Pregnancy Symptoms

I've been reading about different aspects of pregnancy pretty much every day. I have two books: "Your Vegetarian Pregnancy" and "What to Expect When Expecting". I also read from a plethora of websites and have an app on my iphone, called "Pregnancy" from BabyCenter. The topics cover basic pregnancy info, fetal development, key nutrients, other pregnant women's thoughts and experiences and lots of pregnancy symptoms.

Not knowing how I would feel before getting pregnant, I expected to feel all the symptoms I was reading about. In the beginning, the main one I wasn't looking forward to was nausea and vomiting. My frame of reference aside from the reading was remembering my old boss puking pretty much every day when she was pregnant. Poor thing would come to work, throw up in the parking lot and then conduct business as usual with a red face and watery eyes between running to the bathroom and her office. I was not looking forward to that.

Luckily for me, I made it through my first trimester without puking once. I think I gagged twice and that was it. I would begin to feel nauseous if I didn't have something in my stomach, but as soon as I would start feeling that way, I would eat a little snack and then it would subside. I wouldn't think that would feel like the natural thing to do. I mean, who want to cook when you're feeling nauseous? But, what works, works.
