Temperature at 6 weeks gestation

Virtually all women notice an increase in temperature at the beginning of pregnancy (within 37-37.3 degrees). In medicine, such a rise in temperature is considered quite normal and is associated with the presence of a yellow body in the body of a woman. However, consult a specialist and, if necessary, take tests, will not be superfluous. When the temperature rises, first of all, you do not need to panic, especially if in addition to the temperature there are no more symptoms (for example, with colds, the temperature is accompanied by weakness, fever, sore throat, cough, etc.).

Particular importance should be given to basal temperature. A future mother in the first trimester should keep a schedule, and if she noticed a decline in indicators (below 37 degrees), this already indicates a threat of miscarriage and appropriate measures should be taken.

Cold at 6 weeks of pregnancy

It has long been known that a woman during pregnancy should be extremely cautious. Colds in early pregnancy, in particular, when it's 6 weeks pregnant, can have a significant impact on the development of the child. At this time, the laying and development of all vital organs and systems takes place, therefore, the use of medicines for a pregnant woman is prohibited. Even herbal remedies should be taken only with the appointment of a doctor. But if the cold does not heal, it can lead to the death of the fetus. Therefore, if a woman falls ill with a cold at the 6th week of pregnancy, she needs to ensure complete rest, the use of some alternative medicine is allowed, but strictly dosed. It is good for a cold to drink hot tea with raspberries (the use of viburnum during pregnancy is prohibited, as it provokes bleeding), with rose hips. With nasal congestion, you can wash the mucous membrane with sea water. If there is a fever, the doctor may recommend the use of baby candles.

In some cases, a doctor recommends a woman to artificially terminate the pregnancy, explaining this by the fact that a cold could cause severe malformations. However, many women who had a cold in the first trimester, then gave birth to healthy children.

Bleeding at 6 weeks gestation

6th week of pregnancy is the most dangerous period, as the risk of bleeding increases.

The most common causes of discharge are:

• ectopic pregnancy, the risk rises in that group of women who use intrauterine spirals. The causes of ectopic pregnancy are most often inflammatory processes in the ovaries, adhesions or scars in the oviduct. According to statistics, every 1000th pregnancy develops in the fallopian tubes. Usually, along with blood discharges, a woman feels cramping pains in the lower abdomen. With ectopic pregnancy, the only way is surgical removal of the fetal egg, otherwise pipe rupture and infertility in the future;
• a miscarriage, which together with heavy bleeding is accompanied by severe pain in the abdomen. Pains are very similar not premenstrual, only appear more strongly. In this state, it is necessary to consult a doctor, if you provide medical assistance in a timely manner, the chance to save the child will increase;
• trauma of uterine pharynx, which becomes more sensitive during pregnancy, it increases blood circulation. Reinforced physical exercises, intimate intimacy can break the blood vessels. Bleeding during a uterine throat injury usually lasts no more than 6 hours, the allocation is not abundant. In this state, it is necessary to observe bed rest, avoid loading;
• insufficient amount in the body of progesterone. The risk group includes pregnant women who previously underwent a course of treatment for infertility, women who do not have a regular menstrual cycle. The ovaries produce insufficient volume of the hormone and there is rejection of the fetus, which is accompanied by bleeding. This condition in medicine is called detachment of the fetal egg. In some cases, severe bleeding occurs. When this hormone is deficient, the hormone is administered in the form of injections, tablets, and suppositories.

Nausea at week 6 of pregnancy

The 6th week of pregnancy often becomes the onset of toxicosis, a condition in which a woman begins to experience morning sickness, malaise. This condition during pregnancy is a completely natural reaction of the body to changes in the hormonal background of a woman. In some cases, pregnant women suffer from quite severe forms of toxicosis, sometimes the woman's nausea and vomiting is so severe that there is a severe loss in weight, dehydration, weakness, arrhythmia, all this has a negative effect on the future child who is undernourished during this period. As a rule, in case of severe manifestations of toxicosis, hospital treatment is recommended.

It is not possible to establish the cause of such severe conditions with confidence in pregnant women until now. It is assumed that too young a woman's age, excess weight, the first pregnancy are factors predisposing to severe toxicosis. Inpatient treatment is necessary for a woman to restore the level of fluid in the body, deliver vitamins and additional nutrients important during this period for the development of the child.

Diarrhea at 6 weeks gestation

The poor state of health experienced by a woman at the beginning of pregnancy is associated with the manifestation of toxicosis - a natural reaction of the body to the preparation for the bearing of the child and subsequent childbirth. 6th week of pregnancy is about the time when a woman first experiences pregnancy. This condition is more or less affected by almost all women in the situation. The newly formed yellow body begins an active production of hormones necessary to maintain pregnancy. But hormones affect the whole body and all the internal organs of a woman without exception. First of all, it affects the gastrointestinal tract, the secretory activity of which is significantly reduced. Also, the liver and gallbladder under the action of hormones can not fully perform their functions. Usually, due to a decrease in the disruption of the gastrointestinal tract, constipation appears in pregnant women, since a decrease in the contractions of the smooth muscles of the intestine slows down the passage of food. However, in some cases, a woman, under the influence of all the same hormones, there is diarrhea, especially in the first weeks of pregnancy. Diarrhea can be mild or severe, requiring medical attention to prevent dehydration and washing out the nutrients that the woman and her developing baby need. Diarrhea due to hormonal changes in the body can torment a woman for about 12 weeks, until the toxicosis passes.

Sometimes diarrhea can occur due to improper eating, since the appetite of a pregnant woman under the influence of hormones can be unpredictable and not completely understandable. Such food experiments often lead to diarrhea due to a malfunction in the digestive system.

In case of poisoning, a woman can also develop diarrhea, in this case it is necessary to seek medical help as soon as possible, since the action of toxic substances can lead to very bad consequences for both the mother and her future child.
