Pain in early pregnancy

Many pregnant women have this feeling. At first, they feel a dull pain in the lower abdomen, just like menstruation, and this situation lasts for about two or three weeks. Later, I felt that there was no taste in my mouth and I had no appetite for anything. After a while, I felt sore and weak all over, and my breasts felt swollen. I feel uncomfortable no matter how I lie down when I go to bed at night, and I often can only sleep for three or four hours a night! When encountering this situation, expectant mothers will wonder whether this situation is normal or abnormal. So let us understand what is going on when you feel pain all over your body in early pregnancy!

1. Overview of early pregnancy In the early stages of pregnancy (the first 1-3 months of pregnancy), the expectant mother's basal body temperature remains at a high level. Due to hormonal changes, you may become easily emotional and often unhappy about trivial things; at the same time, various early pregnancy reactions may disrupt your original life and make you feel worse. However, everything will slowly get better. During the first three months of pregnancy, your body changes are not very obvious and you look like an ordinary woman. For you, you don't have to regard yourself as a special person. Eat whatever you want, do happy things and forget about the discomfort. When you feel unwell, lie down and rest. Try to maintain your original pace of life and make yourself more relaxed and comfortable. It is worth reminding that the first three months of pregnancy are the three months when it is easiest to lose the baby. In order to keep the baby, the expectant mother must be extra careful with every move.

2. Common symptoms in early pregnancy and early pregnancy reactions are different for each person. Some people are sleepy, some are afraid of cold, and some feel uncomfortable when they smell oil... These symptoms usually appear 6 weeks after amenorrhea and generally last until 3 months of pregnancy. Everyone's situation will be different, which is related to personal hormones. Some people's early pregnancy reactions last longer and may not disappear until 16-18 weeks. 1. Vomit! What to do? Early pregnancy reactions are very severe, and more than 60% of pregnant women have experienced vomiting after getting up in the morning. The sudden nausea and vomiting made the expectant mother look a little embarrassed. Most women will experience nausea and vomiting when they are more than 6 weeks pregnant, usually within a few hours after waking up in the morning. Those with mild symptoms have a decreased appetite, occasional nausea, and vomiting. A few people have obvious symptoms, vomiting whatever they eat, even if they don’t eat. The vomiting is not limited to the morning, and their sense of smell is particularly sensitive, and smelling disgusting odors will cause vomiting. Vomiting in early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to be overly nervous. It usually has little impact on your health and does not require treatment. Just keep a happy mood, stable emotions and get enough rest. For most people, these symptoms disappear on their own after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Of course, pregnant women who vomit extremely severely and vomit everything they eat will have their metabolism disordered and need to go to the hospital for treatment and, if necessary, be hospitalized for intravenous infusion.

Countermeasures: Ensure adequate sleep. Morning sickness can affect appetite, so in the early stages of pregnancy, just eat whatever you want without deliberately eating more or less. Foods such as lemon juice, hawthorn juice, potatoes, and biscuits can improve morning sickness. Reminder: Pregnant mothers who work may suddenly feel like vomiting in the office or on the road, which will inevitably make us feel embarrassed. We need to prepare in advance. Always carry a towel and mouthwash with you, pay attention to public facilities along the way when commuting, and calculate the fastest route to the bathroom. If you haven't told your boss about your pregnancy yet, come up with a compelling reason to do so. In addition, you need to make a flexible schedule, estimate your own endurance and possible difficulties, and arrange your work well. 2. Fatigue and sleepiness In the early stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers are prone to feeling tired and often want to sleep. During the early stages of pregnancy, many women experience general weakness and fatigue, or have no interest in doing things, feel drowsy and lack energy all day long. This is one of the normal reactions in early pregnancy and will naturally improve after 3 months of pregnancy. Countermeasures: Ensure adequate sleep. Rest whenever you want, don't force yourself.
