With your second trimester in flow more new aspects will b a part of this phase.
Like I have mentioned before..now comes the time where your curvature starts showing its little bump. So increase in clothes size is in order.
During these two months i.e. the sixth and seventh .. your body is going to start getting adjusted to the increase in the foetus size. So don't forget the tips I have given in my previous blogs. This is also the time when your look will be the obvious 'pregnant'. So girl enjoy growing all the way.
This phase is also the time of extreme care. This I say not to scare you but to educate you. Most problems that tag along with pregnancy start showing their ugly heads on your reports! The most common problems are high sugar levels and high blood pressure. Both of these being or rather sounding minor ..are still a point of extra care.
Diabetes during pregnancy can cause deformities in the foetus. So having your meds is very important. Although its a common thing in the new world of today .. with the kind of lifestyle we lead, yet being careless with it is not a good attitude. The drawback of this condition is that food intake and the form of food intake will have to be kept on check.
High blood pressure during pregnancy is termed as PIH -Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. If the range is not too high it does not cause too much damage but in many cases it has many risks. Few being .. in PIH moms the thought of normal delivery is jeopardized. This is because of the risk of heavy bleeding or any vessel rupture. Also the foetus is at risk of having pressure on the kidneys and so does the mom. The common signs of PIH are swelling of feet. So if you are a PIH mom try not to be standing for long an sit with your legs stretched straight on a table. Also while sleeping keep a pillow under your feet to help reduce the swelling. Reduction in sodium intake in your food is a compulsion!
Also there are lot more complications that arise with PIH that is severe in many moms. In my next blog I will give a detailed understanding of few such complications which if treated on time can help in many ways.
More to come in my next blog.
