Symptoms and reactions in early pregnancy

For a couple, conceiving a baby is a responsibility and a "blessing". After ten months of pregnancy, a woman will feel the little life growing in her belly day by day. Generally speaking, women will have some symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy. Different pregnant women have different physical fitness, and the symptoms are also different. Let's follow the editor to learn about the symptoms and reactions of early pregnancy.

1. End of menstrual period

If a couple has sex around the ovulation period, does not use any contraceptive methods, and has a normal menstrual cycle, but suddenly experiences amenorrhea for more than 5 days, they may be pregnant.

2. Nausea and retching

Many pregnant women will experience morning sickness starting around the 5th week of pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting occur very often in the morning, afternoon and evening, and vomiting occurs without any reason. The cause of morning sickness is not yet clear, but data show that it may be related to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the human body. In the early stages of pregnancy, the body's human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels begin to rise. The higher the level of this hormone, the more likely you are to feel nauseous.

3. Breast enlargement and tenderness

After one or two months of pregnancy, your breasts will become larger and softer. Due to the stimulation of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will produce a large amount of estrogen and corpus luteum, which will cause the breast ducts to begin to grow and develop, so the breasts will enlarge. This growth hormone also causes the breasts to store large amounts of fluid, causing them to become more sore and tender.

4. Excessive leucorrhea

During pregnancy, the body's estrogen level gradually increases as the pregnancy progresses. Estrogen can promote the secretion of mucus in the glandular ducts of the cervix and uterine wall. The blood volume in the private parts, vagina, and cervix of pregnant women is abundant, and the tissue water increases, so the secretions also increase, and vaginal secretions will also increase.

5. Mild vaginal bleeding

The combination of sperm and egg will implant the embryo in the uterus within 6-12 days after pregnancy. At this time, the pregnant woman may have mild vaginal bleeding. If this happens, if the vaginal bleeding is mild and there are no serious discomfort symptoms, pregnant women do not need to worry, as it is a normal physiological need when the embryo is implanted and has no harm to the body. Implantation bleeding is mainly manifested as a small amount of blood or blood spots, which can be seen several times a day. The bleeding lasts for about three days, and there is no discomfort during menarche. Embryo implantation bleeding needs to be distinguished from menstrual period to prevent pregnant women from being pregnant without knowing it.

6. Poor appetite

Loss of appetite may begin as early as 2 weeks into your pregnancy. Since the metabolism of flavonoids will significantly reduce the functions of many systems in the human body, the body's digestive tract function will also be affected, which may sometimes cause constipation and indigestion.

7. Physical fatigue

During early pregnancy, some women's bodies secrete a growth hormone that acts like a local anesthetic. Its main ingredient is corpus luteum copper, which mainly functions in the uterus. This substance relaxes the muscles of the uterus, preventing premature pain, thereby allowing the fetus to grow smoothly. But this corpus luteum copper will increase your normal body temperature, so you may lack energy. And your heart rate will increase to provide more CO2 to the uterus, so you may feel very tired.

8. Frequent and urgent urination

You may think that the symptom of frequent urination and urgency will not come so early, and it should appear when the fetus can be squeezed into the bladder, but in fact this symptom may appear in the early stages of pregnancy. The main reason for frequent urination and urgency in early pregnancy is the change of testosterone in the human body. Not only will the expanded uterus put pressure on the bladder, but the increase in blood volume will also put pressure on the kidneys, resulting in increased urine.

9. Bad Temper

If you find yourself crying for a small plot in a TV series, don't feel strange. This may be related to the male hormones secreted during pregnancy, and you may be able to cry and laugh in an instant.

10. Edema, leg cramps and back pain

Many women mistake this condition for premenstrual syndrome, but in fact it is caused by changes in male hormones and the growth of the uterus.

11. Dizziness

Because your body temperature will rise due to the secretion of growth hormone, you may easily feel dizzy. Compared to normal, it takes a little longer for blood to flow into the brain. At the same time, hypoglycemia is also a major cause of dizziness.

12. Headache

Some women experience frequent headaches during early pregnancy. In addition to the factors of growth hormone metabolism, headaches may also be caused by insufficient drinking of water and low blood sugar. But as the pregnancy progresses, the headaches will gradually decrease.
