I do not like to talk about the 'discomforts' of pregnancy in these terms, because I consider that it is a very beautiful stage of life that we should live fully, since it only lasts nine months, and no matter how long they take you, once you have at baby in arms is over. Prefer refer to certain symptoms as discomforts, natural while the woman is pregnant, which implies many changes at the cellular and corporal level; that is, most of them are due to hormones.
The most frequent complaints during first quarterThey are nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, breast pain, swelling, increased salivation, and uterine discomfort. In a certain way, some of them could be confused with premenstrual syndrome, at least until the pregnancy is confirmed; although there are women who do not need any test, because they accurately intuit that a baby is 'on the way'. You know that if you are trying to get pregnant, you will buy a test from the pharmacy at the first fault, however, it is advisable to be patient, especially if your periods are not regular. Probably before you know it true, doubts arise because those pains in the lower abdomen make you suspect about menstruation, relax and - above all - start taking care of yourself very seriously.
Other sensations or symptoms you may feel are a stuffy nose, headaches, increased appetite, or mood swings.
Tiredness and drowsiness
Between week 0 and week 12 of a pregnancy, there are so many body changes and cell divisions, in addition to the formation of the baby, that it would be strange if all this did not result in an obvious feeling of fatigue. It is one of the symptoms that will not disappear as the pregnancy progresses, since months later, the increase in the volume of the mother's belly, and the movements of the baby, also cause a certain feeling of fatigue.
If your body asks you to restListen to him, surely you will find many opportunities to lie down on the couch, and even take a short nap. Also, think that if you are a newcomer, there is a good chance that after childbirth it will be almost impossible for you to sleep as you did before you got pregnant, so look for opportunities to rest.
Nausea and vomiting
Not all pregnant women suffer from them, and not all those who face nausea, have it with the same intensity. It can happen at any time of the day, although are more frequent in the morning. I have read that half of pregnant women have nausea, often turned into vomiting. Again the responsibility is of the hormones, because it is attributed to the elevation of progesterone and chorionic gonadotropin, this type of discomfort.
If this happens to you, you should divide the meals, and eat more frequently, without increasing amounts; It is also useful to drink a lot of water and avoid very fatty, spicy or fried foods. During pregnancy, eating It should be very balanced, increasing the contribution of fresh fruits and vegetables to improve your energy; and try to provide your body with simple carbohydrates in order to combat this nausea. If they occur while you are still in bed in the morning, you can have a cookie on hand, and eat it by chewing well while you stretch sitting up in bed.
Breast pain and swelling
In addition to the pain, you will be able to accuse a lot of sensitivity in the breasts, due to the mammary glands and (again) to the hormones. The organism prepares for the baby's arrival, and the breasts also undergo changes, since in a natural way, they will be responsible for feeding the newborn. Their appearance also changes: softer, with the areola darker and covered with granites, ..
The breasts swell, and in general other parts of the body as well, and not only because your gut will grow as the uterus distends, but these muscle stretches cause congestion of body fluids. It stands to reason that you will need a further size of clothing, as well as - probably - bigger and more comfortable bras.
Pregnancy is not a disease, and you must see all these changes as natural, although to stay more calm, you can consult your midwife. You don't have to do anything about your mood swings other than be aware; and if you feel very congested, you can sanitize the nostrils with saline solution. Remember to take good care of yourself and not to resort to medications in any presentation, except by prescription of the doctor.
Finally, I must emphasize that if you have just become pregnant and manifest any of the discomforts that I have mentioned, you shouldn't worry at allI imagine that in this you will agree with me, because the desire to meet your baby turns the discomfort into simple different sensations. Although it is also possible that you hardly notice any change, in that case you can allow yourself to enjoy perhaps a little more of your state.
