Pregnancy – The Biggest Reason to Celebrate

The biggest reason to be happy for a woman is when she gets pregnant. It becomes difficult for some couples at this point of time in taking the decision whether to disclose the pregnancy news in the beginning only or let the others notice the physical changes happening and then let them know.

It is mostly the 5th week when a lady gets to know about her pregnancy. Following are some of the physiological changes that take place in the mother’s body:-

·         Urination

In a 5 weekpregnant women the frequency of urination increases because the hormone levels of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone increases in the blood, especially in the pelvic region near the uterus. The biggest mistake woman do to avoid frequent urination is to cut down the intake of fluids. By doing so, the woman is actually harming their body as shortage of water in body can trouble the growing foetus.

·         Lethargy

Since your body starts carrying an extra weight therefore your body gets tired early. This is one of the reasons why a woman during pregnancy is advised to take maximum rest. The food which the mother eats is shared by the foetus so if the food is not taken in the right quantity, mother can suffer from serious nutritional disorders which at the end of the day will affect the foetus.

·         Changes in Breast

The breast becomes tender in nature because of the increase in the hormone levels of estrogens and progesterone.
