Hi all,

Mostly, I'm looking for some encouragement.

I did the TTC program for 3 months and then became pregnant for the first time (yay!). Before doing the TTC program, I regularly exercised and ate pretty healthy for many years, so I would consider myself an average athlete.

I'm in my 7th week, and the nausea/morning sickness has arrived. Before, I followed Nancy's workout and nutrition plans very closely, and now, I'm having trouble because of how I feel most days. Nancy suggests moving and pushing through the nausea, if possible. I do that sometimes, but it seems like all I can do lately is get in a daily walk. I'm also only able to eat certain foods (i.e. crackers, peanut butter, toast, cheese, soup, apple sauce) that I never really ate before because that's all I can stomach.

I would love some positive support as a first timer. I think I need to be more gentle with myself on this pregnancy journey. I just love the MYB program and want to make sure I (and my baby) get the most out of it. I'm sure once I get past the first trimester, I can get back into my usual swing of things.

Hey mama!

First of all, congrats on your pregnancy - how exciting!! I know that first trimester and the morning sickness can be so tough and miserable. Be gentle with yourself! You're growing a human and your body is working overtime to do that! Just know that this phase will pass and you will start feeling better and be able to get back to your healthy eating habits and exercises soon! Hang in there, girlfriend! Xx

Thank you so, so, so much. I really needed this and knew that I could get support here :)
