Pregnancy - Good to knows

A new era in our life.

Pregnancy is more often then not, a stage or rude awakening.
Of course, that's amidst the happiness and anticipation.

I've seen my sisters all get pregnant and have babies, had seen friends done it and i thought i have heard enough to sail through without much hiccups.

But i was Wrong, WROng, WRONG!

I decided to pen down some great stuffs to know to whoever chance upon this blog.

1) Morning sickness -
It does not have to happen in the morning, it can happen at night, in the afternoon, basically, anytime.
Symptoms: Vomitting

2) Rashes -
It's normal. It's not a sign of some abnormal body behaviour. Basically, the skin stretches, so it's becoming very tender. Usually happen in thigh areas and can get very itchy.
Solution: Buy a organic creme and apply as required.

3) Feeling breathless -
No, you are not about to faint. Due to the baby's movement and the fact that more oxygen is needed, be it to be transported in blood or whatever, you will feel breathless from time to time.
Solution: Squat down, you will feel better almost immediately.

4) Puke with Blood -
Makes u stop puking almost immediately, as it probably had given you a shock.
But, if this happen during excesssive violent vomitting, it's normal. Because during excessive violent vomitting, the little veins in the throat may tear and this will result in blood in vomit.
However, that said, never take for granted and if needed, seek professional help.

5) Always go to the gynae -
No. If it's normal conditions like a flu or slight fever, a GP will do. Do not have to go back to your gynae for every other thing. They are usually more expensive.

Some simple yet important notes to keep in mind.

Pregnancy - A incredible, life long journey.
