Toxicosis
There is a huge rebuilding in the organism of a woman, expecting a baby. This rebuilding is caused by a new working regime of her organism. This is the reason of the complication, called toxicosis.
During first trimester or pregnancy the hormonal system changes a lot, the metabolic processes become different and your tastes are not as they used to be. These changes lead to nausea as well. And because your nervous system only learns to live in new conditions, there may be irritability, feeling of offence, and tiredness. Your immune system will have to acknowledge the new creature and before it does so, you may feel light sickness and high temperature. As a rule all these symptoms disappear by the time of placenta’s forming, it occurs during about 12th week of the fetus’ development.
You should not get up right after you have awoken. Stay in bed for about 15 minutes. The best for you in this situation is to have breakfast in bed. A piece of brown bread with honey would make perfect breakfast. It lessens nausea and raises your irresistibility to diseases. Crackers would be good as well. And to finish your breakfast, have a cup of mint tea. It will make your blood circulation better. Drink it with small sips, making pauses. Add a tea – spoon of honey instead of sugar.
Twins or triplets
In case of expecting two or even three babies at a time, pregnancy and fits as a rule occur according to a usual scheme. But the second (and third) delivery stage repeats two (three) times. But having two (or three) babies at a time does not mean only double troubles and problems. It also means double gladness and happiness.
And still, the risk of premature delivery, anemia, and late toxicosis (gestosis) rises. Children may have the incorrect position inside your uterus. You should be especially attentive towards yourself during 24th – 28th weeks. It is a critical period.
As a rule twins or triplets arrive with less weight than usual children. Each of them may have no more than 5 pounds. So, it is very important to eat well, especially in the first trimester. Your little ones need 400 – 600 extra calories a day. The diet with much protein is recommended.
You should visit your doctor regularly. This is the only way to see any development violation. Your backbone is overloaded with a double weight. You should take care of your bearing and have more rest. It is especially important during last weeks of your pregnancy. Eat with little portions in order to avoid digestion problems.
You begin to feel your twins or triplets inside of you two – three weeks earlier than if you would, expecting one baby. They may arrive during the 35th and 38th weeks of your pregnancy.
