Growing a human is hard work! The first trimester can be overwhelming and stressful, not to mention all the pregnancy symptoms you may start to feel -- hello nausea and fatigue.

Like many birth stories mine did not go as planned. For starters I ended up having preeclampsia which came on very suddenly. Although this was a scary thing to deal with at the time, my doula helped me and my husband immensely through the entire labor and delivery. I'm so thankful we hired her to be at our side through every weird pregnancy question to the exhausting labor and delivery.

You've taken the test and it's positive! Congratulations! But now, you're starting to feel not so great. Here's everything to expect in the first trimester.
