Symptoms of Pregnancy 

If you are in the first trimester of pregnancy, please understand that these symptoms that you describe are completely normal. Your body is in the process of undergoing several huge changes, and your hormones are all jumbled up at this time. Each person reacts differently to pregnancy, and these may be your reactions.

You can simply follow some basic norms here. If you are nauseous and not vomiting, you must try to eat well. If you cannot eat large meals at one go, try to eat about six small meals a day. This will keep your health good, even though it may not seem so at this point in time. Increase your intake of folic acid. The best sources of folic acid are freshly sprouted beans and fresh green vegetables. In the first trimester, the child is growing and developing very rapidly and it needs folic acid for growth and development of all its organs.

Increase your intake of calcium as well. This will help you to battle the weakness that typically accompanies nausea. If you feel nauseous at all times, suck on a lime or a lemon. This should help you to overcome feelings of sickness. All these unpleasant symptoms usually pass after the first trimester. Meanwhile, all the very best.
