1st Trimester Things

Question

Im in my 1st Tri now & in need of some feedbacks.1. Anyone else have hyper sensitive sense of smell that literally the sniff of anything makes you feel like vomitting? What & how do you control it? 😭2. My lower leg/calf aches everyday. I thought this will happen in later stage like end of 2nd Tri or 3rd Tri. Why do I feel the aches so soon? 😭3. Do you ever feel like eating something but when the food or meal is in front of you, you lost your appetite? This is just so sad! 😭4. When the plain water that I drink daily before being pregnant, now tastes one kind of weird & now I cant even take a single gulp. I have tried lemon infused water, juices but end up drinking only a little as everything will taste too sweet/too sour/too bitter. Im really disheartened as I know my body needs fluids. What do you mummies drink?Will appreciate all feedbacks/comments/advises in advance! ❤️

1. Yes! Even with my first pregnancy. I told my husband about "pregnant superpowers" when our sense of smell is stronger. Even something smells nice and can be overpowering. I just walk away if I can, use less perfume, Tell my husband to not sit so close coz his deodarant smell is too strong 😅etc. 2. I only encounter calf cramps since 1st trimester with my current pregnancy. I wear compression socks to sleep, and it helps a lot. Just normal compressions socks from Guardian kind. 3. Sometimes, but I trudge on if I can, at least smaller portions. 4. Sometimes for me. When I feel that way, I clean my bottle and get fresh, cool, boiled water to refill. Or just drink normal flavoured drink to reset.
