Pregnancy symptom
Pregnancy Symptoms and Early Signs: Early symptoms and signs of pregnancy differ from woman to woman. The time of onset and degree of symptoms may vary from woman to woman. Many women experience them from the time of conception, while for others it takes a few weeks to start, and a lucky few do not feel discomfort at all. The early pregnancy symptoms usually start when implantation takes place. This usually happens at around 8 - 10 days from ovulation. The symptoms might ease considerably after the first trimester. A missed menstrual cycle is usually the first pregnancy symptom. Tender Sore and swollen breasts with a tingling sensation, nausea or morning sickness which can start as early as two weeks before an expected menstrual period, extreme fatigue can be early signs of pregnancy. Spotting is also common when the egg implants itself into the lining of the uterus. However, if you know you are pregnant and you experience spotting check in with your doctor immediately. A possible cause for bleeding is an ectopic pregnancy, or tubal pregnancy. Bleeding from an ectopic pregnancy is the most dangerous cause of first trimester bleeding, so a qualified medical practitioners opinion is essential. Some pregnant women experience light-headedness and even actual fainting during early pregnancy. Hormonal changes can affect the digestive system and cause constipation, while heartburn is also common, caused by hormonal changes. Frequent urination during the first month of pregnancy is an early pregnancy symptom. If you have any of these pregnancy symptoms, be sure to take a pregnancy test. If the result is positive it is important to receive prenatal care immediately. By the 2nd month, the baby’s weight is almost one ounce. By the third month, the fetal heartbeat can be head and you can know if you are carrying twins. Prenatal care now includes calcium and folic acid supplements to provide necessary nutrients and prevent birth defects. Mild weight gain and mood swings are other associated occurrences in this time.
Earliest care: A miscarriage could be starting if you are having heavy bleeding or cramps in the early months. At the first sign of either of these symptoms, immediately contact your health care professional. If he is unavailable for some reason, head for the nearest emergency room. The fetus is usually still inside the uterus, but things could go wrong. This can happen due to a urinary tract infection, by dehydration, use of certain drugs or medications, and physical trauma. It can also occur if the developing fetus is abnormal or, seemingly, for no reason at all. Miscarriages are generally not started by heavy lifting or normal sexual activity, or emotional stress. Vaginal discharge increases around the 10-11 weeks stage of pregnancy. It’s common for vaginal discharge to increase and even vary in texture and color. This discharge, which becomes increasing abundant during pregnancy, is called leucorrhoea. Sometimes this discharge can be thick and creamy, and sometimes it’s thin and slimy. Unless you notice burning, itchiness and/or a rotten smell, there is nothing to be concerned about.
