Constipation and bloating during pregnancy are mainly caused by the hormone progesterone, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the body, slowing down the movement of food through the digestive tract. This can lead to gas, bloating, and constipation. To manage these issues:
Frequent urination during pregnancy is caused by hormonal changes and increased blood volume, which leads to the production of more urine. Additionally, the growing uterus presses on the bladder, especially during the first and third trimesters. To manage frequent urination:
Limit diuretic drinks such as tea and coffee.
Lean forward slightly when urinating to ensure complete bladder emptying.
Perform Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic muscles and reduce urinary leakage.
Drink the recommended amount of fluids during the day and limit fluid intake in the late evening to reduce nighttime trips to the bathroom.
You should seek medical attention if you experience pain or a burning sensation while urinating, or if your urine appears cloudy or has a foul smell. These symptoms may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI), which requires treatment by your doctor.
Period pain, also called dysmenorrhea, happens when you get cramps and other uncomfortable symptoms during your period. This pain can make it hard to focus on work or school and may even stop you from doing your regular activities. There are two types: primary dysmenorrhea, which occurs without any illness, and secondary dysmenorrhea, which is linked to problems in the reproductive organs.
