12 Minor Disorders of Pregnancy

Introduction
During pregnancy, a woman’s body changes in many ways — These changes can sometimes be uncomfortable, but most of the time they are normal.

They can occur at any time during the pregnancy with good education and prompt treatment you will get over it.

You will also know about some remedies that are dangerous for pregnant women and may hurt the baby.

1 Digestive and food-related disorders
There are several very common disorders of pregnancy that relate to food, or the digestion of food.

1.1 Nausea, vomiting and hyperemesis gravidarum
Many women have nausea and vomiting in the first trimester (3 months) of pregnancy, which is often called morning sickness.
It happens commonly in the morning when the woman gets out of bed.
Excessive salivation is an infrequent but troublesome complaint which is associated with a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum — caused by severe and frequent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

Important! Hyperemesis gravidarum can be a serious disorder, for which a woman may be admitted to hospital or a health centre.

Management of mild nausea

If the nausea is mild, try any of these.

Before bed or during the night, eat a food that contains protein, such as beans, nuts or cheese.
Eat a few bananas, dry bread, or other grain food.

waking up in the morning.
Eat many small meals instead of two or three larger ones, and take small sips of liquid often.

Drinking a hot drink.
Drink a cup of mint, cinnamon or ginger tea two or three times a day, before meals. Put a teaspoon of mint leaves, or a stick of cinnamon, in a cup of boiling water and let the tea sit for a few minutes before drinking it.

1.2 Food dislikes and food cravings
A pregnant woman may suddenly dislike a food that she usually likes.
It is OK not to eat that food, and she will probably begin to like it again after the birth.

A food craving (also known as pica) is a strong desire to eat a certain food, or even something that is not food at all, like black soil, chalk or clay.
If you gets a craving for nutritious foods (like beans, eggs, fruits or vegetables), it is OK to eat as much as you wants.

1.3 Heartburn
A burning feeling or pain in the stomach, or between the breasts, is called indigestion or heartburn.
Heartburn happens because the growing baby crowds the mother’s stomach and pushes it higher than usual

The acids in the mother’s stomach that help digest food are pushed up into her chest, where they cause a burning feeling.
This is not dangerous and usually goes away after the birth.

Management
Here are some things you can try to make you feel more comfortable:

Keep your stomach less full by eating smaller meals more often, and by eating foods and drinking liquids separately.
Avoid eating spicy or greasy foods, drinking coffee, or smoking cigarettes, as all of them can irritate the stomach.
Regularly eat papaya or pineapple, which have enzymes (special chemicals) that help the stomach to digest food.
Keep your head higher than your stomach when lying down or sleeping.
This will keep your stomach acids in d stomach and out of her chest.
Calm the acids in the stomach by drinking milk, or taking a low-salt antacid (stomach-calming liquid or tablet)

1.4 Constipation
Some pregnant women have difficulty in passing stools. This is called constipation.
It is caused by hormonal changes that decrease the rhythmic muscular movements of the gut (peristalsis), which push food along the intestines.
This results in an increase in ‘emptying time’, how long it takes for a meal to be digested and the waste matter expelled as stools.

Management

To prevent or treat constipation, a pregnant woman should:

Eat more fruits and vegetables.

Drink at least eight cups of clean water a day.

Walk, move and exercise every day.

2.2 Swollen veins
There are many reasons why pregnant women may develop swollen veins in different parts of the body. Here are two of the most common.

2.1 Varicosities (varicose veins)
Important! Genital varicosities can cause bleeding if they tear during birth, any woman who has this problem should visit the hospital or health centre.

Swollen blue veins that appear in the legs are called varicosities, or varicose veins, and are very common in pregnancy.
Sometimes these veins hurt.
Pressure by the enlarging uterus on the veins that return blood to the heart from the legs is a major factor in the development of varicosities in the leg veins.
Very rarely, swollen veins may develop in the external Instruments and these are very painful.

Management

If the swollen veins are in the legs, they may feel better if the you put your feet up often.
Strong stockings or elastic bandages may also help.
If the swollen veins are around the genitals, a panty-girdle or sanitary pad may help to support them.

