HAEMORRHOIDS also knows as PILES putting it its lumps in your anus ,the pressure in your uterus  restricts the blood flow and causes vessels to swell,but what a place to get them they r unconfertable they may bleed and they

can hurt to,if you get constipation it can make them worst so eat healthy and eat allot of whole grains ,vegetables,chicken,brocolli,tuna,etc,avoid hot baths try using a lotion instead called anusol it might help.

HEADACHES  u might get some of this due to the lack of sleep,being tired,your hormones,stress,the best remedy is massage your neck and sides of your head  or get your partner to do it ,eat regular meals and drink plenty of water.

HEARTBURN burning in your chest a sour taste in your mouth like something died in there lol  but its all because its caused by your sphincter that closes your stomach is allowing acid to spill out  and the presure from your baby in your uterus  avoid spicy food ,eat frequently,drink plenty of milk or have yogurt.dont bend over and try to lie flat if you can and rud your chest.

INCONTINENCE less blood flow to your kidneys means more toilet brakes making your bladder control sometimes non excistence or harder to hold  drink plenty of fluids and go to the toilet very often do not hold it in ,when your going to cough tighten your muscles before doing do.

ITCHING AND RASH caused by hormones,dry and stretched skin,over heating ,tired, you mayb have an alergy to soap or even some foods,try wearing cotton.

NASAL BLOCKAGED it feels like you have a stuffed up nose or have the flu your oestrogen is softening so this might happen ,just blow ur nose gently ,inhale some steal with a few drops of eucalyptus or vicks,in a bowl of hot water.

NAUSEA  OR VOMITING  this is very common wih pregnancy its your hormones that do this ,not much you can do but eat small amunt of food regularly and stay away from anything that may make you feel sick and have plenty of crackers and water in hand .just eat what ever will stay down,make sure you carry a sick bag in case you vomit in public and if it gets to bad so see your doctor.

PELVIC PAIN well this is caused by your muscles softening to get your ready for the birth keep your bladder empty becasue if  you dont and your baby pushes agaist it  its more painful, put a pillow between your knees and maybe one under your back to help with the new arch you have and when turning in bed bend your knees and turn slowly.

RIB PAINS  you can fell this under your breast or on the side under your arms  this is caused because of your uterus expanding  get a good bra ,sit up straight .

SCIATICA this is a pain you might feel low in your buttocks or a shotting pain down your leg  which is cause by your baby pressing in your nerves,rest allot and try not to move fast.

SLEEPING PROBLEMS  this is caused by anxiety disconfort ,maybe all the tris your taking to the toilet,try a warm bath a warm drink like tea ,milk or hot chocolate ,relaxing music  and if you need a nap during the day then take it .

STRETCH MARKS you get this red or pinky marks that apear on your skin some fade to  a silvery colour its all caused by the stretching of the skinspecially if your very small one minute then you put on weight really fast when pregnant oils and creams cannot prevent it or cure this embrace them most of us will have them forever as a reminder of this experience.

SWOLLEN ANKLES oestrogen alters your sodium /potassium balances  making your ankles retain extra fluids .avoid stockings with elastic and put your feet up regurlarly  and wear flat shoes .

THRUSH ohhhh this is a bad one its unconfertable itchy and can make you sore ,if your vagina is sore itchy and has a cudle like discharge you have it ,its due to poor sugar control and the extra oestrogen in pregnancy wear cotton underwear try not to scratch have at least 2 showers a day avoid pools  as the chemicals will make it worst,no perfumed soap wipe yourself from front to back,and go to the doctor he will give you some cream to make it beter and eat some live  yougurt to redused the bacteria in your system do not use it in your vagina ,it dont work for everyone.

VARICOSE VEINS  blue bulges in your legs or vulva caused by the hormones softening the vein walls ,take brisk walks or leg excercising,dont cross your legs  or wear tight clothes,and avoid standing for to long .

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ sleep allot your going to be getting up for the baby an dmaybe your todlers if you have any so sleep well and good luck.
