Here are a few things that helped me through my first trimester!
- Eat things like muesli and whole grains that will keep you fuller for longer.
- Use toast/bread as a staple as It's quick and easy to make
- Use protein shakes as a staple, especially good for morning sickness sufferers
- Maxalon, doxylamine and vitamin b6 are just some medications that can be prescribed for morning sickness
- Don’t eat foods that are hard to digest
- Eat smaller meals
- Eat more frequently (I'm eating 3 hourly)
- Get rid of all unnecessary smells if you are sensitive to smells. Get your hubby to put his deodorant/aftershave on after he leaves the house!
- I'm using bio oil and palmer's cocoa butter for stretch marks
- Find a good face wash, toner and moisturiser and make them your best friend, especially if your suffering from hormonal acne
- I'm using hydrozole on my acne when it gets really inflamed and itchy. It seems to be helping
- Go natural!! Stop washing your hair and stop wearing make-up if you have the chance!! I didn't really leave the house as I was so sick and my hair is looking fab now and my skin is looking so much fresher
- Sip water all day. This will keep you full and possibly keep your morning sickness at bay. It will also keep you hydrated and may prevent headaches
My main problem through my first trimester was morning sickness. You just have to work out what's best for you and the quicker you do this, the more enjoyable your first trimester will be. I never fully worked out how to stop my morning sickness but I managed to limit the sickness to night time using the methods I mentioned above. I hope that some of the methods I've suggested help you! Wishing you all a happy and safe pregnancy.
