As happy as I was to be pregnant, pregnancy was not a joyous experience. I was sick the whole time & wound up losing more weight than I gained. It was the best "diet" I was ever on! ;) Ginger really helps with nausea. I made ginger tea several times a day. I also wore one of those motion sickness bracelets that presses on a pressure point in your wrist to ease the queesiness.
I completely understand the toothpaste thing! Sometimes I had to resort to brushing with just water & using a cinnamon mouthwash, but using cinnamon toothpaste was better than minty flavored.
My boobs were tender & painful thru the whole pregnancy. I could barely handle the shower hitting them. They were SUPER SENSITIVE as well!!
During the day I was exhausted, but every night I would lie there wide awake. Then once I did fall asleep, I would wake up around 3-4 a.m. feeling great & starving for Frosted Flakes!! lol That's one of the few good memories of my pregnancy! I truly hope yours goes better! Regardless of how ill I felt, it is the best experience I ever went thru & definately the best pay off!
