Pregnancy Symptoms Not To Ignore

It becomes even more difficult for first-time moms to know whether a symptom is normal. So, if you're a first-time mom-to-be, here's a list of symptoms to keep your eyes on and consult your doctor even if one is detected. 

Vaginal spotting:

Implantation bleeding is a normal symptom in the early pregnancy days. In this condition, you might experience vaginal spotting. But in some cases, this spotting can turn into bleeding and can be more severe. It happens in the condition called ectopic pregnancy. It is a kind of cervical infection that requires treatment. So, if you see unusual bleeding or spotting from the vagina, rush to your doctor and make them aware of the situation so they can handle it on time. 

Dizziness or faintness:

Feeling dizzy and lightheaded is a very common pregnancy symptom in the early days of the second trimester. But this dizziness becomes a matter of concern when you start feeling faint. Know that dizziness occurs due to low blood sugar levels or circulation problems. If there is no such condition in your case, you will feel dizzy and faint. In the worst case, this dizziness can be fatal when combined with blurred vision, vaginal bleeding, headaches, or pain in your abdomen; it is when you must consult with your doctor.

Severe pain under rib cage:

Stomach pain can be caused by high blood pressure or preeclampsia, a condition associated with high blood pressure. Preeclampsia can be a matter of concern, so you must look for its signs. Swelling in the hands, feet, or face, severe headaches, Vision changes (blurriness or seeing spots), Nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, and reduced need for urination are the signs of warning that you must keep your eye on. Rush to your doctor when you see this sign because even a minor delay can cause trouble. 

Lower back pain:

It is one of the most common pregnancy symptoms, but when paired with numb feet or weakness in your leg or if you feel pain in your calf, know that it's time to call your doctor for help. 

These are some of the most common pregnancy symptoms not to ignore because they can be a warning sign that something is not right. Calling a healthcare provider on time can save you from anything serious. 

If you're going to be a mom for the first time, you may want to learn about pregnancy symptoms and when they appear because you must prepare for them.

Hope this helps!
