Ugh!! (pregnancy question)

ColtsFan1912

I didn't eat a lot the first month or two of my pregnancy due to morning sickness. . .lot of saltines hehe. . .& my son was born perfectly healhty. I found I could eat later in the evening & I was fine. breakfast was just off for me then. I felt a lot better during my 2nd & then came the cravings. . .so i made up for how little i ate during the 1st trim :laugh:

Wahppppshhht! I just slapped myself bc I didn't know you are preggers!

CONGRATS!! I'm so happy for you and a teensy bit jealous.

Now, to answer your question- eat as nutritiously as you can, and do the best you can. I believe God created us to do a great job (obviously!) at pregnancy andd childbirth. Don't overthink it and dont' give yourself a hard time. (Unless you start craving dirt or clay!)

PS Did i say CONGRATSSSSSSSSS!

Don't worry about it! I posted something on the success boards a few days ago. I am sure a few people missed it!! :bigsmile:

Thanks again guys! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with this! I think I am over thinking it and need to just take a deep breathe and relax and eat as healthy as I can WHEN I can. It's only for a couple of hours from about 9:30-12:00 or so. Very weird! So, I will just eat later in the day to make up for the morning I guess!

But not TOO late. I don't want heartburn!!:laugh:

I had morning/afternoon/evening sickness with my 3rd one. I couldn't stand to smell food, eat, or drink hardly anything, but just ate and drank when I was not feeling quite as terrible. She was born 1 month early and weighed 8lbs 2oz, so I think that our bodies are equipped to handle just about anything. My daughter was sick during her 1st trimester and lost about 10 pounds during that time (and she was only 100 pounds), but once she hit the 2nd trimester she was eating everything in sight. :laugh:

Tam, first if all, congratulations! That is so exciting!!
Second, as previously stated, ginger works wonders for morning sickness. Try keeping candied ginger on hand to suck on as soon as you feel naseous. Motherhood Maternity carries lollipops that are supposed to help also. Can't remember what they are called, but they usually have them by the register. Also, peppermint tea is good to soothe the tummy. (You can steep it with a piece of candied ginger for a double dose of help). Hang in there, it will pass soon. I will keep my fingers crossed that the heartburn plague passes you by!

Hi Tami
I sympathise with you huni, that nausea feeling is not nice at all.
With my first pregnancy I had morning sickness from 8pm every night, then with my second, nothing - right up until 8 months pregnant, and then it hit - BIG time, every minute of the day!

I found in both my pregnancies that a dry biscuit before I got out of bed in the morning helped my nausea.
