How great to be pregnant! It’s a time of joys and challenges. There are so many aches and pains, such discomfort. Though we are gaining weight, have muscle and joint pain, we are elated. What can we possibly do to alleviate this? I recently heard about pregnancy massage. What a luxury! During my pregnancies, I wish I had heard of this. In most circumstances, pregnancy massages can be a great relief and comfort.

When pregnant, we all know that we must, not only take care of ourselves, but also of the new baby growing within us. We have many feelings, some of them stress, anxiety, depression, as well as joy of the wonders and challenges ahead. All these feelings are normal, and can be alleviated a bit, unbeknownst to us through a pregnancy massage.

First things first, this is completely natural. Many midwives report tales of mothers being overwhelmed with fear for their baby. So much about ante-natal care nowadays is focused on preparing the mother for the worst, and giving signs to look out for that may indicate that something is wrong with your unborn child. While it’s good to be ready, and to know how to recognise these signs, this can create a horrible feeling akin to sitting around waiting for a plane to hit your house. You feel helpless, unable to protect the life that is growing inside of you, and like disaster could be just around the corner.

There is no doubt that exercising during pregnancy helps prepare your body for the stressful time that it is about to go through. Strengthening your muscles and increased endurance and stamina can definitely help with a lengthy labour. Exercise also releases endorphins to the brain, which can help relieve any stress and tension that you might be feeling. If you feel good, it can only be a good thing for your baby. Although, exercise might not be what your body craves, once you start working on a light routine, those aches and pains and embarrassing issues like constipation tend to work their way out of your system fairly quickly.

The development of your baby –
The amniotic fluid which surrounds your growing baby in the uterus to help cushion it and keep it protected from external damage now grows another purpose. The intestines are well developed, developed enough to absorb little amounts of sugar from this amniotic fluid that will be swallowed and passed through the digestive system to the bowel eventually. However most of the baby’s nourishment is still provided by the placenta. Till about his time, your baby’s spleen and liver were producing the blood cells needed by its body but now the spaces in the bone marrow are enough to function likely. Soon, the bone marrow will be largely responsible for producing blood cells in the baby’s body. During the third trimester and post birth, the bone marrow becomes the chief center of blood production. The spleen won’t perform this function by the thirtieth week while the liver will stop producing blood till a few weeks before the child is born.

The development of your body –

Symptoms like excessive weight gain, varicose veins and aches in your body can be avoided with only the help of exercise.

While you are pregnant it is best to discuss with your medical expert what stage of pregnancy you are in and what kind of exercise to indulge in to help smoothen things out for the best.

I’m having really bad anxiety. Like, really bad; I can’t sleep, I feel fear all over me, I’m tired, and I’ve been having hot flashes. I kept feeling a light feeling in my stomach, kind of like a weird butterfly feeling but I don’t know if it’s anxiety. I was having cramps earlier, too. I lost my virginity 9 days ago. He didn’t use a condom, but he said he was sterile. He also said he didn’t ejaculate in me, but I thought I might have felt him doing that (I was drunk). Anyway, would I be having symptoms this many days after sex? I usually get my period around the 11th. I got really drunk Friday night and had my first hangover on Saturday, so am I dehydrated? Why do I feel so bad? I had been having hot flashes before I got drunk, I think. I have an anxiety disorder already.
We had sex again 4 days ago. Each time we had sex, we did it a couple of times or more.
