Morning sickness? No morning sickness? It’s all normal
While some mothers may experience typical signs of pregnancy such as nausea, fatigue, and an aversion to certain foods, others may not. Not to worry — it is perfectly normal to experience nothing out of the ordinary.
At the same time, if you are feeling weakness, dizziness, and nausea, there is no need to worry either. What really should be carefully considered is the risk of taking SARS. In the early stages of pregnancy, immunity decreases because of an increase in progesterone. Therefore, take care and don’t put yourself in risky situations.
At this early stage in pregnancy, you won’t be gaining any weight, because the baby — though growing rapidly — is still tiny. With a loss of appetite and nausea, some mamas may even lose a little weight [1].
Frequent urination, while annoying, is the norm for expectant mothers. In early pregnancy, it’s mostly caused by an increase in blood flow to the kidneys.
During your medical visit, your doctor may determine that your uterus has grown to 7-8 cm. The uterus is soft and will remain that way. This week you may notice a lot of vaginal discharge, it’s considered completely normal.
Note
If you are vomiting more than twice a day and experience dizziness, cramping in the lower abdomen and/or spotting, or increased blood pressure, contact your doctor and let them know about your symptoms.
