How to deal with heartburn during pregnancy ? This is a problem that becomes more common in the second half of pregnancy. It is usually associated with an increased amount of progesterone, which has a protective role, reduces the excitability of the uterine muscles, but at the same time, unfortunately, suppresses the normal peristalsis of the stomach. And given the pressure of the fetus on the stomach - no wonder that in the last few months of pregnancy from heartburn complain of many, many pregnant women. What could be done with homeopathy? However, before I say some basic measures that are important to follow: to avoid the consumption of fried, smoked, spicy foods, which generally increase the risk of heartburn, to avoid the consumption of cellulose-rich, difficult to digest foods, to feed the pregnant woman more particle, but in smaller portions, to take fluids at least one hour away from the meal, and not together with the food. The last meal is good to be at least three hours before going to bed for a night's sleep and if there is a lot of heartburn at night, it is good to sleep on a higher pillow. Otherwise, what can we recommend homeopaths regarding acids? Perhaps the main homeopathic medicine we use is Nux Vomica diluted 9 CH or 15 CH. This is a drug that we use for so-called anti-peristaltic waves. In this way, we prevent the return of acidic stomach contents from the stomach to the esophagus, which is the main cause of these acids, the burning sensation behind the sternum, and sometimes a bitter or sour taste in the mouth. We often combine Nux Vomica with Rubinia pseudo acacia, also a wonderful medicine for heartburn, and recommend five granules of Nux Vomica and Robinia pseudo acacia twenty to thirty minutes before meals and at bedtime. Sometimes another homeopathic medicine - Sulfuricum acidum - has a better effect than Robinia pseudo acacia and then we combine it with Nux Vomica. Of course, there are other medications that we could use, such as Iris Versicolor, as well as medications for the so-called sensitive type of woman, because there are women who are more prone to acid complaints than others - and then the appointment of a drug for a particular sensitive type very significantly improves the effect of the drugs I just mentioned. It is also important to note that in the case of acids, homeopathic medicines are very well combined with the internal intake of lemon essential oil of high therapeutic class, so that it can be taken internally one drop once or twice a day. A wonderful essential oil not only for nausea and vomiting, but also for heartburn. Lemon is also one of the most commonly recommended essential oils by aromatherapists for other reasons. Improves bile-liver and kidney function, improves digestion, improves blood circulation, helps increase the body's overall immunity and destroys many pathogens. When heartburn is associated with increased psycho-emotional irritability, it is beneficial to take Ignatia Argentum nitricum, other homeopathic medicines with which to balance the psycho-emotional state of the pregnant woman and in these cases it is recommended to take magnesium, vitamins from group B, certain herbal medicines and food supplements, teas - mainly based on chamomile, St. John's wort, thyme, oregano, basil. There are many other herbs that could also help the condition here. Last but not least - for the balance of the nervous system and the psyche, to improve digestion, I highly recommend the practice of yoga - of course, under the supervision of a good instructor who is licensed for yoga classes for pregnant women. https://symptomspregnancy.bigcartel.com/product/the-first-signs-and-symptoms-of-pregnancy https://issues.joomla.org/uploads/1/c76d309a0298efd802da762c0657acae.pdf http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/index.php?action=profile;u=40065 https://pregnancysymptomsin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-1.html https://pregnancysymptomsin.blog.fc2.com https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/PR-920 https://mark-s-school-8b95.thinkific.com/pages/bleeding-in-the-first-half-of-pregnancy https://blog.with2.net/blog/2067633 https://blog.with2.net/form/report?id=2067633 https://www.obesityhelp.com/members/pregnancypreclam/about_me/ https://www.shopolog.ru/users/pregnancyconditios/ https://www.zenysro.cz/blogy/zdravi-a-zivotni-styl/ectopic-pregnancy-causes-and-consequences http://www.conejousd.org/sequoia/User-Profile/UserId/104404 http://network-marketing.ning.com/group/pregnancysymptoms/page/10-signs-of-pregnancy-you-must-know https://pregnancyups.substack.com/p/-dermatitis-during-pregnancy https://pregnancy.splashthat.com/ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pregnancysigns http://blog.udn.com/pregnancyweeks/163351572 https://www.transifex.com/user/profile/pregnancysymptoms/ https://www.credly.com/users/pregnancy-symptoms/badges https://pregnancysymptomfar.de.tl/ https://60b3f4d317e79.site123.me/blog/common-symptoms-during-pregnancy https://pbase.com/pregnancysymptoms https://bitly.com/3wFZ3kf+ https://telegra.ph/THE-FIRST-SIGNS-OF-EARLY-PREGNANCY-05-31 https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php?action=profile;u=44827 https://forum.abantecart.com/index.php?action=profile;area=summary;u=44827 https://canvas.mooc.upc.edu/eportfolios/3482/Home/What_are_the_early_symptoms_of_pregnancy https://slides.com/pregnancysigns/17-early-signs-of-pregnancy https://devnet.kentico.com/users/491472/pregnancy-symptoms Symptoms of pregnancy are all those changes in your body and self-esteem that tell you that you are expecting a baby before the pregnancy test indicates it. And although the symptoms of pregnancy are individual to each woman, there are a few more common early signs that are often conclusive evidence that you will become a mother.From conception, your body begins to release hormones that affect the normal functioning of your organs and cause unusual complaints. But this is where the confusion can occur. Many of the early symptoms of pregnancy resemble those of PMS ( premenstrual symptom ). And if you are not trying to conceive at this time, you may think that it is all because of your upcoming menstrual cycle. In fact, you are already pregnant.