2.2 Haemorrhoids (piles)
Haemorrhoids (also known as piles) are swollen veins around the anus.
They may burn, hurt, or itch.
Sometimes they bleed when the woman passes a stool, especially if she is constipated.
Sitting or standing a lot can make haemorrhoids worse.

Management
You should try to avoid getting constipated by eating a lot of fruit and vegetables and drinking plenty of fluids.

Straining to pass hard stools makes haemorrhoids worse.
Sitting in a cool bath or lying down can help.

3 Aches and pains
3.1 Back pain
Many pregnant women get back pain.
The weight of the baby, the uterus and the amniotic fluid, changes her posture and puts a strain on the woman’s bones and muscles.
Too much standing in one place, or leaning forward, or hard physical work, can cause back pain.
Most kinds of back pain are normal in pregnancy.

Management
Your husband, children, other family members or friends can massage your back.
A warm cloth or hot water bottle on her back may also feel good.

Your family can also help by doing some of the heavy work, such as carrying small children, washing clothes, farming, and milling grain.
frequent bed rest, may relieve severe back pain.

3.2 Joint pain
Hormones in the third trimester (six to nine months of pregnancy) act on the woman’s joints so they get softer and looser.
This makes her joints more flexible, including the joints between the bones in her pelvis.

3.3 Leg cramps
Many pregnant women get foot or leg cramps — sharp sudden pain and tightening of a muscle.
These cramps especially come at night, or when women stretch and point their toes.
To stop the cramp, flex the foot (point it upward) and then gently stroke the leg to help it relax (do not stroke hard).

Management

To prevent more cramps, you should not point your toes (even when stretching), and you should eat more foods high in calcium and potassium, which can help.

3.4 Sudden pain in the side of the lower belly.

The uterus is held in place ‘suspended’ by ligaments on each side.
Ligaments are like ropes that attach the uterus to the mother’s abdomen.
A sudden movement will sometimes cause a sharp pain in these ligaments.
This is not dangerous. The pain will usually stop in a few minutes. It may help to stroke the belly gently, or to put a warm cloth on it.

3.5 Abdominal cramps in early pregnancy.
It is normal to have mild abdominal cramps (like mild monthly bleeding cramps) at times during the first trimester of pregnancy.
These cramps happen because the uterus is growing. However, cramps that are regular (come and go in a pattern), or constant (always there), or are very strong or painful, or come with spotting or bleeding from the vagina, are warning signs. Visit the hospital.

3.6 Headaches and migraines
Headaches are common in pregnancy, but are usually harmless.
Headaches may stop if you rests and relaxes more, drinks more water, or gently massages your temples.
It is OK for a pregnant woman to take two paracetamol tablets with a glass of water once in a while.

However, headaches late in pregnancy may be a warning sign of pre-eclampsia, especially if there is also high blood pressure, or swelling of the face or hands.

4 Minor disorders in other body systems

4.1 Oedema
Swelling of the feet and ankles is very common in pregnancy, especially in the afternoon, or in hot weather.
It is due to the retention of fluids in the body tissues. Under the force of gravity, the retained fluid tends to sink down the body and collect in the feet.

You are advised to sit with your feet raised as often as possible, to allow the fluid to be absorbed back into the circulatory system.
Swelling of the feet is usually not dangerous, but severe swelling when you wakes up in the morning, or swelling of the hands and face at any time, can be signs of pre-eclampsia, which is a very serious condition.

Management

Swelling in the feet may improve if you puts your feet up for a few minutes at least two or three times a day, avoids eating packaged foods that are very salty, and drinks more water.

4.2 Frequency of urination
Urinary frequency is a common complaint throughout pregnancy, especially in the first and last months.
This happens because the growing fetus and uterus presses against the bladder.
It will stop once the baby is born.
If urinating hurts, itches, or burns, then it may be a bladder infection. Visit the hospital.

4.3 Vaginal discharge
Discharge is the wetness all women have from the vagina.
A woman’s body uses this discharge to clean itself from the inside.
For most women, the discharge changes during their monthly cycle.
Pregnant women often have a lot of discharge, especially near the end of pregnancy.
It may be clear or yellowish. This is normal. However, the discharge can be a sign of an infection if it is white, grey, green, lumpy, or has a bad smell, or if the vagina itches or burns. If you experience this visit the hospital.


