7. Navigating the First Trimester

In this episode, we talk about how to navigate the first trimester of pregnancy. During the first trimester, there are a lot of rapid hormone changes as your body creates the placenta and adjust to pregnancy. The creation of hormones and growing the baby require a lot of fats, vitamins and minerals which can leave mom depleted if she isn't taking in enough in her diet. Couple that with the fact that the first trimester often brings out nausea and food aversions, it makes it difficult to keep up with our body's needs.
