Video Transcript:
Pregnancy is the most fascinating thing in a woman’s life.It carries a lot of memorable moments.The menstrual cycle varies for each woman,And it can vary each month also,So, there should be a menstrual calendar maintained And if you feel you’ve crossed your period,
Some people have very short cycles like 25 – 28 days,So, depending on that, at least three days later than the expected period, it should be checked.The testing of pregnancy differs for each person according to their previous menstrual cycles.
If somebody has missed a period because of some medication they had consumed in their last cycle Or because of stress, Or because of some illness, that is very difficult to differentiate,If there is a missed or a delayed period, It has to be tested. If it is negative the next thing, we have to think about other medical problems which can cause a delayed period like. Thyroid issue, or a previous illness or medications, Or recent travel and stress.Some experience low abdomen cramping or leg cramping. Some only experience extreme tiredness and weakness, lethargy.

There are three different stages of pregnancy
First 12 weeks is the 1st Trimester
And then up to 28 weeks is the 2nd Trimester
After completion of 28 weeks, up to the date of delivery, that is 40 weeks,
It is the 3rd trimester
Back pain can happen in the 1st trimester and even in the 2nd trimester. By the time the woman goes into the 2nd trimester, the abdomen size starts increasing
By the 5th month they experience the movements of the baby
It is like some butterflies in the tummy, that is how they feel around the 5th month.
3rd Trimester, around the 7th to the 8th month after 28 weeks the movement of the baby is very
distinct, you can easily observe the movements of the baby.
I would advise to avoid spicy food,I advise you to have more homemade food because we like to avoid preservatives and food,additives in the 1st trimester
Radiation is to be avoided, in the form of X-rays and CT scans, Only if there is an absolute need, it should be undertaken, Women should avoid strenuous activities,Normal activities and whatever activities which you are used to can be continued. But anything strenuous or which will make you exhausted should be avoided.There are a lot of changes that a woman undergoes during pregnancy
Not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally
Because of the hormone variations there are a lot of anxiety issues in the woman and mood swings
It takes a lot of understanding, for the husband to understand that a woman is behaving in such a
manner because of her pregnancy condition and not because she is doing it purpose fully.
Women also can under a phase of depression during the 3 rd trimester when they are anxious about
what would be the outcome of the pregnancy, how will I deliver, would it be a normal or a
caesarean?
After pregnancy also, post-delivery, many women go through the postpartum blues, a depression
phase because the Estradiol and the Progesterone hormones suddenly dips after delivery
Many women are worried, how my pregnancy is going to go, will there be a problem?
Many women are anxious regarding that and they repeatedly question the doctor,
What to do, what not to do?
So there is no need of being anxious, be normal as you can
Follow the precautions given by the doctor
Eat small frequent meals, have a bland diet.
