Braxton-Hicks Contractions

Abdominal Pain

Mild abdominal discomfort is common during pregnancy due to stretching ligaments, growing uterus, and digestive changes. However, if abdominal pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like bleeding or fever, consult your healthcare provider for evaluation and guidance.

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.

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.
