Hi all,

I’m here today with a rundown of to how my first trimester went.

From my two lines at just 3 past my period due date to 20 weeks.

• Started with extreme fatigue. So much so that by 4 o’clock I could be so tired I couldn’t function.
• Morning sickness that actually lasted most of the day.  Brushing my teeth always brought on sickness.
• Bleeding gums when brushing.
• Sore boobs from around 7 weeks. Especially in the evening. I ended up buying a non-wired support top to sleep in.
• My regular clothes started not fitting around 12 weeks.
• Quite a bit of anxiety crept back in.
• Crying at everything.

I manage I’d to combat a bit of the sickness by eating a small snack or biscuit at regular intervals through the day. And not eating too much at mealtimes.

I felt so much better if I could manage to get a nap before the afternoon school run. Still do.

I have kerbed a bit of the anxiety by keeping busy, exercise and fresh air.

I’ll be back in  a few weeks with my  2nd-trimester symptoms
