Pregnancy Symptoms in the First Trimester

[bubba08]

Hi 1PJ. We did. Normal run of the mill supermarket brand water based and we fell pregnant. don't presssure yourself, sometimes relaxing about becoming pregnant is the best thing you could do to prepare your body. Best of luck!

Being tired is one of the most common first sign of being pregnant.

Congratulations OConnor....thats great news.....this is my first too....pretty scary but so exciting at the same time.

Hey ladies..I have a question but its kinda embarrassing and probably TMI.....can anyone suggest anything to help with constipation!!!! Im dying here and if one more DR tells me to take metamucil.........I WILL CONSTIPATE THEM!!!! It doesnt work for me......nothing.......
Im in so much pain.....anyone know the answer to this revolting question!

I was chatting to one of my girlfriends who suffered terribly with constipation in first and second trimester. She said that she identified raw capsicum as the offending item in her diet and has eliminated that. Since then she has been much better.
Maybe check in with a natropath, and see if there are any other foods that cause this to happen, and it might just be some trial and error.
Take card

Thanks Mrs G
I think everything I eat does it to me.........will have to do what you say and 'trial and error' seeing my DR on Saturday so Im going to MKAE him give me something stronger than METAMUCIL...........

Not long for you.......how exciting!

Hi Carla, I found that acupuncture and drinking more water has helped with this uncomfortable problem.
