Symptoms of pregnancy can bring about elation in the expecting parents but its not all plain sailing even from the very beginning. The expecting mother will have to deal with a variety of changes in her body so its good to have some basic understanding as to what could happen and why it does.
Pregnancy can leave you emotionally exhausted at times. One moment you are feeling exhilarated and then the next you may be feeling exhausted and anxious. Having these emotions to deal with on a regular basis can add to emotional stress levels.
There are lots of things to consider after becoming pregnant so its no wonder that at times you will feel worried and upset about seemingly small matters.
Is the baby okay " gaining the right weight; too big/too small; is it going to be premature, or maybe late; am I taking the right supplements in the right amounts; am I eating correctly...? So many questions to wonder about for both mother and lets not forget father too.
In the first two weeks after conception there will be a hormonal trigger which will allow mothers body to begin nourishing the baby, and this will occur before any examination can confirm actual pregnancy. Among the most common physical changes are the following:
1.Increased breast sensitivity. This is due to increased hormonal activity. The breasts will probably feel heavier and fuller. This sensitivity can be relieved somewhat with a good bra at the correct size.
2.Increases in breast sensitivity. This is brought about by the increase in hormonal activity and the breasts will be heavier and more full. Using a good quality and well fitting bra can help to reduce any discomfort.
3.High fatigue levels. The body will be producing more blood as a measure to support the pregnancy and as such the heart will be pumping faster and the pulse rises. While at the same time more intense emotions do affect energy levels. Rest often and ensure a good intake of both protein and iron. Have a brisk walk each and every day or increase your physical activity in other gentle ways.
4.Dizziness. Energy levels and blood sugar levels will rapidly change bringing about the possible onset of occasional dizziness. In this situation, try to avoid standing still for long. Keep healthy snacks close by to help maintain blood sugar levels. These can include low-fat yogurt and dried fruits for example. If dizziness is persistent then do consult your physician.
5.Breast sensitivity increase. Again, increased hormonal activity is often the cause of this symptom where the breasts will feel more full and heavier. A good fitting bra that offers good levels of support can help to somewhat alleviate sensitivity in the breasts.
