From Nausea to relief, the magic of chia seeds during my pregnancy

Welcome to my blog. In this story I will be telling you how chia seeds helped me during the first trimester of my pregnancy.
The first 12 weeks of my pregnancy felt like I was fighting my own body every passing day not until I got to learn about chia seeds.

I usually wake up with churning stomach, trying to eat something and will end up vomiting them all out due to one reason or the other. One minutes I will have appetite for food and another minutes the food will taste and looks horrible.

If I am not nauseous I will be constipated. Not free time no comfort.

Food that I used to love suddenly becomes some thing else, no more favourites food.
At the same time, I was advised to eat for two but I wasn't able to eat for one, let alone eating for two.

One night I picked up my phone, scrolling and searching for help because I believed there would definitely be something that will helped during the first trimester.

I kept seeing people talking about chia seeds and I was wondering how this tiny seeds can works magic. I was skeptical and didn't want anything that will affect me and my baby.

Due to desperation, I try it and it works perfectly for me.

How I got started?

I started by taking just a teaspoon of chia seeds and soaked it with a glass of water, I add 1 teaspoon of lime and a tiny piece of ginger.

I crushed the ginger and I added it to the mixture and drink it.

I made research on lime and ginger and found that it wasn't dangerous for me and the baby so I go ahead and used it.

I took a sip of it little by little while listening to how I will react to it. I noticed I wasn't throwing up even do it was tasteless, it all went down easily without any disturbance.

After taking it for the first and second day, I started noticing that I was no longer bloated as before and within a week I was feeling very light and comfortable.

The nausea, the bloating and vomiting completely disappeared though I still had light morning sickness which was very easy for me to manage. In fact to me it was nothing since I knew that morning sickness was part of the symptoms in first trimester.

What Change did I experience?

I am not saying that chia seeds cured my morning sickness but it made it easier for me and my activities were not disturbed. I ate whatever I wanted to eat. So I can say that chia seed improved my digestion. At this point I said goodbye to bloated stomach and constipation.

I noticed that my nausea got lighter and better, I was not feeling sluggish as before.

There are other ways to use chia seeds even when you are not pregnant but that how I used my own.

If you want to use this seed in your first trimester please talk to your doctor before trying out this seed. Because what works for me might not work for you since our body differs.

First trimester of pregnancy is uncomfortable, messy, and honestly it is sometimes scary. When I found out that seed, that made it easier for me, it was like a big win to me.

Please note that chia seeds will not fix everything for you during your pregnancy journey but as for me, they turned a morning sickness to something I could handle and continue my day to day activities without messing it up for me.
