During pregnancy, the human body can undergo many physical, emotional and psychological changes, so much so that it’s difficult to trace them. These changes can happen suddenly and in unexpected ways....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
We encountered 8 unusual signs of pregnancy that may hinder, but that may mean a new baby is on the way
1. Develop skin marks on your body.
Skin scars are fleshy skin growths that can develop all over your body during pregnancy because of changes in hormone levels or weight gain. Skin marks often disappear after birth.
2. Have a watery mouth.
Nausea accompanies excessive saliva, also known as ptyalism gravidarum, and vomiting. I do not know it why this happens, but some pregnant women need paper cups or tissues to control excess saliva.
3. Food tastes like metal to you.
In early pregnancy, food may have a sour and metallic taste, a phenomenon called dysgeusia. Swallowing acidic foods or rinsing your teeth with salt or baking soda after brushing can ease this horrible metallic and sour taste.
4. Gums are sore
Changes in diet and hormone levels can cause pain and bleeding gums during pregnancy, known as gestational gingivitis. This gum disease will go away, but to relieve the pain, practice good oral hygiene with gentle brushing.
5. Runny nose
Pregnancy rhinitis affects 20% of pregnant women who experience sneezing and runny nose. These irritating symptoms are temporary and can beseech with regular exercise, moisturizer, nasal spray, and decongestants.
6. You come short of breath.
In the early stages of pregnancy, changes in hormone levels can cause shortness of breath. To improve your breathing during pregnancy, you need to practice good posture and attentive breathing techniques.
7. You suddenly develop a strong sense of smell.
Pregnant women may have an increased sense of smell or hyperosmia, especially towards perfumes, coffee, gasoline or spoiled food. Fortunately, hyperosmia is only temporary and ends after the first trimester.
8. You want non-food, like stone or soap.
Some pregnant women have reported cravings for corn starch, raw rice, chalk, soap and metal. I knew this desire as pizza, which is the desire to consume non-food. If you suddenly feel like trying a piece of stone, see your doctor right away.
