Overview

During the first trimester, there is little external reassurance that everything is progressing normally. You do not look pregnant yet; you cannot feel your baby move. While ultrasounds and hearing your baby’s heartbeat are reassuring, you have very few prenatal appointments in the first trimester. Feeling nervous and worrying about your baby’s health is entirely natural. In this episode, we explore why early pregnancy can feel so emotionally overwhelming and share practical, evidence-based tools to help manage anxious thoughts. Whether you are experiencing ongoing anxiety or just the occasional moment of doubt, these strategies can help you feel more grounded, calm, and confident during the early stages of your pregnancy.
