First trimester common symptoms
First trimester common symptoms
Here are some common symptoms you may experience during this early stage of pregnancy:
Fatigue
Feeling tired and needing more rest is a typical symptom in the first trimester.
Your body is undergoing significant changes, including increased hormone production and the development of the placenta.
What to do: Take naps when possible and listen to your body's need for rest.
Morning Sickness
Nausea and vomiting, commonly known as morning sickness, can occur at any time of the day.
While it can be challenging, remember that it usually subsides by the end of the first trimester.
What to do: Eating small, frequent meals and avoiding triggers like strong odors can help manage this symptom.
Breast Tenderness
Hormonal fluctuations can lead to breast tenderness and sensitivity.
Remember that these changes are preparing your body for breastfeeding and are signs of a healthy pregnancy.
What to do: Wearing a supportive bra and using warm or cold compresses can provide relief.
Increased Urination
As your body adjusts to the pregnancy, you may find yourself making more trips to the restroom.
This is due to hormonal changes and increased blood flow to the kidneys.
What to do: Stay hydrated and consider using panty liners for comfort.
Food Cravings and Aversions
You may develop cravings for certain foods or find that previously loved foods now seem unappetizing.
What to do: Follow your cravings within the boundaries of a healthy diet and try to accommodate your aversions with alternative options.
Mood Swings
Hormonal fluctuations can affect your emotional well-being, leading to mood swings.
It's important to communicate with your partner, friends, or a healthcare provider about your feelings.
What to do: Engaging in relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or prenatal yoga, can also help manage stress.
Constipation
Hormonal changes can slow down digestion, leading to constipation.
What to do: Increasing your fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, and staying physically active can help alleviate this discomfort. If needed, your healthcare provider may suggest a suitable fiber supplement.
Heightened Sense of Smell
During pregnancy, your sense of smell may become more sensitive. Certain odors that were once tolerable may now trigger nausea.
What to do: Keep the areas well-ventilated and try to avoid known triggers
Spotting
Light spotting or mild cramping may occur during the first trimester, which can be worrisome. However, it's often a normal part of implantation or changes in the cervix.
What to do: If you experience heavy bleeding or severe pain, consult your healthcare provider to rule out any complications.
Increased Vaginal Discharge
Hormonal changes can lead to an increase in vaginal discharge, which is usually harmless.
However, if the discharge becomes unusually strong-smelling, itchy, or accompanied by pain, inform your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I feel like I post alot which I usually don't. Is it common to lose weight in your first trimester? I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow and ive lost 3 or 4 pounds. Have only ever thrown up once and can be nauseous here and there.
Nett🌼✨🌸
I was 212 now I weighed 205 I’m also 10 weeks if you’re vomiting a lot you are definitely going to lose weight but it’s nothing to be alarmed about. And also ask your Dr. What could help you hold your weight down.
