182: What to do once you get that positive pregnancy test & early first trimester support

from The Ultimate Pregnancy Prep Podcast · host Nora DeBora

In today's episode, I'll be sharing what to do in those very early days after seeing your positive pregnancy test.  Unfortunately, many women receive very little real support in the early first trimester because conventional care doesn't "kick in" until that first prenatal visit, which is often not until around the 8–10 week mark, meaning you're left to navigate those intense, confusing early changes largely on your own.   So today, I'm going to walk you through the essentials you need to start thinking about right away, before you even walk into your doctor or midwife's office. I'll share how to choose your prenatal care team, what to expect at those first appointments, some simple early first‑trimester support strategies and some simple ways to start supporting your energy, hormones, and growing baby in these early weeks, without overhauling your entire life overnight. And because you know I love a good resource, I'll be sharing some of the gold that's inside my new prenatal guide called  "I Just Got Pregnant, Now What?" which includes everything you need to know with prenatal labs, nutrition, supplements, symptom support, and more. By the end of this episode, you'll feel like you have a roadmap for your first trimester and a clear next steps for a successful pregnancy.
