I was told to try peppermints or oyster crackers to stave it off. The crackers helped a bit.<br /> Ask your OB for a good prenatal vitamin with iron. I'm always borderline anemic anyway, and being pregnant made me so tired and weak, I could barely function.<br /> Also, make sure you drink lots of water! I got severely dehydrated with my son, even though I thought I was drinking plenty, but was making glasses of water, taking a sip, and getting busy and discarding them for a new one, counting those sips as whole glasses (mommy brain + stressful job = derp! lol) <br />Are you getting an ultrasound at your appointment? Seeing the baby, you don't think it'll make it any more "real", but it totally does! Hearing the heartbeat is one of those things I can still hear in my mind, and my babies are 8 and 10! Oh, and you'll start feeling those little kicks soon! My girl kicked early, my boy, much later, but I think that's just their personalities, either way, it was awesome! My girl loved to play peekaboo at home (I'd sit by a lamp and raise my shirt every time she moved, and she'd freeze until I lowered it again. We'd spend hours doing this <3 )<br />Can you tell I'm excited for you? :DVivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826602020618471581noreply@blogger.com
