Heavy Bleeding
If a pregnant woman sees heavy bleeding, it can be worrisome. Heavy bleeding during pregnancy isn't normal, so it's important to get help right away. Go to a doctor or hospital to identify the cause and ensure the health of both mother and baby. They will check to see why there's bleeding and make sure both the mom and the baby are okay. Heavy bleeding during pregnancy should never be ignored.
Blurry Vision
Your body goes through a huge number of physical and mental changes during pregnancy. Being tired or feeling dizzy is quite common. But if you frequently experience blurry vision, especially when combined with other symptoms such as abdominal pain and headaches, it could be a sign of preeclampsia. So, do visit your doctor and describe your symptoms in detail.
Fever
Pregnancy is a time when your immunity might be lower than usual, and you will be more prone to fevers and body aches. If your fever persists for over 24 hours, do see your doctor, as even mild viral infections can escalate during pregnancy.
Itching
As the skin in your belly region stretches, it will start feeling itchy. Even the pregnancy hormonal changes can sometimes cause itchiness and rashes all over the body. Though in most cases it is not dangerous, if the redness & itchiness persist despite moisturisers, it’s best to consult your doctor. In extremely rare cases, it could be an indication of a liver disorder that can lead to pre-term labour.
Rapid Weight Gain
It is a fact that the baby gains the maximum weight only in the last trimester, and that is the time you will see the maximum weight gain in yourself. If you find that you are gaining more weight than what your doctor recommends, it could be a sign of preeclampsia.
Swollen Face, Hands & Feet
It is common to have water retention during pregnancy, and this causes puffiness or swelling. But any sudden puffiness, especially in the face, could again be a sign of preeclampsia. If you notice unusual swelling, visit the doctor to rule out any complications.
Severe Abdominal Pain
While aches and pains are a part of even healthy pregnancies, severe abdominal pain can be a cause for concern. It could be a sign of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
Burning Sensation While Peeing
Pain or a burning sensation while urinating and unexpected high fevers may indicate a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). UTIs during pregnancy can be dangerous for the baby.
