1st, 2nd & 3rd Trimesters
Pregnancy – It’s all about the fluids!Natural Remedies For Morning Sickness
Feeling sick while pregnant isn’t a pleasant experience. Here are some great natural remedies for morning sickness to help you out.
Whether you are a new mum-to-be or you have experienced it all before, pregnancy is an exciting journey that should be celebrated. There is nothing more amazing than creating a new life! While the positives far outweigh the negatives, one challenge many expectant mums will encounter is morning sickness. According to statistics, 75% of pregnant women will experience morning sickness during their pregnancy, with 50% of women also experiencing vomiting – making life extra difficult.
First Trimester
What To Expect In The First Trimester
Weeks 1 to 14
What to should I do after I get a positive pregnancy test?
You put all your energy and efforts into achieving that positive pregnancy test, that many women often freeze after the excitement dies down and wonder: what next? I know I did. Before you get too carried away with future plans, don’t forget to share the news with your other half, after all, they did help in the process. You can even get creative with how to do it – or you may just want to blurt it out in excitement. I kept it simple and left the positive pregnancy test on the table by the door to see if he noticed it when he arrived home. He spotted it straight away, but it took a little while to sink in exactly what it meant.
Second Trimester
Second Trimester
Weeks 14 to 26
By the second trimester your baby is fully formed and will continue to grow bigger. If you were experiencing morning sickness, this should start to settle down now, but remember that every pregnancy is different.
Third Trimester
Third Trimester
Weeks 28 to 40 (or when the baby is born!)
This is the home stretch. As you leave behind the second trimester – which many mums-to-be claim is the easiest of the three – you begin to welcome sleepless nights, backaches and a lot more growth.
