8 major discomforts during pregnancy
Be prepared to deal with less sin!
Many discomforts during pregnancy make people discolored, and coping correctly can make pregnant mothers suffer less.
01: Nausea, morning sickness
According to statistics, 70%-80% of people will have morning sickness during pregnancy. Some are mild and do not affect the nutritional supply of the pregnant woman herself and the fetus, while some are severe enough to affect normal life.
When the baby begins to develop in the womb, the brain sends relaxation signals to the muscles throughout the body, and the peristalsis of the digestive tract slows down, which allows stomach acid to overflow into the esophagus and throat.
Because of the changes in hormones during pregnancy, some mothers' sense of taste will also become extremely sensitive, which can also lead to nausea and nausea.
Nausea and vomiting are very common in early pregnancy, usually starting in the sixth week of pregnancy and can occur at any time of the day, and for most mothers, morning sickness stops after the 12th week of pregnancy.
There is no rule of law for morning sickness, but there is a way to alleviate it!
(1) Eat a snack before getting up, keep the air fresh, the principle is peculiar smell, many mothers have tried, ginger can relieve morning sickness.
(2) Get up slowly in the morning, avoid brushing your teeth and tongue immediately after eating, and have enough rest to avoid physical exhaustion.
(3) Eat small and frequent meals, eat every two to three hours, and never go hungry.
(4) Stay away from people who smoke, and try to go to places with many people and turbid air.
(5) Vomiting is the most likely to make people lose too much water, be sure to drink more water. If you don't want to drink water, you can replace it with milk, fruit shakes, soups, juices, and vitamins and minerals by the way.
Note: Severe morning sickness also hides dangers, if morning sickness is so severe that you cannot eat for 24 hours, lose weight, weakness, abdominal pain, and vomiting blood, seek medical attention in time.
02: Heartburn, heartburn
As the old saying goes: reflux of pregnant women, five or six times out of ten.
Changes in hormones in the body during pregnancy and changes in the body can cause heartburn, and the progesterone produced by the placenta, which not only relaxes the smooth muscles of the uterus, but also relaxes the valves that separate the esophagus from the stomach, so that stomach acid leaks out, causing a burning sensation in the throat.
Mothers can rest assured that heartburn is generally not very harmful, and its biggest harm is that it can be very uncomfortable.
Heartburn usually appears in the first and third trimesters and goes away automatically after delivery, and mothers can take the following steps to relieve it:
(1) Eat small and frequent meals, chew food slowly, and avoid promoting food too quickly.
(2) Avoid eating irritating and spicy foods.
(3) Avoid lying down or bending over for one to two hours after eating. Elevate your head while sleeping. Wear loose clothing every day.
(4) Remember not to take stomach medicine indiscriminately. Consult a doctor before taking any medication.
03: Chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, dizziness
Some pregnant mothers in the third trimester, the most daily breathing, will also become difficult, often feel shortness of breath.
Serious is even affected by sleep: "The twins hold their belly painfully, lie flat and lack of oxygen and breathe to death"..."I dare not lie flat at all... I can't even breathe when lying flat, and sometimes I only dare to sit and sleep. ”
This is because tissues such as the uterus and stomach press the diaphragm of the abdomen upwards, reducing the volume of the thoracic cage, causing shortness of breath and a feeling of suffocation.
For this situation, mothers should not worry too much, maintain a good mood, and at the same time take the following measures to alleviate it:
(1) Keep the waist bar straight when sitting, because bending over will cause the organs to squeeze and become more breathless.
(2) If you feel shortness of breath, you can sit down and breathe steadily, or consciously make your lungs up or down.
(3) Pregnant mothers who often hold their breath can prepare an oxygen inhalation device and inhale it when they are uncomfortable.
If you suddenly feel severe hypoxia or pain, you need to see a doctor.
04: Constipation, hemorrhoids
About 1-4% of small pregnant women will have constipation problems, it is common to have no feces for a few days, and finally have a fecal feeling, and they can't pull it out for half a day, and hemorrhoids are held out.
Constipation is mainly because progesterone hormonal relaxes the smooth muscles of the intestine and reduces the normal peristalsis of the intestine, and the intestinal cells absorb more water than usual, so pregnant women are prone to constipation.
Here are a few ways to prevent constipation while reducing the risk of developing hemorrhoids:
(1) Drink 8 to 12 cups of liquid (such as water, soup or milk) a day, preferably warm or hot.
(2) Increase the intake of fiber-rich foods such as whole grain bread, vegetables, fruits and legumes.
(3) Maintain moderate exercise, such as walking and swimming.
(4) Remember not to take laxatives indiscriminately.
05: Low back pain, rib pain, sciatica
As the fetus grows, the weight of the uterus and fetus increases, and the pressure on the spine, pelvis and pelvis of the pregnant woman increases, which can lead to sore lumbar spine and pelvis.
The enlarged uterus will also always compress the ribs, coupled with some pregnant mothers sleeping on the left side for a long time, dozens of pounds of large balls are pressed on the left ribs, and they will come down for one night in a row, and it will definitely hurt the next day.
For this type of pain, mothers can try the following:
(1) Wear comfortable casual shoes and try to avoid wearing high heels.
(2) Pay attention to standing and sitting postures, and keep your spine straight.
(3) Support the body with a pregnant woman's pillow when lying down.
(4) Sit upright, do not hunch, give yourself enough space, and support your back at the same time.
(5) Avoid sitting for a long time, get up, rest, or walk every two hours.
(6) Avoiding standing for too long can relieve sciatica, and hot compresses on painful buttocks or waist also have certain benefits.
06: Frequent urination, urinary incontinence
During pregnancy, the blood flow to the kidneys in the mother is one and a half times normal, and the progesterone hormone relaxes the smooth muscles of the ureters, and pregnant women often have frequent urination.
