How Pregnancy Changes Body Discomforts: First of all, it is necessary to say that not all women suffer discomfort during pregnancy, in fact some do not even notice that they are pregnant until their clothes fit. Frequent discomforts: nausea, vomiting, back pain, sciatica, constipation, cramps, burning, are normal disorders, not diseases, but as the name suggests: they bother. The good news is that they can be largely prevented with healthy eating, rest, exercise, baths, and home remedies. Let’s talk about five of them:
- Nausea: During pregnancy the sensitivity of the body to certain foods is exacerbated and nausea is often caused by a slight intolerance. The infusion of fresh ginger is one of the most popular remedies against these nausea and dizziness in the car, and they are used in many cultures with success.
- Indigestion and heartburn: The baby’s growth compresses the mother’s internal organs, including the stomach, which can cause heartburn and a feeling of poor digestion. And in addition, during pregnancy, high levels of progesterone and estrogen relax the muscles of the digestive system and therefore stomach acids rise more easily through the esophagus.
- Constipation: If this problem already existed, the pregnancy can accentuate it more because the hormones slow down the movements of the intestines. You have to act quickly: drink plenty of water, increase the consumption of fruit, vegetables and whole grains (not refined bars).
- Back pain: in pregnancy the joints become more flexible. If due to a sedentary lifestyle you do not have good muscle tone, the problems are aggravated. Although the best prevention is to be fit before pregnancy, when we are, we can improve body posture and practice moderate exercise.
- Stress: Paying attention to the emotional state, resting, relaxing, breathing deeply, and sleeping as the body requests, are fundamental recommendations that normally the frenetic rhythm of life prevents us, but that we should prioritize due to the demonstrated negative influence of stress on the fetus.