4.4 Feeling hot or sweating a lot
Feeling hot is very common in pregnancy, and as long as there are no other warning signs (such as signs of infection), the woman should not worry.

You can dress in cool clothes, bathe frequently, use a paper fan or a large leaf, and drink plenty of water and other fluids.

4.5 Dyspnoea (shortness of breath)
Many women get short of breath (cannot breathe as deeply as usual) when they are pregnant.
This condition is called dyspnoea.
If you are are breathless near the end of pregnancy that is normal.
But if you are also weak and tired, or you are short of breath all of the time, you should be checked for signs of sickness, heart problems, anaemia, or poor diet.
Get medical advice if you think you may have any of these problems.

4.6 Difficulty in getting up and down
It is better if a pregnant woman does not lie flat on her back, because it can be difficult for her to get up again, and because when a woman is on her back, the weight of the uterus presses on the big blood vessels that return blood to her heart.
This can temporarily reduce the supply of oxygen to her brain, and she may feel dizzy.
If the woman wants to be on her back, she should put something behind her back and under her knees so she is not lying completely flat.

A pregnant woman should also be careful how she gets up.

4.7 Chloasma (the mask of pregnancy)
The dark colouration is not harmful and that usually most of the colour goes away after the birth.

5 Changing feelings and emotions
Pregnancy is an important time in a woman’s life.
Her baby is growing inside her, her body is changing, and she needs more food and more rest.
As a woman’s body changes, her relationships, her sexuality, and her work life can change too.

5.1 Sudden changes in feelings
Pregnancy can make women very emotional.
Some women laugh or cry for no clear reason.
Some feel depressed, angry, or irritable.
Odd laughing or crying, and other sudden mood changes or strong feelings, are normal.
They usually pass quickly.
But do not ignore a woman’s feelings simply because she is pregnant. Her feelings are real.

5.2 Worry and fear
Many women worry when they are pregnant, especially about the baby’s health and about giving birth.
A woman’s worries about other problems in her life may also become stronger when she is pregnant.
Such worries are normal.
They do not mean that something bad will happen. Women with these feelings need emotional support, like someone to listen to their worries and encourage them to feel hopeful.
They may also need help to solve the problems they are having in their lives, like problems with their partners, money, drugs or alcohol, or other issues.

5.3 Sleep problems

Some pregnant women feel sleepy much of the day. This is normal during the first three months.
Their bodies are telling them to slow down and rest. There is no need to intervene unless the woman also feels weak, which may be a sign that she has a more serious problem, like a sickness, depression or anaemia.

Sometimes pregnant women have problems in sleeping; they may find it difficult to get to sleep, or they wake up after a short time and cannot get back to sleep.
This problem is called insomnia.

Management of insomnia

If you can cannot sleep because you are uncomfortable or restless,

lie on your side with something comfortable between your knees and at your lower back.
You can use a pillow, a rolled-up blanket, or some other padding.
Someone can give you a massage.


5.4 Strange dreams and nightmares.
Pregnant women may have strong, vivid dreams.
They can be beautiful, strange, or frightening.
For many people, dreams are an important way of understanding themselves and the world.
Some people believe that dreams can tell us about the future, or give us messages from spirits.
But usually, when something happens in a dream,
it does not mean that it will happen to us in life.
The events in the dream may be telling us what we are afraid of, or what we desire. Or they may simply be stories our minds make up while we sleep.
Pregnant women who are having frightening dreams may need someone to talk to about their hopes, fears and feelings.

5.5 Forgetfulness
Some women are more likely to forget things when they are pregnant. For most women, this is not a big problem.
But some may worry if they do not know it is normal. No one knows why women become more forgetful when they are pregnant, but it is common.

5.6 Feelings about sex.
Some women do not want much sex when they are pregnant.
Others want sex more than usual. Both feelings are normal.
Having sex, and not having sex, are both OK for the woman and her baby.
Sex is not dangerous for the baby.
Sometimes sex is uncomfortable in pregnancy.
You and your partner can try different positions for making love.
It may feel better with the You on top, or in a sitting or standing position, or with the you lying on your side.

