Please note: The most common prescribed drugs for pregnancy are antibiotics and
there are very few that can harm a developing baby.

Some women are concerned that if they were using contraceptives when they became
pregnant that it could have caused problems. Not so. First of all, there is no evidence
that hormonal contraception cause problems for developing embryo and fetus.
The same holds true with spermicidal and postcoital (morning after pills).

However, there have been reported instances of miscarriages due to the use of IUD’s
because of the presence of a foreign body in the uterus, causing inflammation and
infection. If you were using an IUD please consult your physician to understand more
about these potential problems.

Many women have questions about the date of possible conception, and unfortunately
figuring this out is not always so easy. The assumption is that if you have pretty regular
menstrual cycles, then you will be ovulating during a certain time of the month.

What does it mean if I have symptoms of pregnancy but then have a heavy

If you are having some weird symptoms that made you think you may be pregnant, but
then have heavy bleeding, you may want to see a healthcare provider to find out what is
going on.

This could be caused by a hormonal imbalance, an infection, or a possible miscarriage.

But the only way to know for sure is by seeking medical care. A home pregnancy test
can be helpful to see if you might be pregnant.

Should I be worried if I am pregnant and have some mild cramping?

Pregnant women can have some light cramping early in pregnancy. The cramping is
often like light menstrual cramps through the lower abdomen or on one side or the
other. The cramping is often a result of all the changes that are occurring in the uterus.
The uterus is experiencing change as the implanted egg begins to grow and develop.
Some light cramping may also be from the small cyst that can develop on the ovary at
ovulation called the corpus luteum cyst. A small cyst forms in the spot on the ovary
where the egg pops out before making its journey to the uterus. This cyst then produces
progesterone until the placenta has formed enough to begin producing its own
progesterone.

This small cyst can cause some discomfort for women in early pregnancy. If the pain
becomes more severe, it may be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. Severe pain in
pregnancy is a reason to seek immediate medical care.

If I have a negative pregnancy test after I have missed my period, does that mean

The Three Trimesters Of Pregnancy

Normal pregnancy lasts about

nine months, so it’s natural to
divide it into three equal parts
of three months each. Each
of these parts is called a
Trimester.

During your first trimester you

will notice many changes
happening with your body and most of it will not be what you expected. Your hair, skin
and even your nails may change and you will need to know what adjustments you
should make as you enter and end your first trimester.

All this will be covered over the next few modules, but let’s first see what’s happening
with your baby during this period.

What’s Happening With Your Baby?

The First Trimester

At Week 4…
Your fertilized egg has already divided and moves down into the
uterus. At the moment of fertilization the sex of your baby is
determined. My husband takes great pride in the fact that HE made
the decision of having boys or girls (the male sperm chromosome
Y determines the sex). So pat your partner on the back and say
“congratulations!” you have a great deal of impact on our baby
other than just having a good time with me!!

The dividing cells have all the necessary imbedded information

for your developing baby to grow into a human being. Your baby
begins to form from this single fertilized egg; the cell starts to
divide into 2 cells, then 4, 8 and so on rapidly. Forty-six
chromosomes combined, which pre-determine all of a person's
physical characteristics.

 BIG book of Pregnancy Safety Tips

Your egg is still rapidly dividing as it floats down from the fallopian tube and towards the
uterus. The embryo first moves into the uterus at about 80 hours after ovulation. And
implantation begins about 3 days later. When it reaches the uterus, the fertilized egg
burrows into the lining of the uterus.