Here is a list of the most common symptoms of pregnancy that will help you understand whether your feelings are the result of an innocent illness or something bigger. But remember - some of these symptoms can be very mild. So in case of any hesitations and grounds for a possible pregnancy, take a test or visit a gynecologist.
- Delayed menstruation - very often this is the most accurate sign that you are pregnant. Especially if you're as accurate as a watch. But still, to be sure, wait 2 weeks from the date it was supposed to occur and take a test.
- You just "feel" pregnant - many women believe they have a sixth sense about pregnancy. And they often turn out to be right. Maybe you feel differently - tired, in a changeable mood, nauseous, dizzy. In addition, you have heartburn, constipation or go to the toilet more often. You feel your breasts somehow more sensitive, and this pain low in your back just doesn't give you peace. You just don't feel at ease!
- Dizziness and exhaustion - when climbing stairs, when getting up abruptly after a short sitting in one place or just while waiting in line at the store. Sometimes you may even faint. The reason? As the uterus grows, it compresses the arteries in your legs. Thus, your blood circulation is impeded and you become dizzy. Very often this symptom occurs when you have not eaten, because your blood sugar level has dropped, and this is the baby's main food source.
- Swelling of the breasts - a very common complaint, which is also characteristic of PMS. The truth is that breast tissue is very sensitive to hormones. After fertilization of the egg, progesterone and the pregnancy hormone (human chorionic gonadotropin) begin to circulate in the body and increase blood volume. This causes swelling and heaviness in the chest.
- Nipple darkening - Pregnancy hormones also affect the activity of melanocytes, or in other words - the cells in the nipples that are responsible for their color. Women with darker skin color may not notice the changes until later in pregnancy - around the 10th week of gestation.
- Spasms - You may feel cramps as if your menstrual cycle is occurring, but the reason in this case is the attachment of the fertilized egg to the uterine wall. The uterus begins to stretch, preparing for the big growth over the next 9 months.
- Spotting - Many women confuse the slight color flow with the menstrual cycle. It occurs in about 25% of pregnant women when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus. If you notice that your cycle is shorter than usual or differs in something, take a pregnancy test.
- Fatigue - if you feel that all the time you are at work or doing your duties, you only think about how to take a nap, or you do not do any of your usual activities such as walking, training, meeting friends, because you feel exhausted, maybe your body is no longer just yours. Even in the early stages of pregnancy (about 2 weeks after conception), the baby begins to consume your calories, and this depletes your energy resources quite quickly.
- Nausea - Although severe nausea (which occurs in about 85% of pregnant women) is unlikely to occur in the first few weeks, some women experience mild nausea in early pregnancy. And at the most unexpected moment, such as driving a car or public transport.
- Swelling - the clothes suddenly start to tighten and your body is somehow swollen. The reason is that elevated progesterone levels slow down the digestive tract and your stomach is more bloated than usual. This often happens with PMS, but the swelling disappears with the onset of the menstrual cycle as progesterone levels fall. However, if the swelling does not stop and your period is delayed, buy a test.
- You urinate more often - during pregnancy, the kidneys need to excrete fluids more efficiently. In recent months, however, the cause will be in the enlarged uterus, which presses on your bladder.
- Sudden appetites - at 03:00 in the morning you feel like eating chocolate ice cream and nothing else can satisfy your taste buds. Or you don't stop breaking bread and your dinner stays intact. The reason is that your overly exhausted body needs an extra dose of carbohydrates, as they are easily processed and so you maintain your energy level high.
- Headache - An increase in blood volume can cause frequent but mild headaches in the first few weeks of pregnancy. They should stop when your body gets used to the increased amount of hormones.
- Constipation - the same hormones responsible for swelling also cause constipation. Because the digestive tract works at a slower rate during pregnancy, food may not be processed as quickly. However, as the gestational weeks progress, this problem will become more serious.
- Mood swings - The more tired you feel, the more susceptible you will be to mood swings. Add the headaches, swelling, constipation and chest pain. But you should know that it is absolutely normal to experience mixed emotions during pregnancy - from excitement to depression, from joy to sadness, from laughter to tears.
- Measuring your internal temperature - a rise in your internal temperature of half or more degrees is usually characteristic of the ovulation period and ends with the onset of the menstrual cycle. But if you notice that it doesn't decrease after more than two weeks, you may need to buy a test.
