Now that I can safely say that I am over the common first trimester symptoms I can look back with a smile on my face. I did experience a lot of the common symptoms but for the most part I was lucky with the symptoms that I got. Here is the list: Nausea Indigestion Heartburn Constipation Drowsiness My nausea was the worst symptom that I encountered. I would be held up on the couch for hours unable to do anything. Luckily, I never got to the vomiting except one time. The one time that I actually vomited was when I was giving blood around week 5. I was able to still eat my normal foods so I did not loose any weight like most women tend to do. I didn't eat nearly as much as I normally did but at least I was still able to eat something. Matthew went many nights trying to find something for dinner because I was feeling too bad to cook or even stand for the amount of time needed to be able to cook something. I also got lucky with the timing of my first trimes
