Nausea, tiredness and the absence of menstruation are only the most popular symptoms of the early stage of the gestation process.
SYMPTOMS OF PREGNANCY THAT SHOULD NOT GO UNNOTICED
There are actually other important signs you should be aware of if you suspect you might be pregnant. These are signs that are not usually taken into account, but women’s health professionals explain them all the time.
In the publication Managing Complications in Pregnancy and Childbirth: A guide for midwives and doctors by the WHO, they are briefly discussed, since they are usually signs that should not alarm the patient.
METAL FLAVORED FOOD
If you started to perceive some metal-flavored foods or continuously have that sensation in your mouth, you have acquired the alteration known as dysgeusia. In general, it is not something to be alarmed about, it is a common symptom in the first trimester of pregnancy and it has its origin in the increase in estrogen levels, which occurs naturally to level your taste and smell in this new stage.
BREAST PAIN
A very common symptom between the 10th and 14th week is a pain in the breasts, they can secrete a semi-transparent liquid through the nipple. It is an early stage of breast milk and is known as colostrum.
AMAZING HAIR
Again, the increase in estrogen levels does its job, although this time with a symptom that is not bothersome. Between the first and second trimester, estrogen prolongs the hair growth phase, preventing hair loss and strengthening the root. Unfortunately, it is not a permanent effect, enjoy stronger hair than ever just during this stage, it will return to normal after having your baby.
REDDER GUMS
The gums should naturally have a pale pink color. Despite the changes of levels in the progesterone and the estrogens when it enters the gestation state, they produce an increase in the blood flow that can lead to redness and inflammation in this part of the body. Remember to maintain proper oral hygiene at all times.
It is important that you communicate all these symptoms to your doctor so that he can check you and your pregnancy is not at risk.
