DESTROY HEMORRHOIDS FOR GOOD!
– 3 SIMPLE STEPS –
You are in your fifth month, into your second trimester, and 18
weeks pregnant. You still may be feeling the symptoms of an early
pregnancy as well as some new ones as you get farther along in your
pregnancy. Some of those new symptoms you may experience being 18 weeks
pregnant include aches in your lower abdomen and along the sides due to
stretching of your ligaments to support the uterus, backaches, nasal
congestion, nosebleeds, ear stuffiness, and bleeding due to sensitive
gums. Though you may not experience all of these symptoms you can ease
some of the symptoms such as backaches by seeing either a massage
therapist or chiropractor specializing in pregnancy.
END MORNING SICKNESS!!
For a Happy Pregnancy
Being 18 weeks pregnant you may notice your
abdomen is rounding, you may also notice having to adjust to a new
sleeping position due to this. Most women prior to pregnancy would
either sleep on their stomach or on their back. Now that you are 18
weeks pregnant those are not the best choices for different reasons.
Sleeping on your stomach during pregnancy as your stomach grows has
been compared to sleeping on a watermelon. Sleeping on your back though
may be the most comfortable puts the entire weight of your pregnant
uterus on your intestines and your back. This can in exchange for
comfort aggravate back aches, digestion, breathing, and circulation.
Sleeping on your side is recommended preferably your left side with a
pillow between your legs is the best overall for you and your growing
baby. This allows maximum blood flow and nutrients to the placenta with
enhancing the function of your kidneys by better eliminating waste and
fluids which provides less swelling of hands, ankles, and feet. By
sleeping on your side, good posture, keeping your weight within the
recommended amount, wearing supportive shoes, or sitting or standing
for long periods of time will also help with backaches you may
experience during pregnancy.