Implantation

At this stage the fertilized egg is now called a blastocyst; it is a fluid

filled cluster of 50 to 60 cells, still multiplying madly. Implantation
of the blastocyst occurs at about day 5 to day 8 of embryo
development. IVF embryos are usually transferred into the uterus
around this stage. The developing embryo is only one-hundredth of
an inch long, but is rapidly developing. It can reproduce itself
through twinning at any time up to about 14 days after conception;
this is how identical twins are caused. The site of the implantation will be the place
where the placenta attaches to the uterine wall. After the blastocyst has implanted, it will
start to release a hormone called human gonadotrophin hormone (hcg) into your blood
stream. (chg. levels provide the basis for detecting a pregnancy with a pregnancy test)

The chg. level starts off very low, but the concentration rapidly increases on the
following days to produce physical pregnancy signs in the woman. These hormonal
signals tell the lining of the uterus to stay in place and not disintegrate as it normally
would during menstruation.

At this time you may have an intuitive sense that something is up, you might have a
strange taste in your mouth, or your breasts may feel a little odd. These faint clues
could be the first signs that a baby is burrowing in. Your baby is the size of a pinhead!

Your newly fertilized egg divided until it formed a small ball of cells containing a
community yolk sack for sphere nutrition. This tiny of cells developed into a bag called
the amniotic sac which soon envelopes the embryo. This relationship is often described
as a “fist pushed into a small balloon containing water.” The part of the balloon that
covers the fist develops into your baby’s skin.

Distributed By www.safepregnancy.net | Error! No text of specified style in document. 11

 BIG book of Pregnancy Safety Tips

The rest of the balloon becomes the amniotic sac that contains the water that surrounds
and protects your baby.

About three weeks after conception your embryo began to develop

it’s nervous system and a very rudimentary brain area with two
distinct brain lobes. The spinal cord now extends down and curls
under like a tail.

By the end of the first month, all major organs of your baby’s body
are developing. Leg and arm buds appear, the face shows the
beginning of eyes and nose.

Nutrition
Good nutrition is absolutely critical during your pregnancy!

If you are like many women, after discovering you were

pregnant you expected to go “bam!” and feel pregnant
immediately. Guess what, you probably didn’t, and the
outcome may be that you didn’t meet our own expectations
soon enough and you are growing tired of waiting. You
might be tempted to eat, drink and sleep as you did before
you learned you were pregnant.

If you are of normal weight, you don't have to eat much more than usual during the first
12 weeks; your fetus's nutritional needs are minimal. After that, spread your weight gain
out over your second and third trimesters. While it will fluctuate from week to week, on
average you should gain about a pound per week, depending on your starting weight.
Adding 300 extra calories a day after the first 12 weeks will do the trick.

If you are starting out on the heavier side, avoid dieting the first trimester and focus on a
well-balanced diet. When the second trimester rolls around, aim for the gradual weight
gain recommended by the National Academy of Sciences. As was true in your non
pregnant state, a good way to control your weight is by exercising moderately three to
five times a week, doing an activity you enjoy.

Real And Serious Things You Need To Know

About & Common Problems During
Pregnancy

Above all else, please don’t let the following

information cause you more worry.

Knowledge is power, and with the proper

knowledge you are a very powerful pregnant
lady!

Many of the things you will be reading about in the next few minutes may never occur,
but it is good to know anyway.

We have often found that women visiting their doctors seldom are given the time to talk
about these things because they feel so rushed. It is the lucky woman who has a doctor
that will sit and listen to her ailments and problems as most doctors allow their patients
just minutes of their time before seeing the next person in line.

If you have an understanding of these things you can discuss them intelligently and
quickly. Your doctor will be appreciative and you will be well taken care of.

Another benefit to knowledge is that you can eliminate many of your worries, and as an
expectant mother we know you have many.

Common Problems During Pregnancy

Nasal Congestion

Sinusitis

The mucus membrane inside your nose and sinuses can swell up
during pregnancy because of the action of your hormones being
liberated into the bloodstream which are also (a good thing) softening
up your vagina and cervix. Some women seem to have a permanent
cold in lat pregnancy simply for this reason.

It won’t interfere with your breathing during labor so not to worry about this; however it
may be more comfortable breathing through your mouth because of it.

Mostly all you need do is take frequent sips of water or have a small plant spray
container filled with ice water to spray into your mouth between contractions and a lip
salve to moisturize your lips. The symptoms will
go away after delivery.

