14 Complications During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time when the mother and unborn child need to pay close attention to their health. Most pregnancies are uncomplicated because of the food we eat and the lifestyle we normally tend to lead. Here we have enlisted a number of complications during pregnancy wherein which many women face today. If you are going through any of these complications during your pregnancy, make sure that your gynaecologist is aware of it and prescribes you the right advice.
Pregnant women who have these complications should be mentally prepared to face these problems with a brave attitude. Make sure that you have your family beside you to support you mentally and emotionally as well. Facing these complications during pregnancy can be a risk factor for you and the child so it is important to take proper care during the pregnancy term. Regular check ups and frequent appointments with your doctor is essential for you to keep track on your health as well as your unborn child.
Take a look at these complications during pregnancy. If you have faced complications during your pregnancy, share your experience with us.
Bleeding
When you bleed during pregnancy, it could mean different things. If you are bleeding heavily and have severe abdominal pain like menstrual cramps it could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. It is also know that heavy bleeding with cramping could also be a sign of miscarriage.
Nausea
This is one common symptom during pregnancy. But, if nausea and vomitting is severe it is a serious problem. If you cannot eat or drink anything, you run the risk of becoming dehydrated, so it is best to seek advice from a gynecologist.
Baby Movements
It is normal if at times you previously active baby seems to have less energy. But, if there is no movement at all then it is time to worry. It is believed that a pregnant woman should have 10 or more kicks in two hours. Anything less should prompt a phone call to your gynecologist.
Contractions
If you are having early contractions, it could be a sign of pre term labor. However, there are a lot of new mums who confuse true labor and false labour. If you are in your third trimester and having contractions it is best to call your doctor and seek advice.
Flu
One of the most common complications during pregnancy is catching the flu. It is important for pregnant women to get the flu vaccine, since pregnant women are more likely to get sick.
Blood Pressure
This is yet another frequent complication during pregnancy. A pregnant woman having high blood pressure puts her baby at risk. Pregnant women with high bp have a higher risk of placental abruption (when the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus).
Migraine
Pregnant or not, migraine can be a painful moment for anyone. But this complication during pregnancy is not good for the baby and the mother. A woman who has severe headaches should speak to her gynecologist about ways to relieve symptoms safely
Fibroids
During pregnancy uterine fibroids is a common complication. However, uterine fibroids rarely cause miscarriage. But, in rare cases fibroids can cause breech birth or pre term.
Epilepsy
If a pregnant woman has seizures during pregnancy it can harm the fetus, and also increase the risk of stillbirth. On one hand, consuming medicines to control seizures might even cause birth defects.
Depression
Depression that persists during pregnancy can make it hard for a woman to care for herself and her unborn baby. Having depression during pregnancy is also a risk factor for postpartum depression.
Diabetes
One of the main complications during pregnancy is suffering with diabetes. It is advisable for pregnant women to bring their diabetes under control at least three to six months before trying to conceive.
Asthma
Another complication during pregnancy is asthma. Poorly controlled asthma increases the risk of pre eclampsia, pre term birth and poor weight gain in foetus.
Eating Disorders
Body image changes when you are pregnant and this can cause eating disorders to worsen. Eating disorders are linked to many pregnancy complications, including birth defects and premature birth.
Overweight
Experts suggest that the heavier a woman is before she becomes pregnant, the greater the risk of pregnancy complications. Women who are obese during pregnancy will have complications like pre term delivery and pre eclampsia.
