congratulatios! Sorry to hear of your first trimester blues. yes it will get better! A few tips:
Eat some saltine crackers before you get out of bed in the a.m.

Don't get to the point of getting hungry, keep snacking on things that agree with you.

Eat watermelon.

Drink icewater.

Try to get fresh air.

HOpe this helps.

Congrats! It's tough being preggo! I second the saltines...and maybe ice water with a little lemon...or ginger ale. Good luck!

Hello there and congratulations on your big news! You are in for a very exciting journey!!! I have a 15 month old son and am 20 1/2 weeks pregnant wwith my second one.

This is a wonderful time, but I know how tough it can be in the beginning. Like the ladies have said, slatines and lemons definitely top the list. A friend told me ginger also helps, but I haven't tried it. Definitely stay hydrated...that can play a big part in nausea.

Good luck, I hope you feel better soon, and I look forward to seeing you on the board.
