 In this article we will tell you symptoms of pregnancy .You know that pregnancy is such a state in which a lot of hormones inside the body are being released. And due to them, our body' whole systems get affected.In today's article we will see,that all.

Lets see what the the important symptoms of pregnancy.

1.Missing Periods

First and foremost, missing periods.Meaning those who have regular periods, miss one suddenly.What you have to do is firstly get a pregnancy test.You can do them at home, or also at the clinic.

The second important symptom of pregnancy is

2.Nausea and Vomiting

Almost 80 to 85 percent women face nausea and vomiting in their early pregnancies.It is called morning sickness but it is not important that it only happens in the morning.It can happen at any time of the day, even at night,and mostly it reduces after the end of first trimester,meaning after 12 weeks of pregnancy, but some women face it for a longer time or even throughout their pregnancy.There are some women who do not feel nauseous and start to doubt the health of their pregnancy.You should know, 15 to 20 percent women do not have morning sickness during their pregnancy.So you should not worry too much over it.

3.Breast Tenderness

The third symptom of pregnancy is breast tendernessAfter about 1 month from missing you period,you feel it a lot but it reduces over time.This happens due to hormonal changes, where breast tissues grow and cause breast tenderness.

4.Tiredness and Fatigue

This too is a symptom of pregnancy.You might feel it more early in your pregnancy.You might feel tired all the time,or you might feel lazy and not wanting to do anything.Then it can be a symptom of pregnancy.

Now if we look at our respiratory system and how it is changing then you would feel like you are always out of breath, meaning breathlessness,because our respiratory rate increases.

Similarly, our circulatory system is expanding and our blood pressure reduces and many women complain that our blood pressure was fine before now its on the lower side.It happens due to changes because of pregnancy.The hormone progesterone relaxes the smooth muscles of our vessels which causes low blood pressure.Our heart rate increases we feel like we are having heart palpitations.These are all included in symptoms of pregnancy.

5.Heartburn

Meaning you would feel acidity in your stomach.This too happens in pregnancy and it happens in early days because our gastroesophageal sphincter relaxes and the contents of our stomach they slip upwards and irritate. In later pregnancy,as the uterus grows,it presses against the stomach that too causes heartburn.

6.Constipation

This is a very big problem in pregnancy.It happens more in early pregnancy,and as the pregnancy grows this problem reduces..

7.Frequent Urination

In early pregnancy our plasma volume is increasing so we have to urinate again and again.As the pregnancy proceeds,the uterus irritates the bladder which causes frequent urination.

8.Vaginal discharge

During pregnancy, vaginal discharge increases.It is white or transparent in appearance.This happens because blood supply to the cervix and vaginal wall rises.If you feel like your vaginal discharge is smelly,or it is causing itching,or it has a changed color then do consult with your doctor. Headaches.

It is very common.It is more during the early days then reduces.If you still have headaches after 20 weeks of pregnancy then do get your blood pressure and urine checked from your doctor.

 9.Sleeplessness

Many people start feeling that they can't sleep properly.That can happen due to disturbances caused by morning sickness or due to frequent urination. And in later pregnancy you can not sleep properly due to uterus pressure.We have made a video about this too from which you would learn what ways you can adopt that could give you a good night's sleep.We will share a link to it in our description box.

10.Swollen feet

This too is a normal thing in pregnancy.Many women complain about swollen feet but if you feel like the swelling on both your feet is not similar or you have some pain in feet or some discoloration then urgently consult with your doctor.

11.Skin changes

Your skin changes a lot during pregnancy, skin darkening,appearing of brown patches on the skin,or itching,or appearance of random spots on the skin.These skin changes are also due to hormonal changes.

12.Backache

Many people complain about back ache because the hormone progesterone relaxed the ligaments in our back which causes back ache during early pregnancy as well as in later pregnancy due to the weight of the baby.

13.Hemorrhoids

Many women complain that they encounter hemorrhoids during pregnancy.This happens because our smooth muscles of our vessels dilate under the affect of hormones and as the pregnancy proceeds the pressure of the uterus also affects this condition a lot.This is why the complaints of hemorrhoids increase commonly during pregnancy.What you have to do is prevent constipation from happening by using more water and taking care of your diet so that you don't face this problem at all.But if you are facing too much problem then consult your doctor immediately.

14.Varicose vein

Meaning, swollen appearance of the veins on the skin.It is seen in many women that varicose veins become common on the legs and genital areas in pregnancy.This too happens under the effect of progesterone. The vessels are dilated, and secondly when the uterus applies pressure the venous return towards the heart reduces.This causes the blood to pool in the lower body and the veins appear on the skin as swollen vessels. If this causes too much problem to you or pains then do consult with your doctor, because for this your doctor can suggest stockings or remedies or such sort.This usually fixes after deliver.

15.Wrist pain

Many women come in with the complain that their wrist pains and sometimes the pain is too unbearable for them.This is happening because there is water retention in our body, called edema, and that edema presses the nerves passing through here and this nerve supplying anywhere on this hand those areas can be numb or you could feel some pain as well.So for that what you have to do is that you can ask your doctor what way to use that this pain can reduce or that area that is getting numb, you can save yourself from it.
