First Trimester Necessities
Here’s a list of my first trimester necessities and what helped me through with my migraines and nausea.
Easy and quick to grab snacks - the easiest for me to eat were Belvita Sandwiches and apple sauce pouches. The less flavor the better.
Gum and mints.
Ginger Ale and Upspring Stomach Settle lozenges, Target.
Essential Oils, Young Living. Lavender for any stress, tension or headaches. Peppermint for headaches. Lemon for nausea. Aroma Rings are super convenient and reusable. Both the Lavender and Aromaease rings were amazing for stress or to fight off nausea.
CBD Body Balm - 365 Brand, Whole Foods.
Heating pad and ice packs.
Eating high protein - I tried to get 90mg+ of protein per my midwives recommendation daily. When I did that my nausea was almost completely gone. See some easy high protein foods here.
I kept all of these items and basics like tissues, chapstick, hair ties and a water bottle in a storage cart next to my bed so I didn’t have to get up often when I didn’t feel well.
Most importantly, this verse carried me through the uncertainty and anxiety of the first trimester:
”Unless the Lord builds a house,
the work of the builders is wasted.
Unless the Lord protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do no good.
It is useless for you to work so hard
from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
for God gives rest to his loved ones.”
Psalm 127
