Morning sickness, breast tenderness and lack of periods are the early signs of pregnancy. Other changes during pregnancy are: weight gain of 25-35 lbs, increase in blood volume and fluctuations of blood pressure, back pain, constipation, contractions, edema, heart burn, hemorrhoids and varicose veins, pelvic pain, urinary frequency. During childbirth pelvic muscles and bones relax and milk let down starts through the release of hormones with baby's suckling the nipples. Breast milk is preferred because it decreases the babies' chances of: allergies, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, ear infections, respiratory infections: and increases babies' immune response, intelligence, and bonding, |
Postpartum depression (postpartum blues) experienced after delivery is related to the decrease of the high hormone levels during the pregnancy. |
