one reason why the wife and i spent so much time preparing a birth plan is that after she got pregnant, we wanted to avoid the first trimester nausea, so we started researching and reading the literature turns out first trimester nausea is driven by hormones the placenta produces (mainly GDF15 and hCG), but what makes it worse for most women is blood sugar instability. pregnancy lowers maternal fasting glucose, so if the stomach gets empty overnight or in the morning, nausea gets significantly worse which means eating crackers or cookies in the morning doesn’t help, you’re spiking and crashing blood sugar when you need stability what the research shows is that protein reduce nausea better than carbs. what worked for us was a protein and fat rich meal before bed (to sustain blood sugar overnight), then good carbs and fats as soon as she wakes up before the crash hits it may have been luck, but it helped a lot and the wife almost never suffered from first trimester nausea when we went to the gynecologist and asked about nausea prevention, she said “it’s normal, you just have to deal with it”, and that’s how we realized we had to do most on our own

I don't love it. I'm actually considerably less tolerant of loud kids in public now than I was before I had my own. Your children should not be allowed to disrupt a church service, or any other public gathering. If they're being unruly, remove them. If they're old enough to know better, take them out and discipline them. If they're too young to control themselves, then again remove them. I've had to do this many times in many situations. It blows my mind when parents just sit there and let their kids totally disrupt and irritate an entire room full of strangers.
