Actually, my doctor told me that the surge in progesterone hormone in the first trimester acts like a natural sedative, which is why we feel so sleepy. Later in the third trimester, carrying the extra weight and poor sleep quality causes the exhaustion. So it's completely physiological!

I tested 2 days before my period and got a super faint line, then spent the whole day googling if it was real! Did anyone else also get a very light line early on?

During my first trimester, I had some pale yellow discharge too and it made me so anxious. Did anyone else have this and find out it was completely normal? I still check every time I use the washroom.

Invest in a good pregnancy pillow and avoid lifting heavy things. Also, do some mild prenatal yoga if your doctor permits. It works wonders for the lower back.

Honestly, I crave weird things too, but if you're eyeing the wall plaster, it's time to call the doc! 😂 It's just an iron deficiency sign, very common but needs medicine.
