Common Discomforts During Pregnancy-Dr.Meghana Pande.

Pregnancy means changes in your body, both externally as well as internally. You can therefore experience tiredness and back ache. To help you know more, we have listed some of the top discomforts during pregnancy.

1. Changes in Breast

There may be few changes in your breasts while you are pregnant. For instance, your breasts will become bigger due to the enlargement of the fat tissue and milk glands.

Because of the increase in blood supply, you may also notice some bluish veins. In the third trimester, you can see the leakage of a yellowish fluid called colostrum.

2. Tiredness during Pregnancy

Your baby’s growth may take a lot of your energy. That is why you may end up feeling tired most of the time. However, it can also indicate anemia or low iron in your blood. It is another one of the common discomforts during pregnancy.

3. Headaches

Some women undergo changes in their hormones that can result in them having headaches. Mothers who are pregnant can experience mild to severe headaches. Frequent headaches in the latter half of your pregnancy can mean you suffer from pre-eclampsia. So, keep in touch with your doctor.

4. Morning sickness

Pregnant women experience morning sickness, which is a type of nausea or vomiting experience. Contrary to its name, a woman can have morning sickness at any time of the day. In many women, morning sickness passes away from the second trimester.

5. Insomnia

When you are pregnant, you are less likely to get adequate sleep at night. It is because being pregnant can increase your urge to urinate. Moreover, you may suffer from nausea and heartburn that will make it hard for you to get proper sleep.
