What changes occur in a woman’s body after she becomes pregnant?

When a woman is pregnant, it is a magical and happy thing to give birth to a little life. After pregnancy, women bring us not only a new life in the belly, but also many changes in the body. After pregnancy, the body usually not only has symptoms such as drowsiness and vomiting, but also some other changes. It’s just that some women may not notice it. What are the changes in a woman’s body after pregnancy?

Body changes after pregnancy

1. Breast enlargement

After pregnancy, under the influence of progesterone, the breasts will become enlarged and sensitive after 4 weeks. Progesterone will cause the breasts to sag and stretch the ligaments and fibrous tissue of the breasts. Remember to change your bra at this time. Some mothers will have a network of blue blood vessels on their breasts. Don't worry, these will disappear automatically after delivery.

2. Increased vaginal discharge

Increased vaginal discharge is a normal symptom of early pregnancy due to the implantation of the fertilized egg and the influence of increased hormones. Normal vaginal discharge is odorless milky white mucus. If the discharge is dark in color or contains blood, pregnant mothers are advised to go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

3. Stopping of menstruation

Many people only realize that they might be pregnant when their period does not arrive on time. We must make it clear that pregnancy causes our menstruation to stop, not the cessation of menstruation causes us to become pregnant. Don't wait until your period stops to think about your pregnancy. The sooner you confirm your pregnancy, the safer you and the fetus will be.

4. Thick hair

After pregnancy, the secretion of female hormones increases, which promotes the growth of human hair, speeds up the growth of hair, and makes the hair thicker and denser. But don’t worry, mothers, usually these will return to normal after 6 months after delivery.

5. Bulimia or anorexia

Every pregnant woman has some little story about gluttony. This is also the only good time for many women to toss and turn and toss to their heart's content. If you suddenly want to eat something, you can ask your family to prepare more to satisfy your craving. Some pregnant mothers also experience a drastic change in their taste after pregnancy, and you may find that you lose your appetite for the foods you used to love.

6. Increased body temperature

After pregnancy, the body temperature of pregnant women will be higher than that of normal people. The normal body temperature of a person is about 37℃, while the body temperature of a pregnant woman will be slightly higher. Therefore, many women who find that their body temperature is rising will think that they have a fever. In fact, they may be pregnant! Therefore, if you encounter this situation, do not take medicine blindly.

7. Decreased vision and dry eyes

After pregnancy, the curvature of the pregnant mother's eyes will also change, and symptoms of farsightedness will appear. This condition becomes more severe as the pregnancy progresses. Changes in hormones in the body can also disrupt the distribution of the tear film in the eyes, causing pregnant mothers to secrete less eye fluid, leading to dry eyes and fatigue.
