Pregnancy calendar: how does the future mother feel.
Toxicosis, where does it come from? Placental daktogen, included in the list of hormones, which produces the placenta. This hormone significantly affects the metabolism (metabolism). In the body of a pregnant woman because of this, the number of amino acids that "build" children's tissues increases. The placenta and the fetus, as a result, "control" the metabolism of the future mother's body, and make them satisfy all their needs. All these processes, which are increasing every day and cause maladaptation, that is, the inability of the mother's organism to adapt to the new situation.
In addition to vomiting and nausea, and some moms are decreasing everything, and the skin becomes flabby and dry. There is also weakness and drowsiness. In the event that nausea, vomiting and drooling increase, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Toxicosis of the first months of pregnancy brings unpleasant sensations to you, but also significantly affects the development of the baby. Why? The thing is that constant vomiting leads the body to dehydration, which means that the supply of nutrients to the baby is severely impaired. It is during this period that the brain develops. So do not wait for self-improvement of your condition. This is fraught with the fact that severe toxicosis may begin to develop. Vomiting becomes frequent. At the first signs, consult a doctor who follows your pregnancy.
At 10 weeks of pregnancy, walks will be very useful for the future mummy. Proper nutrition also plays a great useful role. To take food should be divided, and the food must be your pleasure and not be hot. Carefully watch your weight. Sharp weight loss is a distress signal. Vomiting can become indomitable. And to admit it or this it is impossible, therefore without fail address to the doctor.
At this stage of pregnancy, pay special attention to the work of the intestine. The pressure of the filled rectum on the uterus is not desirable, therefore the chair should be daily. Black bread, boiled beets, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh and sour cabbage and prunes will help you defeat constipation.
To adjust the work of the intestine you will help a glass of warm water with honey drunk on an empty stomach or a glass of kefir drunk at night.
