Pregnancy Tips On Overcoming Traditional Pregnancy Symptoms
Here are some pregnancy tips for nausea, migraines,
morning sickness, fatigue and all those traditional
pregnancy symptoms.
Nausea and Morning Sickness
These are very traditional symptoms. It normally
happens because your hormones are
increasing, the HCG and estrogen or
estrogen levels are really really high
to help support the growing baby. The
body reacts to it with a heightened sense of smell, resulting
in you feeling nauseous or sick.
If you have tried in vain nausea remedies like
traditional saltine crackers, ginger ale,
ginger tea and the nausea candies, you may
want to give green apples a shot. It kind of helps to
clear the different assets that are
moving around in your body and refreshes the body system.
The Emotional Roller Coaster
The moodiness, sensitivity, anxiety and stress
could all come at the same time and hit you really hard!
This happens to most pregnant women because again the rising
of hormone levels in your body can sometimes affect your
serotonin levels. Of course everyone's experience is different but
this could prove to be overwhelming for some. Some common aftermath
are crying for no apparent reason, insomnia from bombarding thoughts,
consumed with fear of being a new mother, waking up in the
morning with a weight on your shoulders.
This can happen to a lot of women during pregnancy and
something that can be very helpful is to either take a fish oil
supplement or to increase your fish consumption like eating
more salmon. Try to get those natural fatty acids; omega-3s
, DHA and EPA. These vitamins actually helps your baby
with their brain function. Apparently the way
omega-3s, DHA and EPA affect you is that they help to regulate
brain function and help you to control your mood. Even if you're
not pregnant, it's something that could be really helpful
for you. But do check with your doctor make sure it's okay for you
personally.
Extreme Fatigue
Extreme fatigue and tiredness are symptoms you may experience
in your first trimester as well as the second trimester. There
are several school of thoughts on the reasons behind this.
In the first trimester, it is because your body is
working in overdrive to build these little babies and it just
uses all of your body's energy to build and grow and make those
babies. You will experience that tiredness and sleepiness.
It is best to just listen to your body and when you feel
tired, slow down, sit down or take a nap. Allow your body and
all your energy to go to that baby-making!
If you are experiencing shortness of breath, do keep an eye on
your iron levels and make sure that they're at an adequate
level, especially with twin pregnancies as you can become anemic
and this all can happen with singleton pregnancies as well.
So it's just something to keep an eye on. Make sure that
your doctor approves before taking any iron supplements.
Headaches and Migraines
This is again due to the surge of hormones.
With the increase in blood volume that's kind of going and
circulating through your body, it can trigger these
headaches and migraines for some women. As you are pregnant, you
can't take any prescriptions or Advil or any like that.
One home-based remedy you may want to consider is to go
to your room, turn off all the lights and close
all the blinds. Make sure there's no light anywhere.
Turn the AC on to 65 degrees, like super super cold and have an
ice pack for your head just in case it gets even worse.
Use a sleep mask to block out all of the sunlight and just lay on
the bed and take deep breaths. Relax as much as possible.
Instill the virtue of patience and cultivate a sense of creativity together with your baby.
There is no better time to educate your baby intimately than while he/she is inside of you!
You definitely wouldn't want to miss this great opportunity!
