The 3 trimesters of pregnancy

[Lauree]

I am working on a series of articles on the three trimesters of pregnancy, the common ailments and how to avoid them if possible. There is such a wide variety of experiences here, mine included I thought I would see if anyone would like to share perhaps how they dealt with fatigue, nausea, back pain, and other pregnancy issues including emotional.

I learned that my fatigue was caused by anemia - several weeks into suffering from it. If you're tired, get your iron levels checked!

To avoid nausea, I ate lots of protein and very little sugar in the first several weeks - I kept some turkey slices in the fridge as a quick fix if I found myself going too long between meals. And I couldn't let my tummy get empty.

Good luck with your articles.

Thanks, that is good info. I would guess the protein would help with the anemia too?
