You this week

- •Breast tenderness and fullness

This week's tips
- •Schedule your dating ultrasound if you haven't already—this can confirm due date and rule out multiples
- •Keep snacking on protein-rich foods to support energy and combat nausea
- •Stay hydrated, especially if experiencing morning sickness; sipping small amounts throughout the day often works better than large drinks
- •Rest when you can—this fatigue is real and temporary, not a sign something's wrong
- •Consider scheduling your first trimester screening (nuchal translucency ultrasound) which is typically done between weeks 11-14
