Hey guys I'm almost 7 weeks and I'm a FTM. I had an ultrasound and saw my baby's heart beating. I'm kind of scared with this being my first baby. Do any of you lovely ladies have any suggestions or tips for the first trimester. What to eat and what not to eat etc etc?
Basically eat what u can crackers have been my friend this first trimester cause of the morning sickness but if your not experiencing this then just eat healthy if you are my ob said carbs are my friend right now
@tallgirl16, I think it started around 7 weeks for me and went until just after the start of the second trimester. If you're not seeing your OB for a while, the book "What To Expect When You're Expecting" has a good list of which foods are really good during pregnancy and which to avoid.
I eat w.e. I want and crave just don't over do it so much and add fruits and vegetables plus a lot of water and you'll be fine hun
I had really bad morning sickness from week 5 till week 12 but it was really all day sickness it was hard to keep food down i slept most of the day
@mrssarahbeth, when dis morning sickness start for you? I literally only felt nauseous when I was 4 weeks right before I took the test. And I don't meet with an OB for another two weeks I got the first ultrasound because I was having pain.
My first trimester was a little rough, bad nausea and I was exhausted all the time. My advice would be don't push it - eat what sounds good when/if you're hungry and take naps when you're able to. There are no-no foods (unpasteurized dairy/juice, raw meat/seafood, your OB should give you a list) but otherwise just go with what your body wants, because once morning sickness kicked in for me I was more worried about getting any calories rather than too many.
yeah just eat healthy and get plenty of rest.I was super tired and nauseous in the first trimester
Thanks ladies. I really have been trying to eat healthy these last couple of weeks
