Suddenly you feel like puking, difficult to breathe or feeling like getting faint, don't worry these are the common symptoms during pregnancy. Your cardiovascular system undergoes dramatic changes: Your heart rate goes up, your heart pumps more blood per minute and the amount of blood in your body expands by 40 to 45 percent.

Causes

• The main cause of dizziness in pregnancy is due to the rising hormones that cause your blood vessels to relax and widen. This helps increase the blood flow to your baby, but it slows the return of the blood in the veins to you. This causes your blood pressure to be lower than usual, which can reduce the blood flow to your brain, temporarily causing dizziness.

• Dizziness is also caused by low blood sugar levels that may occur as your body adapts to changes in your metabolism.

• During the second trimester, dizziness may be caused because your growing uterus puts pressure on blood vessels.

• Women who are anemic or who have varicose veins may be more susceptible to dizziness than others.

• Lying on your back In your second and third trimesters, your growing uterus can slow the circulation in your legs by compressing the inferior vena cava and the pelvic veins.

• When you don't eat enough, you can end up with low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can make you feel dizzy or faint.

• Spending time in a very hot room or taking a hot bath or shower can cause your blood vessels to dilate, lowering your blood pressure and making you dizzy.

• Excessive exercise or anxiety can sometimes cause you to hyperventilate and feel faint.

• Some people get dizzy when they strain to cough, pee, or have a bowel movement.

Remedies:
• Avoid standing for long periods.
• Eat regularly in small gap throughout the day
• Avoid lying on your back once you reach the middle of your second trimester
• Avoid hot baths
• Wear loose and comfortable clothes
• Get up slowly from either sitting or lying down
• Take deep breaths
• Eat foods rich in iron

Call you doctor if:
1. Dizziness is accompanied by severe headaches, blurred vision, impaired speech, palpitations, numbness, tingling, or bleeding, or if you actually faint.
2. Early in pregnancy, abdominal pain accompanied by dizziness
3. Your dizziness is accompanied by vaginal bleeding and/or pain in your abdomen.

When you are pregnant, you have a responsibility of caring more of yourself as your baby is inside you growing each and every moment. You should be very alert and observe your body properly. In case you find any unwanted changes do call your doctor, don't even think twice even it's midnight. There is nothing important than your baby. Let's see the symptoms which could be alarming:

• Once your baby starts kicking and you start feeling the movement, be attentive and keep a track. In case you feel your baby is not kicking like any other normal days do contact your doctor.

• Severe or persistent abdominal pain or tenderness.

• Vaginal bleeding or spotting.

• An increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge - that is, if it becomes watery, mucousy, or bloody (even if it's only pink or blood-tinged). Note: After 37 weeks, an increase in mucus discharge is normal.

• Pelvic pressure before 37 weeks.

• Painful or burning urination or little or no urination.

• Vomiting accompanied by pain or fever.
• Chills or fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

• Persistent or severe headache,

• Any swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, anything more than a little swelling in your hands, severe and sudden swelling of your feet or ankles.

• Difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, or chest pain.

• Severe constipation accompanied by abdominal pain

• Severe diarrhea that lasts more than 24 hours.

• Flu exposure or symptoms.

• Exposure to a communicable disease like chicken pox or rubella

• Depression or severe anxiety.

• Any other health problem that you'd ordinarily call your practitioner about, even if it's not related to your pregnancy (like worsening asthma or a cold that gets worse rather than better).

When you get pregnant you are completely unaware for the first month, so it's better to plan before conceiving to avoid any kind of birth defects for your baby. Becoming mother is an awesome experience and if you plan the entire journey you get a healthy baby in return.

1. In pregnancy you gain weight so keeping your weight in control is a good idea. Being seriously overweight or underweight can predispose your baby to birth defects such as cleft palate and diabetes.

2. Stop smoking and avoid alcohol. Smoking is associated with prematurity and low birth weights, increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and asthma.    Fetal alcohol syndrome can cause serious defects and learning disabilities -- some of which might not show up for several years.

3. Contact doctor if you are under some treatment and having regular medicine. The side effects could be dangerous for your baby.

4. Start taking prenatal vitamins, including folic acid, calcium and other nutrients.

5. Get your rubella and chicken pox tested. Also check your HIV status. Pregnancy is very risky for HIV-positive women.

6. You and your partner should know your blood group. If they are not compatible, your blood type also may be incompatible with the baby's, leading to anemia or more serious problems for the infant at birth. RH disease, which results from incompatibility, can be treated easily during the pregnancy.

7. You must be aware of any kind of genetic disease in your family. The goal is to make you aware if any hereditary birth defects run in the family that can be treated as early as possible.
