Hello ) I'm 6 weeks pregnant today. I'm so keen for everything to go right. Did anyone else worry like mad until they reached 12 weeks? I've currently got morning sickness and constipation!!! Lovely stuff Love and peace x
Morning sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy. It means the hormones that support pregnancy are at sufficient levels. Eat small, frequent meals, eat something before you get out of bed in the morning, drink plenty of water. Eat a high protein snack before you go to bed at night. Eat a couple of prunes before you go to bed at night for the constipation. Also, drink lots of water. It's normal to worry, and it doesn't stop at 12 weeks. You worry until you see that baby in your arms. Then you worry for the next 20 years, lol!
OMG yes, I was probably one of the biggest worriers known to mankind. I thought that once I reached the 12 week mark that I'd quit worrying but then I found a whole new set of worries! lol I had horrendous constipation when I was pregnant with my twins. It was awful! I drank tons of water, ate lots of fiber, and even had my OB prescribe a prenatal vitamin with a natural laxative in it and that helped quite a bit. Hang in there hon, and keep your chin up! Big hugs and belly rubs...
Don't say that Brighid ... I'm pregnant with twins and I've had no morning sickness at all I don't have constipation, things are better than ever in that department... I suspect because I'm drinking a lot of fruit juice. One thing I am starting to get is a lot of reflux (or that's what the doctor says it is) and my uterus feels heavy and uncomfortable all the time, especially when standing up/walking around. I've made it to the 14.5 week mark, everything's going well, saw them both leaping around on the ultrasound 2 weeks ago. Congratulations to you Penny! I'm sure everything will be just fine! Just look after yourself, and listen to your body - if you need to lie down or whatever, do so. And have plenty of positive thoughts!
Thanks Ladies. It really helps having you to talk to. Most of my friends haven't had children yet and so that makes it quite difficult to talk to them. Fingers crossed that everything works out and that this one is strong. I'll let you all know when I have my first scan! Positive thoughts, love and peace x
