During pregnancy, there are many changes in the body of women, about which they have no idea. Not all pregnant women have the same changes, they can also be different. These nine months of pregnancy are counted from the first day of the last periods. These 9 months are divided into three trimesters.

First trimester

The first 3 months fall into this phase. At this time, the fetus develops and it takes the shape of a human fetus. During this period, taking any medicine without asking a doctor can be dangerous, as the drugs can be harmful in this condition and can cause structural disorders in the child. During this period, no medicine other than folic acid is needed.

2 – Blood pressure is usually low during this period and pulse rate increases.

3 – Breast size increases. It can also cause discharge. There is also pain on touching the breast.

4 – Weight gain is not necessary in the first three months.

5 – Morning sickness begins within three weeks of conception. It lasts for the entire quarter. Increasing levels of estrogen and progesterone slowly empties the stomach. Due to slow digestion of food, women have problems like vomiting. Such feeling occurs in the morning.

6 – Frequent urine may have to go. To get rid of this, do not reduce the intake of liquids, but reduce the amount of tea and coffee.