 BIG book of Pregnancy Safety Tips

You should avoid any position which allow pooling of blood in your legs such as; sitting
with your legs crossed or with your thighs pressing against the edge of a chair.

Foot exercises can help keep your blood moving. Should you be advised to wear
elastic stockings choose semi or full support styles. You should put them on before you
get up in the morning.

Hemorrhoids (piles) are varicose veins of the rectum and can cause constipation.
Obviously you should avoid straining while going to the bathroom and this condition
should be treated as quickly as possible because hemorrhoids can become prolapsed
(outside the rectum) and cause significant pain.

Don’t use over the counter medications for this, you need to see your doctor who may
prescribe a pain relieving cream. One thing that I have found safe to use (and doctor
approved) is a pad soaked in wych-hazel. This brings only temporary relief though.

Vaginal Varicose Veins

It is possible to develop varicose veins in your vagina though rare. I have found that the
discomfort can be relieved by putting some ice chips in a hanky and packing it against
the tender areas. This is a good time to lie down and get a little rest because you can’t
walk around like this. Also Vitamin B6 (the kind found in your pre-natal vitamins) is
helpful, but check with your doctor prior to taking additional B6 first.

Constipation

Ugh! My worst problem for two of my boys.

If you’ve never been constipated before, now is the time it could happen. You are more
likely to become constipated during pregnancy because of the extra hormones
produced. These can cause your intestines to relax and become less efficient. You can
help guard against this by eating the right foods, including plenty
of fruits, vegetables, fiber and whole grains and don’t forget to
drink lots of water or juices.

While on the potty allow your pelvic floor to be fully relaxed.

Take your time “doing your business”.

I found that taking brisk daily walks helped a lot when I was constipated and you
probably will as well.

Bladder Control & Infections

During the first three months or so of your pregnancy your baby and growing uterus are
pressing against your bladder. The additional progesterone flowing through your
bloodstream is softening the tissues. The result; you get to go to the bathroom more
often! Yeah.

You will probably find this becomes a more frequent thing near the end of your
pregnancy as your baby goes further down into your pelvis.

Yeast Growth

If your vulva becomes itchy and your vagina is red, sore and burning you might have
thrush (commonly known as candida or monilia). This is fairly normal and very
annoying. Your doctor will probably prescribe a vaginal suppository.

A good way to prevent or reduce yeast growth is to cut out sugar and white flour. Eat
whole grains, fruit, veggies and a little more protein than you normally do.

I found that covering the area with gentian violet (from the drug store) works well, but
can be very messy. You’ll probably need to wear a sanitary pad to prevent staining, but
the best course is to see your doctor

Cystitis

This is pressure and engorgement of the blood vessels in the pelvic area and means
you may be more exposed to the risk of urinary infection. Should you notice a stinging
burning feeling when you urinate it might indicate that you have developed cystitis.
Untreated cystitis becomes very uncomfortable if left untreated.

If you think you have this go to your doctor right away. He may prescribe a course of
antibiotics.

As a general treatment drink lots of liquids. Cranberry, orange, lemon and grapefruit
juice can help. An alkaline base drink such as a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and
sodium citrate may help as well.

You should wear cotton undies and avoid clothing that is tight around your crotch.
Pantyhose should have a cotton panel or air holes between the legs.

Pyelitis

You might have pyelitis if you have a temperature, low back pain and it hurts when you
put pressure over your kidneys. This is a kidney infection and can sometimes cause
nausea and vomiting. You should go to your doctor immediately because not only is it
painful for you, it can affect the functioning of your placenta.

Antibiotics are effective but most women find it helpful to put a hot water bottle against
the painful area.

If you are diagnosed with pyelitis you may be admitted to the hospital for a proper
diagnosis and the right drugs usually clear it up within two weeks.

