The "What Alien Inhabits My Body" Stage

So, you’ve peed on a stick, and surprise!

Morning sickness is a misnomer. It actually lasts all day! Who decided ‘morning’ was accurate anyway? Let's track them down!

Body Changes That Should Have Their Own Sitcom

Your body is going through a crazy metamorphosis. Breasts full enough to make a supporting cast member from “Baywatch” envious, skin breaking out as if you're a teenager again, and let’s not talk about flatulence. You might be wondering, “When do I get the legendary pregnancy glow?” Spoiler alert: It’s buried under three layers of concealer.

Heads up: Your bladder is now a part-time trampoline for your growing bean!

The Hormone Hurricane

Ge

t ready to cry! Seriously, tear ducts are working overtime during your first trimester. A cute puppy video? Sobbing. Someone ate the last of the ice cream? Sobbing. Your partner didn’t notice the four whole inches you trimmed off your hair? Cue dramatic sobbing.

Remember, your hormones are on an emotional rollercoaster, and you're in the front seat screaming with glee... or agony.

Food Cravings and Aversions: Frenemies Forever

Imagine loving broccoli one day and gagging at the mere thought of it the next. Your shopping list will look like it was written by a child let loose in a grocery store. Pickles and ice cream, anyone? No judgment here!

Confession: I once cried for an hour because my sandwich was too sandwichy. No one warned me!

Investing in Comfort with Style

Now that you're embarking on this magical journey, it's time to embrace comfort without sacrificing style. Your wardrobe might be screaming for a makeover as those pre-pregnancy jeans threaten to pass out from the strain. Enter Emamaco's maternity leggings – the perfect blend of comfort and chic. For those already riding the postpartum wave, sweet savior in form of Mum Tum leggings is worth its weight in gold.

Get on the Nap Bandwagon

Nap. Nap some more. Repeat. The first trimester exhaustion is like nothing you’ve ever felt before. This isn’t just tired; it’s, “Did I just fall asleep on the toilet?” kind of tired. The best part? It's okay to nap now; who’s going to stop you? Grab a co

zy blanket and embrace it, sister!

Pro tip: Wherever you collapse, make sure the naps are legendary!

Divine Delusions About Pregnancy Brain

Forgot your keys in the fridge? Lost track of time scrolling through adorable baby clothes online (let’s just add to cart)?

Embrace it as you scratch your head, trying to remember why you entered a room.

Reality check: You’ll apologize to everyone you've ghosted due to "unexplained" memory lapses.

Enjoying the Spotlight

Before you know it, you're the Kardashian of curiosity. Everyone wants to touch your belly—cue cultural debate of personal space—and bombard you with unsolicited advice. Smile, nod, and save your thanks for the sleepless nights when those suggestions actually make sense.

Breaking news: People love predicting your baby's gender. Spoiler: You might hear "boy" only to welcome a sassy little girl!

Your Growing Baby: The Peanut, the Almond, the Peach

Your body is housing a miracle! It starts as a teeny peanut and graduates to an almond, before finally transforming into a peach. Keep a fruit basket handy for reference, or just for snacking (because why not?). The excitement and anticipation grow with your little one.

Bump Patrol: Admire every subtle growth with the reverence it deserves. Strike a pose, capture the bump, and rock that journey!
