The First Trimester
The first trimester of your pregnancy will be spent getting used to the ongoing changes in your body. You can expect to feel fatigued. Not all women do, but if you find yourself wanting to nap more often, this is perfectly normal. You will also find that your breasts begin to get larger. Around your sixteenth week of pregnancy, you may want to look into better support.
The dreaded morning sickness is a part of pregnancy for many women. A feeling of nausea may overcome expectant mothers at any time of the day. A way to ward off morning sickness is to keep snacks readily available. Many women have found that almonds are a way to ease sickness and carry a stash of them at all times. Morning sickness often subsides after the first trimester so hang in there.
