Some details about pregnancy symptoms
Tender breasts are generally due to i ncreased hormonal production that can make the breasts unusually sensitive. The pregnant woman feels that her breasts to be fuller and heavier. Wearing a more supportive brasserie or a sports brasserie might help.
Feeling of nausea is quite common. Many women have queasiness, nausea and/or vomiting in early pregnancy stage and this is again due to normal hormonal alterations. Nausea inclines to be worse in the morning, but it can remain throughout the day. To help relieving this pregnancy symptom, eating small, frequent meals all the day and sucking on hard candy with some ginger ale or ginger tea is useful. Lemon and peppermint also help but she should avoid foods or smells that make her symptoms bad.
Unusual fatigue or feeling tired is also common. The body is making significantly more hormones and requires time for adapting to these changes. Additionally, plentiful energies and resources are being spent on building the fetus. One might feel tired, exhausted even, and might want to sleep all across the day.
This pregnancy symptom can begin as early as one week after copulation. A pregnant woman should start to gain her energy back once she approaches the second trimester, although fatigue may return in some period in second trimester (around 7th month) itself.
Increased micturation is what that troubles pregnant woman a lot since she needs to urinate more often as her enlarging uterus puts pressure onto the bladder during the first few months of pregnancy. The same pressure can produce her to leak urine when sneeze, cough or laugh. To help preventing urinary tract infections, passing urine whenever she feels the needs to. If she is losing sleep because of middle-of-the-night bathroom visits, drinking less fluid in the evening is quite helpful. If she is worried about leaking urine, panty liners can help in a sense of security.
Dizziness is quite common but woman might get too worried. Dizziness in early pregnancy should be taken seriously if it is too much. For improving the blood flow to the fetus, mother’s blood vessels relax and widen (because of pregnancy hormonal changes). As side effects, her blood pressure drops and makes her extremely lightheaded. The dizziness is quite common in the first trimester, but dizziness can occur later in her pregnancy as well since her growing uterus puts the pressure on several of her blood vessels, markedly obstructing the blood flows, especially while lying down.
The pregnant woman should not skip any meals, and rather should eat several small meals throughout the day for reducing all the above symptoms. However, a pregnant woman should see prompt care if the dizziness is very much and happens with abdominal pains or vaginal bleedings. This might indicate an ectopic pregnancy, a condition wherein the fertilized ovum implants itself other than inside the uterus. For preventing life-threatening complications, the ectopic establishment is to be removed.
