1st Trimester Life Savers

Now that the first trimester is good and gone I was thinking of some things that really helped me during that time. Here are my thoughts/suggestions:

1. Lemonade. No one told me this helps nausea but I read it somewhere and it really helped! Sprite was ok for a while but lemonade worked every time.

2. Body Pillow. Buy one now! I love this thing! See previous posts about the pillow.

3. This books really made me feel so much better! And LOL all the time. See previous posts for more details.

4. St. Ives Apricot Scrub. It took me the entire 12 weeks to figure this one out. But I have gotten the worst acne being pregnant and this is the only face wash that seems to be helping.

5. Aveeno TINTED moisturizer helps cover up the acne before you put on the makeup. You might also need a pound of makeup to help the acne but maybe you will be one of those lucky ones who doesn't get pregnancy acne. 

6. Salt and Vinegar chips or chips in general. I bought the kettle chips because they are a bit healthier than regular but it helped solve the salt cravings!

7. A really good water bottle! You will (and are suppose to) drink tons and tons of water. Having a good water bottle to carry around really helps. 

8. A Neurologist!!!!!! Most important one! If you have headaches that do not get better by eating, sleeping or exercising see a neurologist. If you headaches get worse from the light, TV, computer, and loud noises see a neurologist! And don't wait because hahah they don't get better after the first trimester! 

I can only really think of 8 things! However, someone did tell me they didn't feel better until 16 or more weeks and I wish I would have kept that in mind. The day I turned 12 weeks I was waiting for the magic.. it took a few more but it happened!
