Pregnancy symptoms: Constipation, nausea/vomiting, heartburn, fatigue, and moodiness are all common symptoms in first trimester. Try these: - Small frequent meals all day long to help with nausea, including something as soon as you wake up. - Add a B6 vitamin 25 mg 3 times per day. - Antacid as needed 3 times per day forheartburn. - Increase fiber + water for constipation, with over the counter docusate if needed

Hyperemesis: Vomiting and heartburn could be the manifestation of Hyperemesis Gravidarum, therefore you should visit your Ob/Gyn. For constipation you can try Miralax (polyethylene glycol) 17 gm daily and drink lot of water. Thanks