In addition, the baby continues to grow in the womb, compressing the pelvic floor muscles of the mother, which will cause damage over time, and when the pelvic floor muscles cannot support the sphincter, there will be urine leakage, and urinary incontinence will be more likely to occur when sneezing, exercising, and even laughing.
Urinary incontinence can be prevented, exercising pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy is the most effective method, and it is also the first thing to do, because prevention is better than postpartum repair, prevention methods start from these three points:
(1) Perineal massage. Perineal massage is recommended starting at 34-35 weeks' gestation. Practice 1.5 times a week for 5 minutes, clean your hands before massage, no need to use massage oil.
(2) Do Kegel exercises. Kegel can do it from the beginning of pregnancy, in addition to preventing urinary incontinence, hemorrhoids, but also reduce the degree of tearing in vaginal labor, but remember one thing: Kegel exercises must make the pelvic floor muscles reach a considerable amount of training to be effective.
It can be implemented according to the following methods: continuous contraction of pelvic floor muscles (the action of holding urine while urinating) for not less than 3 s, relaxation and rest for 2~6 s, continuous 15~30 min, 3 times a day; Or do it 150~200 times a day. For more than 8 weeks or more, note: go to the bathroom before doing Kegel!
(3) Weigh well. Overweight during pregnancy will put more pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, be sure to control your weight and the weight of the fetus, and remember the normal weight gain range during pregnancy.
●Preconception BMI is less than 18.5, and weight is recommended to be 12 to 18 kg throughout pregnancy.
●The BIM value before pregnancy is greater than or equal to 18.5 and less than 26, and the weight of the entire pregnancy is recommended to be 11-16 kg.
●The BIM value before pregnancy is greater than or equal to 26 and less than 29, and the weight of the entire pregnancy is recommended to be 7-11 kg.
●The BIM value before pregnancy is greater than or equal to 29, and the weight of the entire pregnancy is recommended to be 7-9 kg.
07: Edema, swollen feet
The rapid increase in estrogen in the third trimester greatly increases the body's water, and due to gravity, most of the water will accumulate in the ankles, so eighty percent of pregnant women will have swollen feet.
After childbirth, as estrogen returns to normal levels, the fluid accumulation in the body will soon decrease.
To safely relieve edema, pregnant mothers can start from daily life:
(1) Wear comfortable casual shoes that are slightly larger than if you are not pregnant.
(2) Raise your legs when sitting down. When you sleep at night, you can also use a pillow to cushion your feet to raise the position of your feet and allow better blood flow.
(3) Sleep on your side. While sleeping, turning your body's weight to the side can help reduce symptoms of swelling. The inferior vena cava is a large vein that helps blood flow throughout the body. Sleeping on your side reduces pressure on your veins. This helps promote blood flow and prevents swelling.
(4) Strengthen exercise. Exercise is especially important for the reduction of leg swelling, simple walks, do gentle Pilates, yoga and aerobics are good choices, ask a doctor before exercise, if there are high-risk factors, follow the doctor's advice.
Note: Do not take dehydrating drugs to avoid lowering blood pressure, reducing the blood supply of the placenta, affecting the fetus's absorption of oxygen and nutrition.
At the same time, swollen feet, swollen hands, or facial swelling, which suddenly appear or become severe in a short period of time (such as between days), may be one of the symptoms of pre-eclampsia, and it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible.
08: The skin becomes worse and darker
Pregnancy is magical, there are mothers whose skin has become better because of pregnancy, and there are people whose pregnant skin has become worse, darker, and rougher.
This is because the hormone secretion in the body increases during pregnancy, the skin's self-protection and repair ability decreases, resulting in increased melanin, pregnancy spots, and the water storage capacity and metabolism of cells will also decrease, which will lead to a series of skin problems such as dehydration, dryness, oiliness, acne, sensitivity, sagging, dullness and so on.
Skin care during pregnancy, eating and drinking well can improve the condition of the skin:
(1) Do a good job of basic cleaning. Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser and warm water.
(2) Apply lotion to moisturize. Lotion is an essential moisturizer, don't wear nothing because you are pregnant, it will only make the skin worse.
(3) Apply sunscreen. Choose a sunscreen with a sun protection index of 30 or above, the safest sun protection during pregnancy is to use physical or mineral sun protection.
(4) Eat healthy food. Drink more fresh juice and eat more green vegetables, and your face will look young and energetic.

Pregnancy is full of challenges!
What are the challenges that pregnant mothers experience? And how hard will it be?

Insomnia every day, tossing and turning over and not being able to sleep...
It is especially easy to get tired, standing and sitting and lying down are tired....
The belly is painful, lying flat and deprived of oxygen, and it is difficult to breathe
The pubic bone hurts, I can't turn over while lying down, the pain is really sore....
Frequent urination, and the toilet became best friends....
Edema, legs swollen into wooden pillars, feet swollen to the point that shoes cannot be worn ...
Each of these is tormenting for ordinary people, but pregnant mothers have to face multiple at the same time.
Those who have not experienced it can never empathize, and others cannot share it.
But as a netizen mother said: the pressure and pain during pregnancy can be endured, and the only thing you can't stand is not getting the care and support of your husband and family, which is a more terrible thing than pregnancy itself.
Pregnancy is not a matter for the pregnant mother alone, everyone in the family can not be absent, and must give the pregnant mother enough understanding and support.
Because only the company and understanding of loved ones can help them eliminate the pain caused by pregnancy and support them through the long pregnancy October.
Only love and companionship, only support and understanding, can give them enough strength and courage!
I hope every mother can spend the whole pregnancy comfortably!
