In some pregnant women, there will be a ravenous hunger upto the 8th or 9th week of pregnancy and suddenly there might be a feeling of fulness even after eating only a small quantity of food in the first trimester itself. So the medical practitioner might recommend eating smaller portions of food more frequently. The feeling of nausea combined with feeling hungry is one of the worst feeling during the first trimester. Some pregnant women have a craving for protein rich foods like egg, meat etc during the first trimester while some other pregnant women might feel a strong aversion to meat in the first trimester. The craving for red meat might also be an indication of deficiency of iron.

Orgasms even without actual penetration in the first trimester (around 8 to 11 weeks) might cause a little bit of spotting (light brown or red blood ) and penetration might cause some bleeding from the cervix. If there is heavy bleeding with pain, it is better to consult the doctor.

Some pregnant women are likely to have anxiety attacks in the first trimester ( from around the fifth week ) and might feel that they are going crazy. Some of the pregnant ladies will worry if they are pregnant at all in spite of the BFP and might worry that they are not getting any of the first trimester pregnancy symptoms ( or that the pregnancy symptoms are weak / not strong ) they have read about on the internet or heard about from their friends. Some of the pregnant women will be very worried about the health of their baby as well. Trying to get more hours of undisturbed sleep might be useful in reducing the anxiety. Moderate amounts of exercise might also be useful to reduce anxiety.

Moderate amounts of exercise is good for pregnant ladies as long as the pregnant woman was comfortable with the exercise before she became pregnant. But be careful to avoid higher amounts of heat buildup especially in the first trimester.It is better to consult the medical practitioner about the exercise if the pregnant lady is not sure of the risks of the exercise or if there is a history of miscarriages or if the pregnancy is higher risk ( with medical complications ) . It is best to avoid exercises in the supine position (lying on the back ) ( especially after the first trimester ). Some of the likely benefits of moderate exercise might be felt during labour and  childbirth. Other benefits may be reduction in constipation , improved sleeping, higher energy levels, reduction of depression etc.

GERD ( Gastroesophageal reflux disease ) symptoms include a burning sensation in the chest / throat region ( called heartburn ). Slower digestion during pregnancy combined with the valve / muscle connecting the esophagus and stomach being affected by pregnancy hormones ( like progesterone ) leading to acids leaking from the stomach which give the burning feeling called heartburn. Eating smaller meals more number of times might be helpful in reducing heartburn.

Because of the increased blood supply during pregnancy and effects of hormones, some pregnant women are likely to experience nose bleeds and also bleeding from the gums . Some pregnant women are likely to feel mild dizziness / fainting during the first trimester because sometimes the pregnancy hormones cause low blood pressure leading to lesser blood flow to the brain.

Brief cramps similar to menstrual cramps might be felt by some pregnant women around the seventh week of pregnancy. Some pregnant women might experience sudden increase in the cup sizes of their bra ( around 3 to 5 cup sizes more in as many weeks  from around the fifth week ) due to increase in the size of their breasts  in the first trimester. Tenderness in the breasts is also felt during the first trimester.

Avoiding coffee in the afternoons and not using sugary foods at night combined with a warm shower before going to bed might be helpful for getting more sleep at night.

Women suffering from allergies have to be extra careful during pregnancy. They will worry if their allergy medicines can be used when they are pregnant, It is better to consult the medical practitioner about the use of oral decongestants and some of the medicines which contain a mixture of decongestants and antihistamine. Some of them have been associated with birth defects.
