What Are The Very Early Signs Of Pregnancy?


 

Studies have indicated that about 70 to 85 percent of women who are pregnant suffer women suffer from very early pregnancy signs comprising missed period, morning sickness or nausea as well as vomiting. These are the very early pregnancy signs during pregnancy that are overlooked when women don’t monitor their body’s changes quickly enough.

Amidst the very early pregnancy signs, morning sickness is a misnomer because it can happen at any time of the day or night and not just during the mornings as its name indicates. This is a condition that continues during the first trimester and then disappears totally.

However, here are some tips to get you in control if you are finding it impossible to manage the problem of morning sickness:

You don’t like snacking but when you suffer from morning sickness, snacking would be real lifeline as eating smaller meals more frequently would lessen the severity with which you suffer bouts of morning sickness.

It would be essential for you to keep drinking lots of liquids but it is best to do this between meals and not with your meals.  

Say no to greasy, spicy as well as fried foods that would aggravate your condition further.

A lot of pregnant women have difficulty with specific odors that are either too strong or may be unpleasant. Such odors can aggravate nausea or vomiting attacks.

Getting a lot of rest is important during pregnancy because your body undergoes tremendous changes that would bring on a lot of fatigue as well as tiredness.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have laid down some essential guidelines to treat signs of pregnancy. That is why they recommend intake of multivitamin from the time of conception, such as Vitamin B6 or Vitamin B6 plus doxylamine. Pregnant women are encouraged to take ginger cookies, ginger ale as well as ginger supplements for tackling the signs of pregnancy such as nausea and vomiting. Remember, you should not self medicate so whatever over-the-counter vitamins, or natural supplements, or medication you require, it must be done with the consent of your doctor at all times.

During this period, it is natural for you to feel vulnerable, sensitive and emotional most of the time. So to liven up your spirits and spice up your thoughts in a positive way, you should begin a journal writing program to keep your mind off the signs of pregnancy. This would be a very effective way to channelize good thoughts into your consciousness and not let problems like nausea affect your mind in a bad way. Whatever thoughts, conflicts and emotions you feel, write it down in your diary so that you don’t suppress your natural emotions. After the initial phase of pregnancy, the signs of pregnancy would stop worrying you and you can prepare yourself to be accepting of the joys that come your way as a part of motherhood.
