The first sensation, whether the pregnancy has been sought or not, is uncertainty, followed by happiness and some fear of what lies ahead. The main doubts or fears that assail the woman are, the fear that the child does not come healthy or that there is any complication during childbirth. It is also usual to worry about what will come, about the changes in life and the relationship with the new family member.

All these fears and doubts during pregnancy can be magnified or minimized in a short time, and this is because the body undergoes a lot of hormonal changes. It is normal to be very sensitive, cry and be afraid of simple and everyday things that we were not scared of before.

I have insomnia

Waiting for a baby causes some stress and anxiety and can cause the mother to alter the rest. It is convenient to discuss fears with the couple, family members, friends and of course, with medical professionals.

Have sex

There is no scientific basis to affirm that sex can cause pregnancy loss. Normal sexual activity can be maintained from the beginning of pregnancy until the woman goes into labor.Only in certain cases, when the pregnancy does not evolve normally, the gynecologist will recommend sexual abstinence in pregnancy. As in the case of threat of abortion, the threat of premature delivery or incompetent cervix.

Caffeine consumption

There is no evidence that moderate caffeine consumption (2 or 3 cups a day) is related to the possibility of having abortions or malformations in the baby. However, during pregnancy, digestive discomfort (heartburn, heaviness, nausea) are common, especially during the first three months, due to hormonal changes, and also during the last two or three months, such as a consequence of the pressure exerted by the baby on the stomach. Caffeine increases the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsin in the stomach, and that is why coffee and other drinks that contain caffeine are not recommended during pregnancy, given the case of digestive discomfort.

Stress

The moment of pregnancy itself is very stressful for some women. For what it means in your personal, family and work life. You can experience feelings of happiness and sadness, all at the same time. But if the stress level is very high, uterine contractions may appear earlier than expected, have a threat of premature delivery and even a low weight baby, so it is advisable to learn to detect it and change certain behaviors.

Will I recover my figure again?
