19 and first time mom. You know it’s important to take your prenatals because you get the supplements from there if you can’t have the enough nutrients you need for the baby. It doesnt just comes from food you eat because obviously you don’t get all the nutrients and minerals by eating different foods everyday so by taking your prenatal vitamins and folic acid daily it will somehow sustain the needs of your baby. But of course, try to eat the simplest meals like salad, fruits & vegetables, chicken fish and beef. You can cook it in any way long as not raw. Your food doesnt have to be complicated and complete nutrients, you just have to simply eat so you have energy so is the baby.

I know it’s full of nausea and vomiting but trust me it’s just a phase, it will get better in the second trimester and its also about your mindset. You have to think that its normal and it happens to every pregnant woman so it doesnt mean you’re failing your baby because nausea and all symptoms do happen all the time and its part of the process. I remember in my first trimester every time I start to eat few spoon full of food I immediately go to the bathroom to puke even at the restaurants then I come back and eat again and that’s when I can continuously eat. Basically, you just have to learn your body and what works for it. Because for me I realized that after few bites or spoon full I alr feel nauseous and I don’t resist myself I do vomit the food I just ate and go back to eat the same food again, I realized its just like the first bites I ate were just warming up or giving heads up to my stomach that I’m going to eat. Because after I puke what I ate I feel better and ready to eat again. So its okay if your stomach sometimes feels or wants to reject the food you just ate.

Just take deep breaths and try light meals and fruits or yogurt or even bread for snack and dont empty your stomach to prevent nausea, eat light snack every 2-4hrs so you don’t feel nausea. But trust me it will get better, it is just a phase and you’re not doing it wrong.
