Mummy symptoms

Hi Mums, my wife is aged 33 & in her 12th week. She is already experiencing, bloating, bad appetite, leg cramps, neck aches, sleepless nights & frequent urination ever since 6th week. Is this normal? When we check with the doc, he says nothing can be done & symptoms differ from people to people. Wanted to bring her for a neck & shoulder massage but many places would not do it. Older folks even told us that I should not give her a massage as we do not know by pressing the wrong nerve, it might cause miscarriages. We are even told, we cannot use heat plaster. I am really at a lost on what we should do. It pains me to be not able to do anything when my wife is complaining. Sometimes, I even ask myself if we should have been more careful. (We however do love kids) Regards, A lost Daddy to be..

1. For bloating: monitor what will cause it or worsen it. Some safe food that you are careful with does not mean her body accept it. Avoid that first to feel better. Of cos. "cold" food like Chinese white cabbages and cold drinks should stop. Sometimes tea too. 2. Ru yi you/moderate use of peppermint: I use ru yi you / eagle brand eucalyptus oild for my tummy almost everyday for bloating. N Abit of peppermint oil ( edible grade) on my calves Everytime before I sleep, with hubs massage. It helps to stopped my cramps. 3. Mild strolling/stretching helps abit too. After meal for digestion n for the legs. 1st trim is usually like that. Will be getter.
