After getting married, many women will undergo some changes, including physiological and physical changes. After getting married, some women may feel overweight and bloated, so the reason for this weight gain is that some women are curious about the symptoms of pregnancy. So, how to distinguish between pregnancy and weight gain?
How to distinguish between pregnancy and weight gain
After pregnancy, women will experience amenorrhea, which is the most obvious and important signal in the early stages of pregnancy. Generally speaking, women of childbearing age with normal menstrual cycles should suspect pregnancy if their menstrual cycle is delayed for more than 10 days after sexual activity, and if their menstrual cycle is stopped for more than 2 weeks, they need to go to the hospital for examination. There are also a very small number of women who experience missed menstruation, which means that even if they are pregnant, they will still have their period on the day when it is due.
But gaining weight only results in fat and there is no physical reaction, so it's easy to distinguish. If you are not at ease, you can go to the hospital for a check-up.
How to alleviate discomfort symptoms during early pregnancy
1. Nausea and vomiting: To alleviate the discomfort caused by vomiting during pregnancy, pregnant women can choose to eat fresh and easily digestible foods, such as more fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating overly greasy and stimulating foods. Nausea and vomiting that occur during early pregnancy are normal physiological phenomena, and there is no need to be overly nervous. Early pregnancy body temperature usually has little impact on health and does not require treatment. Just maintain a happy and stable mood, and pay attention to rest. Most people can resolve these symptoms on their own after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Of course, if nausea symptoms are particularly severe, vitamin B6 can be taken orally. If metabolism becomes disrupted, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment.
2. Breast swelling and pain: For breast swelling and pain symptoms that occur after pregnancy, pregnant women can use breast care methods such as hot compress and massage to relieve them. It is important to note that breasts are very fragile during this period, and pregnant women should move gently during the care process to avoid damaging the nipples.
3. Lower back pain and soreness: For the symptoms of lower back pain that occur during early pregnancy, proper rest, local hot compress, and massage can effectively improve it. There is no need for special medical treatment. If there is severe muscle weakness or numbness, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner. If you want to improve the symptoms of lower back pain in early pregnancy, you need to rest adequately, do prenatal exercise, and wear low heeled shoes.
How to distinguish between pregnancy and weight gain is very simple. After pregnancy, the first symptom is amenorrhea. If menstruation does not come, there is a 50% chance of pregnancy. Therefore, in many cases, women should not blindly assume that they are pregnant just because they have gained weight. There may be many uncomfortable feelings in early pregnancy, which can be gradually alleviated through the above methods.
