First Trimester Pregnancy

First Trimester Pregnancy Experiences

Executive Summary By David Everett

Your first trimester pregnancy months are the time when you need to accept and absorb all the changes you and your body are about to go through. During the first trimester pregnancy months you’ll have many things to think about. Although many women visit their general practitioner throughout their pregnancy, it’s advised that you seek out the care of an obstetrician during the first trimester pregnancy weeks.

This type of doctor has extensive training and experience in dealing specifically with pregnancy and delivery. It’s a good idea to visit an obstetrician during your first trimester pregnancy weeks to find out your exact due date and also to learn more about nutrition. One body change you are likely to notice during the first trimester pregnancy weeks is how easily you become tired. As your hormones change, so does your need for rest. One effect you may also experience during the first few weeks of your pregnancy is morning sickness. If you happen to experience this first trimester pregnancy symptom, keep in mind that it will pass. Morning sickness rarely lasts for the duration of the pregnancy, it’s almost always restricted to the first trimester.

Things can go wrong during a pregnancy and in most cases, if that does happen, it will be during the first trimester pregnancy period. Should you suffer from a miscarriage, take comfort in the fact that most women who lose a pregnancy go on to give birth to one or more healthy children. It is for this reason that many people wait beyond the first trimester pregnancy weeks before informing others of the impending birth. Many people, particularly first time parents, don’t have the experience or knowledge they would like to have when the baby arrives. Babies are a joy and you should cherish each and every day, right from your first trimester pregnancy weeks through to the day you give birth.

One of the earliest signs that you are pregnant is tenderness in your breasts. Some women also report skin changes at around six to eight weeks; the classic pregnancy glow.

Some women actually vomit whereas the majority just feel queasy. Fatigue and dizziness are also linked to early pregnancy. Hormonal changes may cause you to become increasingly irritable and tearful in the first trimester. It is entirely normal to be concerned about the life-changing event which lies ahead of you so take support from your partner, friends and family.

You will also be offered blood tests to check the health of the foetus. Depending on where you live, you may even have your first ultrasound scan at around twelve weeks to check that your baby is developing normally.

Always seek medical attention if you develop any unusual symptoms such as pain or bleeding and always take your folic acid. Take it easy during this critical early stage; even though the outward changes are not apparent, a lot is going on inside your body.

Take heart, the annoying symptoms of fatigue and morning sickness will subside as you enter the second trimester and your emotions will settle.

Your First Trimester of Pregnancy

Executive Summary By J Heath

Congratulations! You just found out that you are pregnant! Don’t worry, if that is the case you haven’t missed much with the growing fetus inside you. Don’t kid yourself into thinking that it only happens in the morning or that every pregnant women experiences it. With my first I didn’t get morning sickness. With my second I was nauseated the entire pregnancy. With this pregnancy I spent most of the first trimester tired, nauseated, unable to eat and in the bathroom.

The first month of pregnancy actually was the last period that you had and lasts through ovulation. Technically speaking your are not really pregnant at this time. You conceived within 24 hours of ovulating. This takes places for most women two weeks before their period. The egg and the sperm partnered up in the Fallopian tube and then spent the next 7 to 10 days down the Fallopian tube to the uterus. The “baby” is called a blastocyst right now and measures about .1 – .2 mm. By the time your fourth week of pregnancy rolls around the needed villi are formed an the yolk sac is helping your body sustain the pregnancy until your placenta is fully formed. Let’s back up, the first trimester is vitally important to the healthy of your baby. At first the heart beat will be very slow, then it will get faster and then slow down again as the pregnancy progresses.

If you were to get an ultrasound you would see that the embryo looks a lot like a kidney bean, with a flutter inside of it. It looks nothing like a human right now. Your baby is about 8 – 11 mm from the top of the head to the bottom of their bum. We knew right away. Congrats! You are finishing your first trimester. Mine, with this pregnancy, lasted into the second trimester, and that burst of energy they say you are suppose to get in the second trimester, ummm… This month the external genitalia has also begun to develop. It is in this third and triumphant month that your baby goes from being an embryo to a fetus! Woohoo!

The fetus’s head is the biggest part of their body at this point, it is about half the size of the entire body. Don’t worry, your baby won’t come out that way. Your baby is approximately 14 grams and is now a little over 3.5 inches long. Yes, only hinted. I can not stress enough that if at no other time have you ever listened to your body, now is the time. If you feel tired, try to take a nap. Get the extra rest your body is asking for.

It is really important that right now you increase your water intake and decrease your caffeine intake. Secondly your growing baby needs those nutrients to make sure he or she is growing properly.

Do a home pregnancy test around 3 weeks after the ovulation date. Always keep in mind, the home pregnancy tests may give false negatives but rarely does it give false positives!

The Joy Of Discovering Your First Pregnancy

Most couples who have planned a pregnancy eagerly look out for the first pregnancy sign symptom and heave a sigh of relief when the sign at last occurs.

Signs And Symptom Of First Pregnancy

The first few signs of pregnancy may be different for each woman, but basically, the first sign is an increase in the basal temperature. The morning temperature of a woman increases after ovulation and remains in that way until her next period, so an increase in the basal temperature that remains constant can be the indication of a first pregnancy.

In some women, implantation bleeding occurs. There is light bleeding or rather spotting, unlike the normal menstrual bleeding. In some women, the first week sign of pregnancy may include fatigue, sleepiness, and nausea. The women feel tired and sleepy due to the bodily changes that silently take place as well as due to the hormonal changes. One symptom is that most women do not look forward to is morning sickness and nausea. Your sense of smell also heightens, which can worsen the condition, as certain smells can aggravate morning sickness. The nipples may feel sore and some women develop tubercles around them. Some experience heartburn and indigestion too.

Pregnancy Info – Where to Get Questions Answered

Executive summary By Amber Torija

Pregnancy

Lets face it though, if you are or ever have been pregnant, you know that once the initial joy wears off the questions begin to flood in.

I am a mother of three beautiful children and all of my pregnancies were as different as the children that they produced. I have many “first time mom” friends and since I have been through it three times they consider me a savant on the subject of pregnancy. My husband laughs at the library of pregnancy books that I have stacked in the house. Being pregnant goes in stages of emotions. Once I reached the latter stages of pregnancy I worried about how I would take care of this new precious gift. Some would refer this to being the “nesting” phase of pregnancy.

Like I said I had numerous questions regarding pregnancy and was always searching for the answers. My “first time mother” friends that I talked about have their own list of pregnancy questions that fill their brains. The best bet if you do have a medically related question is to ask you Doctor. Some questions refer more to the changes in your body is experiencing; pregnancy books and articles are great to have these questions answered. The web and pregnancy books are a great way to get your questions answered while remaining anonymous.

If you ask the question to your doctor and you don’t feel right about the answer you get, seek another answer, like I said you and only you know your body the best. My second piece of advice is that even with pregnancy aches and pains enjoy and savor every moment of it.
