Common Concerns of Pregnancy

My friend is 6 months pregnant and she has common concerns. I would like you to know that we have different biochemistry. It could be the concern of my friend but it’s not your concern at all. She is complaining about her backache, bleeding, and stretch mark. Let’s deal with it one by one.


Backache

This has a lot of variety of causes: a fall, poor posture at work, or study, sleeping on the bad mattress, overweight, etc. If pregnancy is below 2 or 3 months and experiencing vaginal bleeding or pain in the lower part of the back or abdomen it is urgent that you seek your physician. It could be an extra uterine or tubular pregnancy.

If your pregnancy is about to come to term, excessive weight can tear your ligaments in the column causing some pain. Try to use a girdle for support.

Uterus size can press a nerve such as the sciatic nerve and cause pain in the lower part of the back. If I were you consult a Chiropractor.

The following is also recommended:

• Eliminate high heeled shoes

• Don’t remain standing in the same position for a long time

• Don’t carry heavy objects.

• Sleep on the good mattress.

• Rub “heat lotion” where pain is located and practice deep relaxation.

Bleeding During Pregnancy

When bleeding occurs after the 7^th month of pregnancy it could be caused by the separation of the placenta and uterus. Try to lie down and rest. Consult your physician.

If your pregnancy is less than 3 months and feel cramps or pains in the abdomen and there is bleeding this could be a pregnancy outside the uterus. It could be a hormonal imbalance of the mother. Try to consult your physician immediately. Most probably you need complete bed rest. Sometimes this concerns arises its all because of lack of support for the fetus. The main reason is by the relaxation of the cervix due to irritation, infection, etc. Cervix is the lower part of the uterus and it is also the muscle which prevents the fetus from being born until it is ready. If the cervix is not relaxed it may result vaginal discharge or excessive bleeding. If that happens try to take Vitamin K. If you read about my post of Vitamin E this is also helps o stop bleeding.Try to be cautious because if bleeding doesn’t stop it could lead to miscarriage. That is why complete bed rest is highly recommended. If your physician prescribes you the intake of royal jelly and certain hormones that is the best prescription for you.


Stretch Mark

This is the height of our topic, a lot of women encountered this one. My friend is worried about this. She even sent me a message if she can’t do anything that stretch mark. It was one of our topics last weekend, which is why she’s somehow scared. I told her, if you have it is already permanent. Your skin is like tearing a paper you can’t get it back to its original look. But you can still do something about this. You must start as early as possible because your tummy grows so fast that is why it’s tearing apart. Remember “prevention is better than cure”.

I hope this could help... I found a mixture that may prevent your concerns:

1/4 cup of pure aloe vera gelatin
1/2 cup of olive oil
then mix in 10 capsules of Vitamin E and A (break capsules and empty contents in mixture)

Mix all this in a small container and apply it every day after bathing during the preganacy. Keep this in a cool place.
