In the first week of pregnancy, noticeable changes in your body cannot be understood, and your pregnancy becomes apparent from the third and fourth week of pregnancy when the period falls behind.

Bladder capacity is reduced so you cannot control your urine. If the baby's head is down, the frequency of your urination will increase. Exercise strengthens the pelvic muscles and helps control urination. But do not reduce fluids. You should drink a lot of water daily to prevent constipation and swelling. Water helps the fetus absorb nutrients from the blood cells. Unfortunately, heartburn continues until the fetus is transferred to the cervix. The uterus not only puts pressure on the bladder but also puts pressure on the stomach and causes heartburn. The muscles that were preventing food from entering the esophagus are now resting, which is why heartburn occurs. But this problem disappears after childbirth. There are ways to control and treat this problem. Avoid eating foods that cause stomach irritation such as spicy and fatty foods. Caffeine causes acid secretion. Drink water before and after meals, but do not drink water during meals. Wear comfortable clothes and allow your body to breathe. Eat two hours before bedtime to allow the stomach to digest the food. Do not forget the meal because it causes acid secretion and heartburn. The growth of the uterus puts pressure on the intestine and makes it unable to function properly.

Kiwi juice also helps the proper functioning of the digestive system. Warm liquids increase bowel movements.

The growth of the uterus increases the pressure on the vessels of the pelvic area, so the blood flow from the legs to the heart decreases. Veins send fluid to the knees and feet. This causes swelling. Edema is common in the third trimester of pregnancy, especially when the fetus is close to the cervix. The swelling gets worse as the time of delivery approaches. Swelling in pregnancy is not a concern unless the swelling is observed on the face and around the eyes or hands. Contact your doctor immediately to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. Elevate your feet to prevent swelling. Extend the legs and rotate the knees. Wear comfortably. Drink plenty of water. Your legs will return to their normal size after giving birth.
