What's in your 1st-tri survival kit?

As I sit here trying not to vomit while simultaneously craving a Jersey Mike's turkey and provolone sub, I  am wondering what things you all might have found that helped get you through the first trimester nasties!

Me:
Preggie Pop Drops (basically sour hard candies)
Gatorade (drinking this in the middle of the night helped a ton with my nausea)
Ikea Straws (drinking 5 liters of water a day is hard, straws help me drink more!)
Trader Joe's tart cherry juice (looks JUST like pinot noir in a wine glass....also helped me sleep)
Kiwi with the skin still on (yes you can eat the skin and boy did it help me with constipation)

Saltines in my nightstand for first thing in the morning

Gin-gins candies

Tums - oh the heartburn!

A big glass of milk before bed

Lots and lots of carbs

So much sleep - I can't even begin to describe the exhaustion

1. All the water!
2. My bed
3. Netflix!! shows like "Call the midwife" (started watching to pass the time by cuz it's clearly frozen, love love love it)
4. Bacon
5. Gym in the morning helps me from feeing sick in the AM and gives me energy to get through my day with a toddler

Oh god I forgot about heartburn booklover811, thanks for the reminder! Putting Tums on my shopping list!

I drank a lot of ginger root tea, Gatorade, snacks every few hours and tums were all on my list. And Mama Mio Tummy rub butter!

Candied ginger is my go to for nausea. Also just try to keep food in my stomach so I don't get super hungry. I feel like hunger pushes me in to feeling nauseated.

I was lucky and had minimal symptoms with DD in the first tri but I did have a few "needs". I like lemon juice or fruit in water to spice it up. Sprite or Sprite Zero for my occasional caffeine free drink. Tums for heartburn. Pickles, just because that's my #1 crave 24/7.

So far I feel lucky and have minimal symptoms. I'm trying to be good and eat well and exercise. I'm only 4 weeks along, but by this point with my pregnancy with DD I was so sick all the time. It will be interesting to see what changes over the next several weeks, but I'm hopeful for an easier pregnancy this time around.

Oh and I forgot, I also used mint gum a lot because I got car sick with my second even when I was driving.

Stretchy pants. I'm bloated AF.
Ginger ale
Peppermint tea and ginger tea
I've been trying to hold off on the carbs, but my tummy wasn't feeling my morning smoothie. It's time to get saltines/toast.

Not much for symptoms so far, but that's how I was with DS too. Drinking enough water is my big issue, so +1 for adding fruit and lemon juice to help. Heartburn hasn't struck yet, but tums will be on standby. Only the chewy ones though, I can't do the regular chalky kind. I've also bought all my food cravings in bulk.
