Remember the days when you were on the bathroom floor with your face over the toilet? You were holding your hair back and just thinking that you would rather die than deal with the nausea and sickness you were going through? I am not talking about the hangovers when you were in college. I am talking about that wonderful first trimester when you are newly pregnant.

Pregnancy is tough. It is the most beautiful thing in the world, yet it can wreak havoc on your body for nine months. Some women breeze through the whole pregnancy with hardly any symptoms, yet others are nausaus and sick from the time the line turns pink on the pregnancy test.
