Do you have symptoms of back pain in early pregnancy?

Most women will experience some early pregnancy symptoms when they are pregnant, and the symptoms of early pregnancy are different for each person. Some women experience symptoms of back pain when they are pregnant. If there is no other discomfort in the body, this is generally normal. If you experience back pain, you must pay attention to rest more and avoid fatigue. You must strengthen your nutrition and eat more foods high in protein and vitamins.

When does the early pregnancy reaction start?

Some women worry about whether they are pregnant when their menstruation does not come when it is supposed to come, and even start to worry about when they will have early pregnancy reactions. So when do early pregnancy reactions start? Because each woman's physique is different, the timing of early pregnancy reactions will also be different. Generally, early pregnancy reactions can begin to appear four or five weeks after menstruation, but for most people, they begin to appear around six weeks, and the peak is around ten weeks. Generally, it is not until around the third month of pregnancy, which is about twelfth week after menstruation, that early pregnancy reactions will gradually subside.

As the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the body of pregnant women increases, pregnant women will experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting in the morning, loss of appetite, aversion to oil, and preference for sour food. We call this early pregnancy reaction. The time when early pregnancy reactions appear and when they stop are closely related to hCG.

Prevention of early pregnancy reactions

The degree of discomfort of early pregnancy reaction cannot be understood by those who have not experienced it personally. Therefore, pregnant women should try their best to alleviate this discomfort. The three major strategies for coping with early pregnancy reaction include psychological victory, dietary countermeasures and moderate exercise, including:

1. Psychological victory

Keep a relaxed and happy mood; teach yourself some health care knowledge to fully understand the reactions of early pregnancy and relieve the psychological burden. The thoughtfulness of the husband, relatives and the care of medical staff can relieve the mental worries of pregnant women and enhance their confidence in overcoming pregnancy reactions. In addition, a comfortable environment is also needed, which can often alleviate the symptoms.

2. Dietary strategies

Pay attention to the shape, color and taste of food, and change the size of food to stimulate appetite. Eat what you want when you can. Reduce the amount of food you eat each time and eat smaller and more frequent meals. Drinking more water and eating more foods rich in fiber and vitamin B1 can prevent constipation, which may aggravate the symptoms of early pregnancy. Improving the dining environment can change the mood and stimulate the appetite of pregnant women.

3. Moderate activity

You cannot think that you can just stay in bed all day just because you feel nausea and vomiting. Otherwise, it will only aggravate the early pregnancy reactions. If you move too little, symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, and fatigue will become more serious, which can easily create a vicious cycle. Appropriately participating in some light activities, such as outdoor walking, doing exercises for pregnant women, etc., can improve your mood, strengthen your body, and reduce early pregnancy reactions.

At the same time, we should start from the following three aspects:

First, keep your mood relaxed and happy. Morning sickness is just an instinctive reaction of the body to protect itself. If handled properly, it can be minimized and will not have any adverse effects on the fetus.

Second, adjust the diet reasonably. The diet for pregnant women should be nutritious, light and delicious, and easy to digest. When it comes to taste, there is no need to be too taboo and you can try your best to take into account the eating habits and preferences of pregnant women. Alcohol should be strictly prohibited.

Third, moderate exercise can also help alleviate morning sickness. Pregnant women should never stay in bed all day because of nausea and vomiting.