6 Conclusion.
A woman’s body changes during pregnancy.
These changes can sometimes cause discomfort, but mostly they are normal and will resolve themselves after the baby is born.

You can minimise most of the minor disorders during pregnancy with advice on diet, exercise, and with simple remedies that are known to be safe and help you feel better.

Sometimes these minor problems may become more serious, or signal a serious underlying health problem that needs referral to a health facility..

Its my prayer that at the end of 9 months you will carry your babies alive.

*Swollen Feet During Pregnancy*

Ah, the joys of pregnancy
While you may be enjoying the magical time that is pregnancy — it truly is miraculous how many restroom trips you can squeeze into one day — and eagerly anticipating the arrival of your sweet little bundle, there are some less than magical side effects that many mothers-to-be experience.

Your body is changing rapidly, which can get a little uncomfortable. One discomfort that many women experience is swollen feet.

*What causes this to happen, anyway* ?
When can you expect your feet to start puffing? Well, the good news is that it’s usually later on.
So you’ll likely recognize your feet for the first half or more of your pregnancy.

*First trimester*
Rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone (literally “pro gestation” or “pro pregnancy”) slow your digestion down.
This can cause abdominal bloating long before you have a noticeable baby bump.
You may notice a bit of puffiness in your hands, feet, or face, but not much.

If you notice a lot of swelling this early on, especially if accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or bleeding, it’s best to call your doctor.

Second trimester
The second trimester begins with week 13 of pregnancy (roughly the start of the fourth month).
It’s not unusual to start noticing swollen feet around the fifth month of pregnancy, especially if you’re on your feet a lot or the weather is hot.

This swelling is due to the increasing volume of blood and fluids in your body.
Your blood volume increases by about 50 percentTrusted Source (!) during the course of your pregnancy, and that’s paired with a lot of hormonal fluid retention.

While it may make your rings and shoes a little snug,
all this extra fluid helps to soften your body and prepare it for giving birth — and that’s exactly what you want. Rest assured, the extra fluid will rapidly decrease in the days and weeks after your baby is born.

Third trimester
Starting with week 28 of pregnancy, the third trimester is by far the most common time to experience swollen feet.
Especially as the weeks go on and you get closer to 40 weeks, your toes are more likely to resemble little sausages than anything else (yes, motherhood is glamorous).

Your body is continuing to build its supply of blood and fluids, which can contribute to swelling.
Your uterus is also getting much heavier as your baby grows, which can slow blood flow from the legs back to the heart. (Don’t worry, this isn’t dangerous — just uncomfortable.)

Other factors that can contribute to ballooning feet include:

hot weather
dietary imbalances
caffeine intake
not drinking enough water
being on your feet for long periods of time

*When to see a doctor*
Swollen feet are a very normal part of pregnancy — many of your fellow moms-to-be can commiserate!
So most of the time, swollen feet are just another sign of all the hard work your body is doing to grow that new little life.

However, swollen feet can sometimes be a sign of a more serious problem.
One of these problems is called preeclampsia. This is a condition that can develop during pregnancy and causes dangerously high blood pressure.

Call your doctor if you notice:

sudden swelling of your hands, feet, face, or around your eyes
swelling that gets dramatically worse
dizziness or blurred vision
a severe headache
confusion
difficulty breathing
If you notice swelling in just one leg that is also accompanied by pain, redness, or heat, this could mean you have a deep vein thrombosis, or DVT.

A DVT is a blood clot, usually in your leg. It’s important to call your doctor if you notice these symptoms,
as pregnant women are more likely to get blood clots than the average person (thanks once again, hormones).

If you’re unsure whether your swelling is normal, or have any concerns, it is always best to call your doctor or midwife.
They’re happy to help keep you and your baby safe and healthy!


*How to get relief*
While swollen feet may or may not be painful, they can certainly be uncomfortable or bothersome.

Fortunately, there are a number of simple ways to ease your symptoms during pregnancy. Even better? They may involve snacks, a cold drink, swimming, massage, and possibly shoe shopping.
Doesn’t sound so bad, right?

*1. Reduce sodium intake*
One way to reduce swelling during pregnancy is to limit your sodium (or salt) intake.
Salt makes your body hold on to extra water.

