What symptoms are you experiencing? I've been noticing a metallic taste in my mouth, feeling fatigued, having a decreased appetite, and dealing with reflux all day. I'm unsure if my prenatal vitamins are making things worse 😔 I'm hesitant to take omeprazole, as the discomfort is quite severe throughout the day but I don’t want to take anything that might hurt the baby
Do these symptoms ever improve? Which trimester is typically the most challenging in terms of symptoms?
I'm worried that I'll be dealing with these issues for the entire pregnancy 😔

First trimester was hell and about 12 weeks it started getting better for sure I’m currently in my second trimester and the only big problem I’m having is ligament hip and back pain and it takes forever to get comfortable when trying to sleep I’m nervous because I hear the third trimester becomes hell again

First trimester was horrible for me ! I through up my whole first trimester leading into second a little , but it’s goes away ! definitely had some food aversions and was kinda scared to eat for a little while because of the vomiting. I think the first is typically the worst especially if your body hasn’t been through a pregnancy . If your vitamins are making them worse my doctor just said ease off of them and try to take them when you can , that could be twice a week or ounce until the sickness subsides . Also ask your doctor for zofran (nausea medication) the dissolvable ones work in 10-20 seconds. Every momma is different but my symptoms did go away , I’m 23 weeks now ! n the sickness went away but now I’m having pains with belly stretching and pelvic/hip floor pain which suckkks 😩. For me it’s one thing or another 😂

First trimester had me fighting for my life, nausea/vomiting, food aversions, metallic taste, exhaustion, but it got so much better by 11/12 weeks for me and pretty much every symptom went away by 15/16 weeks. I’ve heard that if there’s iron in your prenatal it can irritate your stomach more! I took unisom for my nausea and that helped a ton. But it hopefully will pass for you too!
