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.
Dizziness
Dizziness or lightheadedness can occur during pregnancy due to changes in blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and circulation. To help prevent dizziness, avoid standing up too quickly, stay hydrated, and eat regular, balanced meals. If you experience frequent or severe dizziness, lie down on your side and consult your healthcare provider for evaluation and guidance.
