This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, we're talking all things first trimester!
It's one of our signature Ask Me Anything episodes – and yes, I love doing these for you guys!

Every question in this episode was submitted by my IG fam (hey Insta besties 👋) – and I picked the ones that needed a deeper dive than stories allow. So if you're navigating those early weeks and wondering, "Is this normal??" – you're in the right place.

Inside the episode, we're chatting about:

  • How to handle nausea without losing your mind

  • Fatigue hacks that actually help

  • What's up with first-trimester anxiety

  • And so much more!

Whether you're newly pregnant or just want to feel a little less alone in those first 12 weeks, this episode is packed with validation, tips, and real talk 💛