Try to avoid canned or processed foods, as these are especially high in sodium. Also try not to put extra table salt on your food.

*2. Increase potassium intake*
Not getting enough potassium can also make swelling worse, as potassium helps your body balance the amount of fluids it holds onto.

Your prenatal vitamin should have some extra potassium for you, but it’s also important to eat good sources of dietary potassium.

Some foods that are naturally high in potassium include:

potatoes with the skin on
sweet potatoes (also with the skin)
bananas
spinach
beans, some fruit juices (prune, pomegranate, orange, carrot, and passionfruit in particular)
yogurt
beets
salmon
lentils

*3. Reduce caffeine intake*
While occasional caffeine during pregnancy isn’t harmful, drinking too much caffeine isn’t considered great for baby. It can also make swelling worse.

Caffeine is a diuretic, which causes you to pee more, which then makes your body think it needs to hold on to fluid.

Try a decaf coffee with milk or an herbal tea such as peppermint to help give you a little energy boost instead.

*4. Drink more water*
As strange as it sounds to drink more water to counteract swelling, it actually works. If your body thinks you’re dehydrated, it will hold on to even more fluid to try to compensate.

So try to drink at least 10 glasses of water every day to keep your kidneys flushing out the bad stuff and your body happily hydrated.

If it feels daunting to drink that much water, try getting a cute cup that you’ll want to keep refilling, or a giant water bottle that you’ll only have to refill a couple times a day.
You can also flavor your water with lemon, mint, or berries to make it more enjoyable.

*5. Elevate your feet and rest*
Even though you have a million things you want to get done before the baby arrives, try to sit and put your feet up when possible.

While sitting all the time isn’t great for your circulation, standing all the time is also hard on your beautiful pregnant body.

Sitting with your feet elevated for a little while — especially at the end of the day — can help drain the fluid that’s been pooling in your legs over the course of the day.

*6. Wear loose, comfortable clothing*
Wearing tight clothing, especially around your wrists, waist, and ankles, can make swelling worse. Basically, it keeps blood from circulating as easily.

Try to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes — or at least avoid tight elastic bands. Maternity maxi dresses in the summer and flowy cardigans or sweaters with joggers in the winter can be both cute and comfortable.

*7. Stay cool*
Especially if you’re pregnant during the hot summer months, staying indoors during the heat of the day and avoiding vigorous exercise can help keep you cool and reduce swelling.

You can also wear cool clothing, put cold compresses on your feet, or keep a fan nearby.

*8. Wear waist-high compression stockings*
Yes, these are just about as sexy as they sound. But if you’re experiencing persistently swollen feet, or have to be on your feet most of the time, you can wear waist-high compression stockings.

These stockings gently squeeze your feet and legs to help keep fluid circulating.
Try to avoid the knee-high compression stockings, as they may be too tight in the middle of your leg and actually make swelling worse.

*9. Walk*
Going for even a 5- or 10-minute walk a couple times a day can help improve your circulation, which helps reduce swelling.

This can also be a good break in your day, and it’s a great way to get pregnancy-safe exercise.

*10. Wear comfortable shoes*
While you may look adorable in your high heels, late pregnancy is a good time to give them a break. Wearing comfortable (even orthotic), well-fitting shoes is key to reducing foot swelling, as well as to preventing hip and back problems that can arise as your center of gravity shifts and your weight increases.

In addition to swelling, the ligaments in your body (including your feet) actually do stretch during pregnancy, so your feet may change size.
Some women’s feet return to their pre-pregnancy size, but many women find that their feet are permanently a half-size or so larger.

It may be annoying that one more thing is changing, or that some of your beloved shoes no longer fit, but this is an excellent excuse to go splurge on some new favorites.

*11. Swim*
There are no studies proving that water pressure reduces swelling during pregnancy, but many women do find relief from swelling when they spend time in the pool.

Try standing or swimming in a pool where the water depth is almost up to your neck. At the very least, you will feel lighter, cooler, and get a little exercise.
You may also find that your feet and legs are less swollen.

*12. Get a massage*
Your partner may be looking for ways to be involved during the pregnancy process, and this is the perfect opportunity.

Massage helps circulate the fluids that tend to accumulate in your feet, which will in turn reduce swelling.

