Mothers Share Experiences On Giving Birth

By Leo Silva


For nine months, a pregnant woman often feels exhausted and experience several pregnancy symptoms while carrying the baby in her womb. The unfortunate thing is that pregnancy has more issues to bring as giving birth draws near. Many pregnant women experience many major body changes, pregnancy symptoms and terrible pains as the baby continues to grow bigger and bigger inside the womb.

1 of the most vital pregnancy symptoms is a repeated urination. This because of the pressure given by the baby which pushes the mother's bladder gradually. This also sometimes results to kidney malfunction as the kidneys find it very difficult to get rid of waste products. In effect, a pregnant woman may unintentionally release urine when she laughs, coughs, or sneezes. A simple remedy for this problem is by avoiding drinking of beverages that contain large amount of caffeine.

Other typical pregnancy symptoms of pregnant woman may also experience are stomach acids that seep back up to their esophagus. This is the result of relaxation of the valves at the opening of the stomach. Eventually, heartburn and indigestion are likely to occur. The problem with this condition is that it may worsen in the second or third trimester. 1 way to lessen this issue is to have 5-6 average meals instead of having 3 complete meals in a day. Also, make sure to include foods that are rich in fiber in the diet.

In most cases, backache is 1 of the pregnancy symptoms experienced many times by a pregnant woman during the whole period of her pregnancy. Back ache is normally felt in the lower portion making it difficult for the pregnant women to sit, stand and sleep. Usually, this is due to the strain in the extra weight being carried and the changes in the posture as the center of gravity has been shifted forward and more pressure has been added in the lower back. The actual conditioning of the muscle that supports tha spine during pregnancy may also be the cause of back ache. Because of these pregnancy symptoms, pregnant women are advised not to carry large or heavy load and avoid doing tasks that involve fast movements. Moreover, a comfortable mattress is highly suggested to be used in sleeping or lying so that the body, especially the back will feel more relaxed.

In contrast, pregnancy symptoms like hormonal changes in a pregnant woman's body may cause her to feel dizzy especially when there is an urgent change in position. Even though this is normal, pregnancy symptoms like having a dizzy spells can be a critical issue especially when it occurs in public places away from home or while driving a car. If these continue to get worse, it is best advised to see a doctor right away before taking any kind of medications.

These are just some of the pregnancy symptoms that a woman may feel for her to certify that she's pregnant. These pregnancy symptoms are not meant to make the experience painful for women, but the body's way to adjust to the changes happening in the body.