Inverted Nipples

If one or both your nipples are inverted or shaped like dimples

you have inverted nipples. Not to worry. If you have inverted
nipples and it can be pressed out, or if it projects when you are
sexually aroused your baby will be able to suckle from it and
draw it out even further. You may find it more difficult to fix your
baby on to the breast for a good mouthful, but rest assured, he
will be able to..

You do not have to have prominent nipples in order for your baby to nurse successfully.

Vaginal Bleeding In Early Pregnancy

This is disconcerting at any stage in early pregnancy. Normally in early pregnancy it

may be that the level of your hormones is not sufficiently high enough to avoid
breakthrough spotting. There is no way you can stop this without possibly affecting your
baby. It is sensible when this occurs to take it as a message that your body needs rest.
You should lie down and remain so until the bleeding stops.

Eliminate unnecessary exertion and if the bleeding started at a time when your period
would normally have been due, you should really take it easy and if you can spend a
few days in bed.

 BIG book of Pregnancy Safety Tips

Some women, during the first three months of pregnancy notice a heavy feeling around
the pelvis and in the pit of the stomach and have period like twinges and aches. The
bleeding could be a suppressed period. This happens when there is insufficient
pregnancy hormone to stop the period, even though it is sparse.

This kind of bleeding is not a miscarriage and the blood comes from the endometrium,
not from the placenta or the baby. Sometimes this occurs at the time when each period
would have been due, and right through the early months of pregnancy. Each would be
period is marked by slight bleeding. Your doctor might advise you to have injections of
progesterone to stop the bleeding.

When you have any bleeding or pinkish staining of mucus from your vagina the best
treatment is probably to rest in bed. The blood you see is not your baby’s blood but
yours and comes from the maternal side of the placenta where it is not adhering to the
uterus, or from around the cervix. Lying down increases the blood flow to your uterus
and, if the placenta is not firmly rooted, gives it a chance to attach itself more firmly to
the lining of the uterus.

Vaginal Bleeding In Late Pregnancy

Bleeding in late pregnancy may be a sign that labor is about to start. Normally this
usually blood from around your cervix and except in those cases where there is a polyp
in the cervix that has started to bleed, shows that thinning out and some dilatation is
taking place. If your baby is due within a month and the bleeding looks like the
beginning of your period, a blood stained mucous discharge (called a “show”), accept it
as a normal sign that your body is in working order for labor and that you may start
within a week or two. I called this my “early warning sign”.

Placenta Previa

Sometimes blood flows from the placental site when it is too

low-lying and partly in front of the baby’s head. Intermittent
APH from 27 weeks onward is a typical symptom of this
condition, known as placenta previa. This occurs in about one
in every 200 births and it almost certainly means the delivery
will be by cesarean section.

During a vaginal birth, as the lower segment of the uterus

thinned out, the placenta would be torn away from its roots,
depriving your baby of nourishment and oxygen.

 BIG book of Pregnancy Safety Tips

Should you start bleeding when you are around 37 weeks pregnant you will be admitted
to the hospital and if the bleeding continues, will be advised to remain until the baby is
mature enough to be born.

An ultrasound at 16 weeks often reveals that the placenta is lying in the lower part of the
uterus. Although this tends to be taken by some obstetricians as an indication of the
need for cesarean section, it is normal in early pregnancy and by the end of pregnancy
when the wall of the uterus has stretched and enlarged, the placenta is usually in the
right place in the upper part.

Abruptio Placenta

APH can also mean that a tiny part of your placenta that is situated in the upper part of
your uterus, as it should be, has peeled away.
This is called accidental hemorrhage, or
abruption placenta. The severity of accidental
hemorrhage depends entirely on how large a
portion of the placenta has separated from the
lining of the uterus. It is potentially a serious
problem and the doctor should be informed at
once. You may be advised to go to the
hospital for bed rest and if the bleeding stops
and all is well with your baby, would be
discharged after 4 or 5 days. This is one of those times it would be a good idea to avoid
intercourse and orgasm until after your baby is born.
