What are the strange symptoms in a pregnancy?

What are the rare symptoms of pregnancy in the first days? When you are pregnant but you still do not know it (or yes) you can begin to perceive certain symptoms that you should take into account, but I am not referring to the classic symptoms that we all know such as nausea or the lack of menstruation, I mean other symptoms strangers, those who do not tell you but who feel and suffer when the pregnancy begins.

Although they do not have to be general, they are common. They are strange symptoms that can occur in a pregnancy and that you should pay special attention to. If after reading this article you have not found the strange symptoms that characterized your pregnancy or that is characterizing it right now ... do not hesitate to tell us your symptoms!

Nasal congestion

One of the rare symptoms of pregnancy in the first days that passed me was nasal congestion, it seemed like I had a cold but nothing of that. You should not take any medication to relieve it but you can use natural remedies to make it go away, such as relieve it with a seawater solution.

You may also find blood in your nose and that at night you snore. This will be caused by the inside of the mucosa as your nose also swells from hormones. The swelling will decrease the air circulation area. You can also find yourself with a drier nose, especially in winter. Remember that saline solutions can be great, although you can also use a humidifier in your home.

Change in vaginal discharge

It is possible that your vaginal discharge changes and you begin to notice that it increases, but do not worry because this is common, normal and healthy. The amount will increase, but you only have to look for any change in color or smell. If you see that your vaginal discharge becomes too strange, see your doctor immediately.

If you do not have a vaginal infection, you are probably used to having a whitish vaginal discharge that is changing throughout the menstrual cycle and that you do not usually give it greater importance. When you have an infection, the vaginal discharge can change a lot and, in addition to having a bad smell, it can even change color, turning green, bluish, yellowish and with an unusual texture. In addition, you will quickly know that you have an infection because you will notice discomfort in the vagina from itching to itching when urinating.

Signs that you might be pregnant

But if you have become pregnant, a symptom to add to the list is the change in your vaginal discharge.. You may suddenly notice it more abundant (and it has nothing to do with an infection). They are losses of cervical mucus that happens due to the hormonal changes that the woman's body has as a result of having become pregnant.

Insomnia

Normally you will have sleep during the day but when night comes you won't really want to sleep. But you should know that the most common symptoms of pregnancy are tiredness and sleep, so if you suffer from insomnia it may be a symptom that you should worry about, especially when you have the inability to fall asleep or not being able to sleep when you have woken up due to example to urinate.

You can try to do relaxation or meditation in order to find the peace that helps you sleep, although another option is to do moderate exercise during the day (depending on your capacity according to your state of pregnancy) to reach the most tired night.

Insomnia or difficulty falling asleep can also be a rare symptom in early pregnancy. There are many women who suffer from a sleep disorder during early pregnancy. It can be excessive drowsiness or insomnia. This will make the woman feel fatigued during the day, something very uncomfortable to bear, especially if she is a woman who has to fulfill work obligations. That is why it is important to find ways to sleep better.

Acidity

In my pregnancy I had heartburn from the first month and until the moment my baby was born, yes ... it was to end the delivery and the heartburn disappeared by magic. But during pregnancy there was no remedy or anything that could calm me down.

Many say that when the baby is big it tightens the pit of the stomach and that is why it gives heartburn, but in the first month the fetus is small and does not squeeze anything, it just appeared ... and stayed.

Belching and gas

Gas and belching are very common since there is an overload in the digestive system, so it is better that you follow a balanced diet and that you also eat in small quantities but many times a day. You will also have to look at foods that do not give you gas or burps, avoiding for example chickpeas, beans or broccoli.

Constipation

Constipation is another of the strange but very common symptoms in pregnancy, since hormones affect the gut making it work slower. To combat it and not cause a problem, you will have to do moderate exercise, drink a lot of water and above all, eat foods that are rich in fiber.

Swollen gums

You may find that along with other parts of the body, your gums are more inflamed than necessary. This occurs due to changes in progesterone and estrogen levels, but also due to increased blood flow through your body. The gums can bleed you even when you're not brushing. It is very important to maintain good oral hygiene at all times.

Changes in the skin

You have probably heard that pregnant women can have acne due to hormones, sensitivity to the sun, darkening of the skin (especially near the nipples, on the face or on the linea alba). If you notice that spots start to appear in areas of the skin that normally rub against clothing, I advise you to take sunscreen on sensitive skin.

Feet grow

It does not happen to all women, but I know cases that women, once they have been mothers and have already had their ankles and feet swollen from pregnancy, their feet have grown. This it's because of the relaxin It loosens the pelvic ligaments to allow the baby to come out, but it can have an effect on the joints of the feet forever.

You have too much hair

The hair on the head will be beautiful, resplendent and full of vitality. But the same hormones that will help you get ad hair will also make you horrified to see how suddenly you can start to seeing hair in areas where there was none before like on the chin, upper lip and even around the nipples.

You will have to have a good pair of tweezers always on hand to get rid of those pesky unwanted hairs.

Weakness and feeling faint

These rare pregnancy symptoms in the early days would go beyond normal fatigue and can be a sign of anemia. If you don't have any energy, you may not be getting enough iron in your diet. Anemia in pregnancy (iron deficiency anemia) can be corrected with daily iron supplements, always prescribed by the doctor.

You hate foods that you used to love

The hormonal changes They can make your body act in strange ways and make you feel nauseous from foods that you once found delicious. The sense of smell has also changed you and you can feeling disgusted towards some foods.