So grab your water bottle, put your feet up, and let your partner gently massage your feet and legs.
Adding some peppermint or lavender essential oil can make this even more relaxing.

*13. Sleep on your left side*
Sleeping on your left side when possible can improve blood flow, which reduces swelling of the feet.
Lying on your left side takes the pressure of your uterus off of the inferior vena cava, which is the large blood vessel that returns blood to your heart.

*The takeaway*
Swollen feet are a very common side effect of pregnancy.
Swelling is caused by increased fluid volume in your body, as well as decreased circulation.

If you experience sudden or severe swelling, it’s important to call your doctor, as this may be a sign of something more serious. But a little swelling is definitely normal.

You can help prevent foot swelling by getting regular gentle exercise, drinking plenty of water, resting, and eating a balanced diet.

Before you know it, your shoes will fit again and the only feet you’ll be focusing on will be those tiny baby toes!

Congratulations bc at the end of 9 months you will carry your baby.

*6 tips for relief of Back pain in Pregnancy* .

Back pain during pregnancy isn't surprising, but it still deserves attention.
Consider six ways to relieve back pain during pregnancy — from good posture and physical activity to complementary therapies.

Back pain during pregnancy is a common complaint — and it's no wonder.
You're gaining weight, your center of gravity changes, and your hormones are relaxing the ligaments in the joints of your pelvis.
Often, however, you can prevent or ease back pain during pregnancy.

1. *Practice good posture*
As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts forward.
To avoid falling forward, you might compensate by leaning back — which can strain the muscles in your lower back and contribute to back pain during pregnancy.
Keep these principles of good posture in mind:

Stand up straight and tall.
Hold your chest high.
Keep your shoulders back and relaxed.
Don't lock your knees.
When you stand, use a comfortably wide stance for the best support.
If you must stand for long periods of time, rest one foot on a low step stool — and take time for frequent breaks.

Good posture also means sitting with care.
Choose a chair that supports your back, or place a small pillow behind your lower back.

*2. Get the right gear*
Wear low-heeled — if possible flat that grips — shoes with good arch support.
Avoid high heels, which can further shift your balance forward and cause you to fall.

*3. Lift properly*
When lifting a small object, squat down and lift with your legs. Don't bend at the waist or lift with your back. It's also important to know your limits.
Ask for help if you need it.

*4. Sleep on your side*
Sleep on your side, not your back. Keep one or both knees bent.
Consider using pregnancy or support pillows between your bent knees, under your abdomen and behind your back.

5. *Include physical activity in your daily routine*
Regular physical activity can keep your back strong and might relieve back pain during pregnancy.
With your health care provider's OK, try gentle activities — such as walking or water exercise..swimming
A physical therapist also can show you stretches and exercises that might help.

You might also stretch your lower back.
Rest on your hands and knees with your head in line with your back.
Pull in your stomach, rounding your back slightly. Hold for several seconds, then relax your stomach and back — keeping your back as flat as possible.

6.
Know when to consult your health care provider
If you have severe back pain during pregnancy or back pain that lasts more than two weeks, talk to your health care provider. He or she might recommend medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or other treatments.

Keep in mind that back pain during pregnancy might be a sign of preterm labor or a urinary tract infection.
If you have back pain during pregnancy that's accompanied by vaginal bleeding, fever or burning during urination, contact your health care provider right away.

Early labor: the days and hours before labor starts

You lose your mucous plug and your vaginal discharge changes color and consistency
You may also notice the loss of your mucous plug — the cork sealing off your uterus from the outside world. It can come out in one large piece (it looks similar to the mucus in your nose) or lots of little ones, though you may not get a glimpse of it at all and some women don't lose it before delivery.

In the last days before labor, you'll likely see increased and/or thickened vaginal discharge. This thickened, pinkish discharge is called bloody show and is a good indication that labor is imminent.

But without contractions or dilation of 3 to 4 centimeters, labor could still be a few days away.

You feel stronger, more frequent contractions
Contractions are an early sign of active labor — except when they aren’t. You can experience Braxton Hicks contractions (or "practice contractions" for weeks and even months before delivery.
You’ll feel their pinch as the muscles in your uterus tighten in preparation for their big moment: pushing that baby out.

