30 Pregnancy concerns

As you enter into the stage of pregnancy, people are going to come out and offer advice (wanted or unwanted) about what you can or can't do, myths that will have you rolling your eyes and and they will throw their two cents worth in every possible direction about pregnancy. So to help you along the way, TheAsianparent has a list of articles that might ease this journey and make it a little more smoother.

Pregnancy, for most women, is the most awaited yet feared stage of life. There’s so much to do just getting prepared for it and when it happens, precautions and advice from outsiders are enough to cause any mum-to-be to become a nervous wreck.

But undeniably, it is a beautiful journey. As someone once said, “A mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside… when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.”

As you enter into the stage of pregnancy, people are going to come out and offer advice (wanted or unwanted) about what you can or can’t do, myths that will have you rolling your eyes and and they will throw their two cents worth in every possible direction about pregnancy.

So to help you along the way, TheAsianparent has a list of articles that might ease this journey and make it a little more smoother.

Pregnancy Concerns:

  • Spotting– Experiencing light bleeding or spotting?
  • Gaining Weight– Eating for two may cause a slight weight gain
  • Nosebleeds– Inconvenient but nothing to worry about!
  • Stretch Marks–Slap on a bit of Vit E oil and you’re good.
  • Early Dilation– Normal routine can still be there
  • Swine Flu– Higher risk for pregnant women
  • Constipation– Forcing may cause stress
  • Left-side Sleeping – The discomfort of getting comfortable
  • Groin Pain – Seldom but do consult a doctor
  • Safe Skin Care – Chemicals in cosmetics can be harmful
  • Spotting After Sex – NBlood spotting? That’s normal
  • Pregnant after 35 – Larger chance of having a baby with defects
  • Anxiety – This is normal can be handled
  • Prenatal Depression – 70% of women experience this
  • Pelvic Pressure – Apply heat to dull the pain
  • Sleeping Difficulties – Find the right position
  • Morning Sickness – You aren’t alone on this one!
  • Loose Stools – Nothing to worry about
  • Cramps – Someone needs a foot massage
