Pregnancy Symptoms

Pregnancy and then child birth are among the most unique and extraordinary experiences a woman may go through. There are a large number of pregnancy symptoms that appear sooner or later with the baby nestling in the uterus. I will start by pointing out how important it can be to deal with shifts of mood and emotional swings. Feelings such as doubt, happiness, excitement and fear are some very common pregnancy psychological symptoms. Many women who want to keep a vivid memory of the emotions they go through choose to keep pregnancy journals or baby diaries, on paper or online.
The pregnancy symptoms that are common in the first trimester (between week 1 and week 2) are those that seem to have the strongest psychological impact on the future mother. Then there is the morning sickness, which is more frequent in the morning, yet it may appear at any time throughout the day. Drinking lemonade, eating light meals during the day may help you deal with this pregnancy symptom. Then changes occur in the way your entire body feels. Breasts become tender and slightly swollen at the beginning, and then the nipples and the areola get darker and larger. Urination becomes more frequent, and you may also suffer from constipation and heartburn.
Now let’s turn to the second trimester (week 13 to week 26) pregnancy symptoms. Your whole body has gone major changes by now. You start to put on weight and you perceive the first movements of your baby. By now your breasts must have doubled volume and a small amount of fluid may come out of your nipples. Don’t worry; it is a natural pregnancy symptom that indicates your body is getting closer to breast feeding. As the blood flow has increased with 50% in your body, you may experience nosebleeds. Some pregnancy symptoms women find very unpleasant are the varicose veins that may appear and a “mask”, a dark pigmentation area on your face. (It disappears when the pregnancy is over.)
There are not too many pregnancy symptoms left to take you by surprise in the third trimester. Now the fetus movements are noticeable from the outside. Your navel pushes out and you may start suffering from backaches. As the fetus gets bigger, you walk a bit more difficultly as you have to adapt to the baby’s weight. The symptoms that show your pregnancy is almost over are the practice contractions you may start to experience, combined with breath shortness. Finally, labor and delivery! May you have the healthiest of babies!
