Abdominal Pain

Bleeding Gums

During pregnancy, hormonal changes can increase blood flow to the gums, making them more susceptible to bleeding and inflammation, a condition known as pregnancy gingivitis. To maintain oral health, brush and floss regularly, and schedule regular dental check-ups. If you experience persistent or excessive bleeding gums, consult your dentist or healthcare provider for evaluation and advice.

Braxton-Hicks Contractions

Braxton Hicks contractions are intermittent, painless contractions of the uterus that occur throughout pregnancy. They are often described as a tightening or hardening of the abdomen and are considered a normal part of preparing the uterus for childbirth. However, if contractions become frequent, intense, or are accompanied by other symptoms like vaginal bleeding or pelvic pressure, consult your healthcare provider.

Headaches

Headaches are common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, increased blood volume, and changes in blood circulation. Managing stress, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise can help prevent headaches. However, if headaches are severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like vision changes or swelling, consult your healthcare provider for evaluation and guidance.
