❁

Weeks 1 – 13 · A quiet beginning

First Trimester

Your body is doing extraordinary invisible work. Fatigue, tender breasts and shifting appetite are the softest signals.

✦

The plate

Fold in folate & steady iron

Small, frequent meals to settle nausea. Prioritize folate (600 mcg/day), B6, and hydrating foods.

Lean in

  • Leafy greens: spinach, arugula, romaine
  • Lentils, chickpeas & black beans
  • Citrus, berries, avocado
  • Whole grains: oats, quinoa, brown rice
  • Ginger tea & lemon water for nausea
  • Eggs, salmon, plain yogurt

Gently avoid

  • Raw fish, deli meats, unpasteurized cheese
  • High-mercury fish (swordfish, king mackerel)
  • Alcohol and unpasteurized juices
  • More than 200 mg caffeine daily

The fit

Nothing tight at the waist

You may not be showing yet, but bloating is real. Trade rigid waistbands for softness.

  • Your usual size
    In stretch fabrics — modal, jersey, ribbed knits
  • Low-rise or high-rise soft pants
    Skip the mid-rise pinch across the belly
  • Wireless bralettes, one cup up
    Breasts swell early — comfort over structure
  • Slip dresses & wrap tops
    Forgiving, breezy, and endlessly re-wearable

A word for you
