite the journey. You're in your 1st trimester, also affectionately known as the "What Fresh Hormonal Hell is This?" phase. Before you pull a disappearing act under your duvet with Netflix, consider all the fabulous ways your friends can support you—with or without a casserole in hand.

1. Be the Friend with the Deets, Not Just the Feats

Your besties probably know that this is not just about any new chapter. It's about flying head-first into a new book with sequels. A good friend won't just brag about how they ate spicy food at 9 months preggers, but instead, offer you the real MVP—their own wisdom, stress-bombs, and comforting tales about their pregnancy hemorrhoids.

BOLD & BEAUTIFUL: "Because sharing a scary story should always include a warning and maybe a donut."

Direct them to your new mecca of comfort, right over at Emamaco, where maternity leggings feel like a continuous hug (seriously, why isn't everything made from this stuff?).

2. Listen Without Judgment (or Really, With Snacks)

Whether it's about your aversion to

the aroma of bacon (gasp!) or an unexpected sob-session over the latest sappy commercial, your friends should be ready with a Keanu Reeves-level of listening intensity. A really good friend will know that sometimes a girl just needs to cry about crying.

STANDING OVATION: "Sometimes what you need isn't an answer. It's just an extra-large fries from the drive-thru."

And when these cry-fests are over, remind your friends that there’s nothing quite like slipping into a pair of fabulous Mum Tum leggings and a stretchy tee from Emamaco for the postpartum journey.

3. Plan a Getaway from Cabo Expectations

Somewhere between morning sickness and the realization your belly button might go from "innie" to "outie," why not encourage planned days to just do nothing? Whether it's a duvet day complete with romcom marathons or an afternoon just browsing Emamaco’s divine comfort wear, we all need days that come with no agenda—or at least ones that don't involve side-eyeing the treadmill.

SWEET ESCAPE: "Netflix and chill just became your second trimester superheroes."

Because, let's face it, now’s not the time to backpack across Europe. Best you can do is walk to the fridge without engaging your gag reflex. Grab the coziest accompaniment at Emamaco.

5. Laugh Often, Even if It's Just Because Tea Tastes Like Socks Now

To share a laugh is to remind ourselves that we're all a bit bonkers. Whether it’s a meme that nails exactly how you're feeling or a playful nudge about ultra-sensitive areolae, friends can remind us of the humor in even the messiest situations. Carbonara sauce on cheeks? Hilarious. Stuck in your maternity leggings? Not so much, but hey, that’s why they stretch!

LAUGHTER MEDICINE: "When in doubt, throw on your favorite cheeky sitcom. Or, stare blankly at your hands and ask, 'Is this my life now?'"

The best part of these moments is when you’re wearing leggings that make you feel like you’ve got this whole mom thing handled. Find your perfect pair at Emamaco.

Expecting a baby is a wild ride, but equipped with great friends, sensational cravings, and cloud-like comfort, you might just look back and—maybe with some genuine nostalgia—laugh at the first trimester chaos. Remember, motherhood is a journey best taken with a few awkward bbq invites, layers of laughter, and of course, the magical embrace of the perfect leggings.

Until next time, legging lovers, remember: When life throws you lemons, toss them back and demand chocolate!
