Are you experiencing any of these discomforts during your pregnancy?

Pregnant women throughout the gestation period up to 40 weeks or so, during this period may appear a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, in the face of these discomforts, we should do it? First, the digestive system symptoms Some pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy will appear heartburn, nausea, vomiting in the morning, if the vomiting symptoms are serious, can be given vitamin B6. but with the increase in age, these symptoms will gradually reduce. In addition, individual pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy will still appear in the stomach area burning sensation, that is, the so-called “heartburn”, this is due to pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy fetal compression so that gastrointestinal peristalsis weakened, gastric cardia sphincter relaxation. These pregnant women should avoid bending and lying down after meals, and appropriate activities, if still can not be relieved can take aluminum hydroxide and other acid inhibitors. Second, constipation during pregnancy due to intestinal peristalsis and intestinal tension weakened, prolonged emptying time, water is absorbed by the intestinal wall, pregnant women to reduce the amount of exercise, as well as the uterus and the fetal part of the first dew of the lower intestinal compression, often cause constipation. Constipated pregnant women should pay attention to diet, drink a cup of boiled water every morning, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits containing more fiber, appropriate exercise every day, as well as develop the habit of regular defecation. If necessary, you can use laxatives, such as Kaiser, glycerin suppositories, but prohibit the use of harsh laxatives, and should not be enemas, so as not to cause miscarriage or preterm delivery. Third, the lower limb muscle spasm mainly refers to the calf gastrocnemius muscle pain contracture, any period of pregnancy can occur, night attack more. Can be due to the increasing uterine compression of the lower limb nerves, fatigue, cold, unreasonable body posture and the body of calcium, phosphorus ratio imbalance to the nervous system stress function. If the cause is calcium deficiency, there should be a planned intake of milk, if necessary, calcium supplementation therapy, prohibit the abuse of tablets containing calcium and phosphorus, so as not to aggravate the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus in the body. If for other reasons, the first should remove the cause of the disease, in addition, hot compresses on the affected area, elevate the lower limbs and massage the leg muscles can improve the symptoms. Fourth, frequent urination before 12 weeks of pregnancy, due to the increasing uterine compression of the bladder, there will be frequent urination, with the increase in gestational age, the symptoms will be alleviated; in the late stages of pregnancy, due to the descent of the fetal prenatal dew, bladder pressure and frequent urination again. And some pregnant women in coughing, sneezing will appear urine spillage, mostly due to the weak pelvic floor muscles. If urinary frequency is accompanied by urinary urgency and pain, further examination should be conducted to determine whether there is a urinary tract infection, and if there is an infection, be aware of the contraindications to the use of medications during pregnancy. When frequent urination occurs, it should be patiently explained to the pregnant woman to alleviate the burden of thought, and the pregnant woman should be instructed not to reduce the amount of water intake in order to affect normal metabolism. For patients with weak pelvic floor muscles, pregnant women can be instructed to do anal retraction exercises. Fifth, lower limb edema A variety of reasons can lead to edema: ① pregnant uterus compression of the inferior vena cava, so that venous return is impeded; ② placenta secretion of hormones and adrenal secretion of aldosterone increased, resulting in sodium and water retention in the body; ③ mother combined with heavy anemia, plasma protein, plasma osmolarity decreased; ④ hypertensive syndrome in pregnancy and so on. Physiological edema is often a mild edema of the lower legs and ankles, which can subside after rest, while edema of the lower limbs is obvious, and even develops to the thighs, abdominal wall, vulva, or the whole body, and can not subside after rest, consider pregnancy combined with renal disease, hypoproteinemia. For physiological edema, through ① avoid prolonged standing, rest and sleep legs elevated; ② light diet, more diuretic food; ③ left lateral position, to enhance venous return; to reduce the symptoms of pathologic edema should be actively treating the original disease. Sixth, low back pain Any stage of pregnancy will appear low back pain and sciatica, this is because with the gradual increase of pregnancy uterus, pregnant women’s body center of gravity unconsciously moved forward, resulting in lumbar and back muscles, ligaments, burden, and compression to the sciatic nerve. In addition, overwork, tension, prolonged standing, bending or lifting heavy objects are also causes of low back pain. In order to prevent or alleviate low back pain and sciatica, pregnant women should avoid excessive fatigue, sitting position, you can use a cushion in the back of the concave; cross-legged sitting position can be effective in preventing back exertion. For serious pain, should be absolute bed rest (using a hardboard bed), in addition, local hot compresses, massage can also be appropriate to relieve pain. Seven, hemorrhoids due to the increasing uterus and constipation during pregnancy to hemorrhoidal venous reflux obstruction, causing elevated rectal venous pressure, thus making the hemorrhoidal veins varicose and hemorrhoids. Pregnant women will experience pain as well as anal bleeding, which can cause mild anemia in severe cases. In addition to eating more fruits and vegetables and less spicy food, the patient’s symptoms can also be relieved by taking warm water sitz baths and using laxatives. If anemia occurs due to chronic bleeding from hemorrhoids, iron supplements are needed. If the internal hemorrhoids out of the anus, you can use the hand back. Eight, varicose veins due to pregnancy uterine compression of the abdominal cavity, so that the lower extremity veins and pelvic venous reflux obstruction caused by, but also due to the production of progesterone, so that the pregnant woman in the body of the slowing down of blood circulation caused. It occurs mostly in the lower limbs and occasionally in the vulva. Pregnant women should increase the chance of bed rest, avoid standing for too long, and pay attention to elevate the legs when sitting to promote the blood return of the lower limbs, but also appropriate walking to accelerate the circulation, and at the same time, the legs can use elastic bandage, and should avoid wearing tight mouth garters.
