Had my 1st appointment this week. Turned out to be great!!! I had some spotting for the first time that morning so the doctor did an ultrasound which they normally wouldn't do since I am so early so I got to see my little peanut! And based on the size determined a more accurate due date - November 13th Chat Icon

So here are some tips that have already helped me:

For constipation - the midwife suggested i drink hot liquids in the morning (no coffee or tea with caffeine). I have been drinking hot water with a couple of drops of lemon juice each morning since tuesday and it has helped. still get a little stopped up based on what i eat but it helps. she also suggested eating more fruits and vegetables (which i already knew i needed to do) and drinking about 3 liters of water a day

For heartburn - avoid peppermint - including tea. she suggested ginger or any herbal tea that is licorice tasting like fennel.

For my hemorroid - she suggested sticking a witch hazel pad in the freezer than on the hemorroid for a couple of hours.

Hope this helps! feel free to add...
