I Ran a Half Marathon… IN FIRST TRI

Week 6 of pregnancy was a LOT.

I ran a half marathon, started proactively snacking on carbs to keep nausea at bay, and officially entered the era of peeing nonstop and feeling… kind of icky in my belly.

In this episode, I’m sharing what running felt like this week, why I’m committing to fueling during runs (even the short ones!) for the rest of pregnancy, and how early pregnancy hormones can mess with your mood before food aversions even show up.

We’re talking:

• Why carbs are clutch for nausea prevention in early pregnancy
• What abdominal pressure and that “off” belly feeling can mean (and when it’s normal)
• Emotional swings, anger, and the mental side of early pregnancy training
• How I’m thinking about fueling differently as a pregnant runner
  
  

This is not medical advice. It’s one runner, one body, one very real week of pregnancy. If you’re running pregnant, thinking about it, or just want to feel less alone in the weirdness… you’re in the right place.