How can you tell the difference between real and false labor contractions? Look for these signs of real labor:

If you’re active, real contractions get stronger instead of easing up the way Braxton Hicks contractions do.
If you change positions, labor contractions don’t go away but Braxton Hicks often do.
Real contractions progress, becoming more frequent and more painful as time goes on, often falling into a regular pattern. Each one won't necessarily be more painful or longer than the one before it, but the intensity tends to build over time as labor progresses. Frequency doesn't always increase in a regular pattern, either, but it does gradually increase. Braxton Hicks contractions come and go without getting more intense over time.
Early real labor contractions could feel like strong menstrual cramps, stomach upset or lower abdominal pressure. Pain could be in the lower abdomen or both there and the lower back, and it could radiate down into the legs. The location of the pain isn't as reliable an indicator of true vs. practice contractions, though, because Braxton Hicks contractions can also be felt in all those places.

Your water breaks
While movies would have you think you’ll learn you’re in labor only when your water breaks (in the middle of a romantic dinner date at a busy restaurant, of course), that’s a very unlikely scenario.

Your water breaking is actually one of the final signs of labor most women experience — and it happens in only around 15 percent of births or fewer. So don’t count on it as a telltale, surefire sign of labor.

Still feel like you won’t know when to announce “It’s time!” and get ready to meet your baby? Try not to stress about it. You’ll be seeing your doctor or midwife frequently now, and he or she will help you spot all the important clues.

My able cappo .. I greet you o. This my girl is kicking like a boy o . Abeg, as a FTM, I need tips for third trimester. I don't know what contraction feels like. And the procedure for labour. They don't give us lecture at our antenatal. They just check our vitals and give routine drugs.
I'll appreciate small lecture and tips for third trimester and labour. Thanks Cappo

*Positive ways to prepare for labour*

*1. Empower yourself*
Every woman is different. Our bodies are different, our babies are different and no 2 births are the same.

That’s why it’s useful to find out more about labour and birth. Understanding more about your options, and the pros and cons of each, can help you feel more confident in making decisions about how you want to deliver your baby.

You can also talk to your midwife if there is anything you’re particularly concerned about. They will answer any questions you have and explain what can be done to deliver your baby safely in every possible scenario.
You are free to ask any questions too on this platform.

You may also find antenatal classes helpful.

You may also have a look around the birthing facilities at your hospital. This may help you decide where you want to give birth and picture how things may be on the day.
Our birthing suite is also available for 125k only.

*2. Prepare your mind*
Try not to listen to horror stories about labour as these are really unhelpful if you’re feeling nervous.
Try to remember that for every bad experience, there is a mum out there with a positive story to tell.

This can be hard, especially if you’ve had a bad experience yourself. But try to think positively as much as possible. Lots of mums tell us it really helps to have a positive outlook.

You can also check out on positive birth stories on the internet and read positive books, which can impact positively on your state of mind."

*3. Prepare your body*
Labour often requires strength and stamina, so it’s important to prepare your body for it.
Exercise during pregnancy can also be a great way to de-stress.

*4. Practise relaxation techniques*
Using breathing techniques can help calm your nerves (before and after labour) and control the pain.
You can practise all the way through pregnancy to ensure you’re comfortable using them when labour starts.

*Second time mums*
If you’re concerned about giving birth again, it might help to talk about what happened first time round.

5. *Go over your labour notes* and
Talk through your labour notes in detail with your midwife.
All the teachings in ANC and on this platform, This will help you fill in any gaps in your memory, ask questions about why things happened the way they did and give you a chance to think about what you’d like to do differently.

*What to expect when your waters break*
If your waters break naturally, you may feel a slow trickle or a sudden gush of fluid that you can’t stop.

Your waters may break before you go to hospital but are more likely to break during labour.

*Braxton Hicks*
Braxton Hicks contractions are the body’s way of preparing for labour, but if you have them it doesn’t mean your labour has started.


At the end of your pregnancy, you may have some signs that your baby will arrive very soon, even though you may not go into labour for a little while yet.

The Lord will make so easy for you, and you will soon carry your baby at the end of 9 months IJMN.
