Health During Pregnancy

My husband and I have sex everyday and around the time I ovulated we did it every other day. It’s been about a week now and I have sore and sensitive breasts. Lower back pain, light cramping, and I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning then when 3 in the afternoon hits i have to lay down I’m so tired. Also I went to the zoo with my friend and her son for a couple hours and by the end I was completely exhausted. Im suppost to start my period in 2 weeks, thats why i think I might be preggers cause my normal pms symptoms shouldn’t come for at least a week. ( I know m body very well and this is very different). and I know its too early to get a positive so do you think I could be having symptoms this early? Is it possible?

I’m on birth control and I missed it by 7 hours one night… the only problem was I had unprotected sex for less than a minute. We were both drunk yet he was soft (a little awkward, I know). Could I be pregnant? What are some symptoms?

I started birth control for a week, then changed my mind and went off. My period was longer and I had a lot of spotting from going off the birth control. I figured that was it and the side effects were done at that point., since i was only on it for literally a week. (Loestrin 24). It’s been about a 5 weeks since then and I still haven’t gotten my period, it’s 2 weeks late. I had had unprotected sex 2 days before going off of my birth control. SMART i know :/ but he pulled out.. what’s done is done :/. but anyway I’m having very single pregnancy symptom possible at this point, nausea, headaches (CONSTANTLY), discharge, hot flashes, aversion to some foods and some weird cravings, etc.. HOWEVER the problem, took the pregnancy test and it came out negative. Used first response. Now is there still a chance I am (which I am not looking to be) orrr could these symptoms be caused by something else?

If you’re like most women who are trying to conceive, you spend each month obsessing over your possible early pregnancy symptoms. But it can get to a point where you are actually starting to imagine the symptoms that, in reality, aren’t really there. Instead of disappointing yourself yet again, try to take an objective look at your symptoms.

So, exactly how do you stay objective while keeping track of possible symptoms?

1. Keep a journal of possible symptoms each day of your menstrual cycle. Feel free, at this point, to write down even the most insignificant symptom, because looking back you may see a trend or something that sticks out to you. Some possible symptoms would include spotting, fatigue, breast tenderness, cramping or bloating. Some possible insignificant symptoms would include headaches, pinching sensations in the abdomen or bluish veins appearing in the breasts.

2. Have a significant person in your life be honest with you about their observations. Someone who sees you every day may notice that your coloring has changed or that you seem more tired than usual. Even things we don’t notice in ourselves may be noticed by someone from the outside. Don’t put the thought in their head by asking if they’ve noticed something in particular, but rather just ask them generally if they notice anything different about you.

3. Along with any symptoms you notice each day, write down any events occurring in your life that may explain them. For example, if you write down fatigue as a symptom, but also notice that you have a sore throat, you may want to make a note to yourself that you are possibly coming down with a cold.

It is very important to not only take an honest look at your possible early pregnancy symptoms, but to also look at them as a whole. Many symptoms are very similar to an impending menstrual cycle and so you have to be careful not to automatically assume that a symptom is an absolute sign, one way or another. Carefully listen to your body, but when all else fails, time will give you an absolute answer.

The development of your baby –
Now that the basic organs are developed and beginning to function steadily, the next thing that your baby will experience is the development of the sense organs which it will use to learn things about the world once it comes into the world. The tongue is forming the taste buds already, the nerve endings and sensorial in the brain are developed too – developed enough so that the baby can sense touch already. By now your baby is definitely touching his own face and sucking on his thumb to make more frequent use of this new sense of touch that he has discovered. This will make you begin to feel sensations in your tummy too. Te reproductive system of your baby is developed too. For boys the testes will begin to drop from the abdomen area and for girls the uterus, ovaries and vagina have found their right places too.

The development of your body –
This is the time you will start experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions. These contractions are practice contractions that your uterus practices on its own to prepare for the ultimate delivery. If you have not already started experiencing them, you will definitely very soon. Your abdomen might feel squeezed or other discomforting sensations. Do not worry at these natural contractions. Even though your baby would be able to sense these from the inside, Braxton Hicks contractions are not harmful in any way. If they occur once in a while it is a sign of healthy pregnancy but if they become too frequent and begin to hurt too much, you should contact your medical examiner immediately. Uneasy contractions are usually a sign of preterm labour.

The exciting journey of motherhood has all sorts of pregnancy symptoms attached to it. You have happily discovered that you are pregnant and just like any other mom-to-be, you too are worried about what lies ahead in this wonderful journey. No matter how smooth the period is, it does come with its own sets and problems.

During the first trimester of the pregnancy, some women suffer from nausea. They may just feel sick by some particular odor and might feel the same way all throughout the day. They may feel like vomiting but are unable to vomit. Nausea is connected to morning sickness and vomiting. However, some lucky women manage to escape this. The degree and time of nausea differs from woman to woman. For many of them, it stops at the end of the first trimester. Some women feel good if they eat some chips and sip Ginger Ale while they are suffering from nausea. Several rests in a day may relax them. Nausea, vomiting and morning sickness are all caused due to the changes in the hormonal level or an imbalance in the sugar level.

Pregnancy symptoms change when a woman enters the second trimester. Well…now she can no longer hide the fact that she is expecting and starts showing this off pretty well. During the second trimester, she may feel some symptoms like pain in the pelvic area. The body stretches to make room for the growing baby. The uterus is expanding and if the pain gets very severe and fever accompanies it, then it is time to call your doctor. The increase in the flow of blood cause many women to bleed from their nose and gums. This is a very common symptom and is nothing to worry about.

The last pregnancy trimester is the time for all possible discomforts. Many women get so big that it is actually difficult to be mobile for them. Acidity and indigestion are the most common symptoms at this time. Heartburn also occurs occasionally. This is due to the stomach acids that back up and irritate your system. Indigestion makes one feel bloated and puffy.

Many women also do not get regular bowel movements. They feel gassy and stuffed. This can be taken care of by eating the right type of foods at the right time of the day. This condition worsens as the uterus presses itself against the stomach, giving it less room for its job. Back pains are also pretty severe in some cases. This is mainly due to the steady weight gain that has been occurring for some time now. A heating pad on the back for not more than ten minutes may relax the pregnant woman and give relief. The kind of leg pains and cramps that many women encounter become unbearable and this is one of the major symptoms of pregnancy in the later stages.
