I get hungry very quickly during pregnancy

Since there are two lives in one body of a woman when she is pregnant, the food she eats during pregnancy is easily digested and absorbed. Especially as women's pregnancy progresses, their appetite will increase accordingly, because the baby needs more nutrition when it is in the mother's belly. This also leads to many pregnant women getting hungry very quickly, but why do they get hungry very quickly when they are just one month pregnant?

Is it normal to get hungry quickly during early pregnancy?

Some pregnant women may often feel hungry in the early stages of pregnancy. This symptom varies from person to person, and some pregnant women may experience loss of appetite. Some women begin to experience a change in appetite shortly after their menstrual period (1 to 2 weeks). Some people simply don’t want to eat or even feel like vomiting, and some people crave something sour.

In addition to changes in appetite, you may also experience the following symptoms in early pregnancy:

1. Cessation of menstruation: This is the most obvious sign of pregnancy. As long as a woman is of childbearing age and has normal menstruation, she may be pregnant if her period stops for more than two weeks after sexual intercourse.

2. Easy to get tired: In the early stages of pregnancy, many women feel tired, have no energy, and want to sleep. But this period will not last too long and will pass quickly. So if you start to feel drowsy after having sex and your period is delayed, these may be signs of pregnancy.

3. Breast changes: In the early stages of pregnancy, under the combined stimulation of estrogen and progesterone, the breasts gradually grow larger, the color of the nipples and areolas deepens, and dark brown nodules appear around the nipples. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, a small amount of clear milk will be secreted.

Changes in skin color: Skin pigmentation may occur in the early stages of pregnancy, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, and stretch marks may appear on the abdominal wall in the later stages.

4. Frequent and urgent urination: In the third month of pregnancy, the bladder is compressed by the growing uterus, causing the bladder capacity to decrease, and frequent and urgent urination often occurs.

5. Vaginal mucosal discoloration: In the early stages of pregnancy, the vaginal mucosa may appear darker in color due to congestion. This can be determined by a doctor.

How to relieve early pregnancy discomfort

1. Nausea and vomiting: In order to relieve the discomfort caused by vomiting during pregnancy, pregnant women can choose some fresh and easy-to-digest foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating too greasy and irritating foods. Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to be overly nervous. It usually has little impact on your health and does not require treatment. Just keep a happy mood, stable emotions, and make sure you get enough rest. For most people, these symptoms disappear on their own after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Of course, if the nausea symptoms are particularly severe, you can take vitamin B6 orally. If the metabolism becomes disordered, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

2. Breast pain: For breast pain symptoms after pregnancy, pregnant women can use breast care methods such as hot compresses and massage to relieve them. It is important to note that the breasts are very fragile during this period, and pregnant women should be gentle during care to avoid damaging the nipples.

3. Back pain: For back pain symptoms in early pregnancy, proper rest, local hot compresses and massage can effectively improve the condition. No special medical treatment is required. If there is severe muscle weakness, numbness or soreness, you must seek medical attention immediately. If you want to improve the symptoms of lower back pain in early pregnancy, you should get enough rest, do prenatal exercises, and wear low-heeled shoes.

4. Frequent urination and urgency: To alleviate frequent urination during pregnancy, you can start by changing your daily life and water intake. In other words, you should drink water in moderation, but don't drink too much or in large quantities. When you go out, if you feel like urinating, you must go to the toilet and try not to hold your urine to avoid bladder inflammation or bacterial infection. In addition, pregnant women should understand that frequent urination is a very normal physiological phenomenon during pregnancy, and their endurance will naturally increase.

5. Increased vaginal secretions: Increased vaginal secretions are mainly related to changes in hormone secretion during pregnancy. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and pregnant women do not need to worry too much. However, if the secretion is yellow and has a foul odor, itching, or lumps, it is best for pregnant women to go to the hospital for treatment. Do not apply any medicine on your own or ignore it to avoid endangering your own and the fetus's health.
