Preggo

Things I wish I had been told and will pass on to you:

1. Chew your food really well. You never know when you'll see it again
2. You have never known constipation until you are pregnant, on prenatals, and so nauseated you can't drink enough water.
3. Passing said constipation is a "glory, hallelujah" kind of moment. Enjoy
4. Buy post-its if you have a high stress job. Things just tend to slip your mind.
5. Heart burn is worse than nausea. . . worthy of chugging Pepto and chewing Tums like they're candy.
6. Some light cramping is normal in the first few weeks. This is the baby implanting.
7. There is such a thing as sublingual zofran
8. Sleep. All the time. There's no way around it. I fell asleep for over an hour in the middle of Great Wolf Lodge water park.
9. Food just tastes different. Apparently, you get new taste buds. . . idk, I just made that up. But no really. Even when a food sounds good and you get all excited, don't. Even cinnamon toast crunch is different.

I guess that's it for now. 9 weeks and counting. :-)

  1. Wow, my first trimesters were cake walks compared to yours. I'm sorry! I hope your second trimester brings some relief. It did for me.
