Gases

If you are constantly looking for an excuse to get out of the room, and your colleagues do not think that this plastic dish melts in the microwave oven, then you are already faced with an unpleasant aspect of pregnancy - excessive release of gases that can bring a small car into action. "When it comes to the side effects of pregnancy, the first place during the first trimester is taken up by gases," says midwife Laura Riley, a midwife obstetrician for high-risk pregnancies in the Massachusetts Hospital, Boston. Riley explains this by the high hormone level of pregnant progesterone, which slows down the mobility in the stomach, producing more gas. Solution: Pay attention to your diet. Riley proposes to reduce the number of consumed beans, broccoli, carbonated drinks and replace meals more frequent, but smaller in volume. As for medicines, it is not a good idea to take any pills during pregnancy, it is better to choose any product of calcium carbonate.

Vomiting

The stories of "morning sickness" in the early pregnancy are legendary. However, this can happen not only in the morning, and, sometimes, at the most inopportune moments. "Nausea is largely one of the components of every pregnancy, but there are things that can be controlled, if only to prevent you from vomiting on someone," says Catherine Macauley, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, San Medical Center -Diego. Change the time of taking prenatal vitamins. "Take them in the evening while eating - this can definitely help in the fight against morning sickness," she says. Additionally, try using a nausea bandage designed with the pressure on the acupuncture point associated with nausea. It can also help with morning sickness and reduce the risk of sudden vomiting. Always have a lemon, candies, or try to hold a piece of ice in your mouth.

Incontinence

Pregnancy and incontinence are closely related to each other. "I remember walking out during my first pregnancy, accidentally sneezing - and felt a trickle dripping down my legs." I quickly turned to go home, but it all happened again, I felt like I was seven, "Quarty says. The problem is, says Makaley, that the uterus increases and presses on the bladder. Cut the liquid and you will be able to solve this problem.

The best solution: do special exercises that tone the muscles and help control the bladder. Also wear napkins or pads, if suddenly sneezing takes you by surprise.

Allocations

While this does not become a problem in the public sense, it can bring grief. We talk about vaginal and vulvar problems during pregnancy, including secretion, the appearance of odors, itching, and even the swelling of the vulva. Makaley explains this by the appearance of hormones and an increase in the weight of the child. Fortunately, there are tips that will help you. Wear linen made from natural materials and change it more often. "I do not recommend using deodorants or other perfume products for intimate hygiene." "Vulvic burning and itching can lead to other problems," says Macaulay. Also remember that pregnancy hormones increase the sense of smell, so do not be surprised if someone does not feel their own, as you think "terrible smell." If you notice a change in the color of your genitals, you may have vulvar varicose veins, this may be the reason for wearing a tight supporting belt that many pregnant women use. Consult with your doctor about this issue.

Problems with memory

You pick up the phone to call the customer - and you can not remember who you are calling. You go to the grocery store to buy ... What? You can not remember. These are just two examples of the "memory of a future mother", which usually "progresses" in the second trimester. While many people call all the same ill-fated hormones, Makaley does not forget about the experiences of the future mother.

"When you are constantly thinking about your child's health, your health, your future and the color of the children's room, it is likely that you can forget some trivial things," says Makalei. If this confuses you, think about what is happening is a natural change that happens in almost every pregnant woman. Realizing this can improve your memory, "she says.

Emotional problems

Hormones, which are produced in the body of a pregnant woman, can turn even the most timid woman into a force that will be reckoned with! Riley, believes that hormones can have different effects on the condition of pregnant women. There may be aggressiveness or, conversely, increased sentimentality and tearfulness. Usually such a state is not long and the mood changes rapidly. But, if you are depressed most of the time, consult a doctor to prevent potential problems.
