Morning sickness, sure. But the bleeding gums, leg cramps, carpal tunnel -- you certainly weren't, uh, expecting those. Your growing bump may bring on a whole slew of lesser-known (and downright strange) pregnancy symptoms. But don't worry too much. "As uncomfortable as these conditions may be, many actually indicate a normal, healthy pregnancy because theyre simply triggered by your expanding uterus or changing hormones," says Russell Fothergill, MD, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. But these days you don't have to sit back and suffer: "Luckily, we've found that small lifestyle changes can go a long way in relieving the most common complaints," he says. Ease those preggo pains by tonight with this expert advice.
WOW this has been very helpful to me reading yalls concerns, which have been some of my own. I am about 4 weeks on my 2nd child, It seems so different this time for me bc I didn't know that I was pregnant with my son until I was 3 months. I have been having a little mild cramps but ive read alot about it and Im convinced that its just the ligamnets :) Im a worrier so.. Well I am very excited about this site I can't wait to hear from yall some more :)
