Updated: 1 day ago

The first trimester of pregnancy is an exciting but also challenging time for many women. Your body undergoes complete changes, your emotions are on a roller coaster ride, and suddenly your whole life changes. As a midwife in Rostock, I would like to give you the most important pregnancy tips to help you get started and give you confidence.

⭐ What happens in the first trimester?

Between the first and twelfth week of pregnancy, an incredible amount is happening in your body:

  • Your baby is already forming organs, a heart, and a brain.

  • Hormones are changing your body.

  • Fatigue, nausea, and sensitivity to smells are normal.

  • Your breasts become more sensitive.

  • Mood swings may occur.


Many women feel uncertain during this time. I am here for you and will reliably guide you through this phase. Feel free to contact me at any time.


⭐ 1. Pregnancy tip: Find a midwife in Rostock early on

Many midwives in Rostock are booked up quickly. The sooner you get in touch, the better.

Why you need a midwife early on:

  • Personal support after a positive test result

  • Support with symptoms

  • Advice on nutrition and exercise

  • Emotional support

  • Preparation for the coming weeks

I recommend that you contact me as soon as possible after receiving your positive test result so that I can offer you a secure place in childcare.


⭐ 2. Nutrition tips for the first trimester

A healthy diet is important—but you don't have to be perfect. Small steps help!


This is good for you and your baby:


  • Fresh fruit and vegetables

  • Whole grain products Iron-rich foods (e.g., lentils, spinach)

  • Sufficient water (at least 1.5–2 liters daily)

  • Folic acid and vitamin D (consult your midwife/doctor)


You should reduce or avoid these altogether:


  • Raw meat & raw milk products Alcohol

  • Too much caffeine

  • Foods high in sugar

If you are unsure about your diet, I am here to offer you advice and share my experience in Rostock. Feel free to write to me.


⭐ 3. Pregnancy symptoms: What is normal—and what isn't?

Common complaints in the first trimester:

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Fatigue

  • Breast tenderness Dizziness

  • Mild abdominal pain

That's completely normal. BUT: If you experience severe pain, bleeding, or sudden discomfort, you should definitely contact me or your doctor.


Natural remedies for nausea:


  • Small meals throughout the day Ginger tea

  • Lemon water

  • Plenty of fresh air

  • Sufficient rest


 

⭐ 4. Exercise in the first trimester

Light exercise is good for you and stabilizes your mood.

Recommendations for Rostock:

  • Walks along the Baltic Sea (lots of fresh air!)

  • Light yoga exercises

  • Gentle stretching

  • Prenatal yoga in Rostock studios

Exercise helps:

  • against nausea

  • against fatigue

  • against mood swings

  • for better sleep

 

⭐ 5. Mental health – How to stay calm

The first trimester is emotional. Many women feel overwhelmed—that's normal.


What can help you:


  • Discussions with your midwife

  • Short breaks

  • Breathing techniques

  • Digital detox (less Googling!)

  • Quiet walks on the beach or in the forest

In Rostock in particular, you can take advantage of the proximity to nature to relax.


⭐ 6. Important: Do not overburden yourself

The first trimester is a quarter of a year of adjustment.

You don't have to immediately:

  • plan everything perfectly

  • have all the answers

  • make every decision

Give yourself time. Listen to your body. Talk openly with your partner, midwife, or friends.


❤️ Fazit

The first trimester of pregnancy is a phase full of physical and emotional changes. With good support, a healthy diet, sufficient rest, and my guidance as a midwife in Rostock, you can experience this time in a more relaxed and well-prepared manner.



You are not alone—I am happy to be by your side!
