A lot changes in your body during the first trimester of pregnancy—often before you even look pregnant. If you are experiencing strange symptoms and wondering, “Is this normal?” you are not alone.

In this video, Rachel (mom of 8) and Heather (family nurse practitioner, licensed midwife, and lactation consultant) from the Mighty Mama Movement break down the first trimester changes that are totally normal—but can feel really weird if no one has warned you about them.

We talk about early pregnancy symptoms many women are surprised by, including:
Heightened sense of smell and food aversions
Metallic taste in the mouth
Bloating, gas, and digestive changes
Sleep disturbances and vivid dreams
Mood swings and increased anxiety
Headaches, lightheadedness, and low blood pressure
Changes in balance, joints, skin, vision, and discharge
Cramping, round ligament pain, and spotting after intimacy
Congestion, ear pressure, and other unexpected changes

You will also learn why these symptoms happen, which ones are usually harmless, and when it makes sense to check in with your healthcare provider.

Our goal is to help you feel informed, validated, and confident—so you can stop worrying that something is “wrong” and start understanding what your pregnant body is doing.
