The condition of each pregnant woman may be different. In fact, the conditions experienced in each pregnancy are not necessarily the same. However, recognizing conditions that are considered dangerous, is certainly very important. This is needed so that pregnant women can get immediate treatment if needed.
There are various conditions that may be experienced by pregnant women, such as nausea vomiting or morning sickness, until feeling tired easily. Although it feels disturbing, but to a certain extent the condition is actually still reasonable. Come on, get to know more serious conditions and need to be examined immediately.
Pregnancy Conditions to Watch Out for
Be aware of various conditions or complaints that may be experienced in pregnancy, does not mean you have to feel anxious. Instead you must remain calm. Then, go to the hospital or have someone else take you to the doctor, if you experience the following conditions:
Excessive nausea and vomiting
Excessive nausea and vomiting make it difficult to eat food and drink reliably. This risks causing you to become dehydrated and lack nutrition. Of course this condition is not good for pregnancy. To deal with nausea and vomiting, doctors can provide advice and treatment according to the cause of the complaint.
Premature rupture of membranes
Premature rupture of the membranes is characterized by the appearance of heavy fluid coming out of the vagina. If you are not sure whether it is urine or amniotic fluid, try urinating. If the liquid continues to come out after urinating stops, then that means amniotic fluid.
Symptoms of preeclampsia
Preeclampsia can cause pregnant women to experience symptoms of headaches accompanied by impaired vision and swelling of the limbs (edema). This serious disorder generally occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy, usually characterized by high blood pressure and excessive protein levels in urine. That is why you need to check blood pressure regularly.
Decreased frequency of movement of the baby in the womb
Kick babies in the womb can be felt about 10 times per hour. If the baby's movements feel different or significantly reduced, to anticipate it, you are advised to check the pregnancy to the doctor.
Bleeding or blood spots
Bleeding can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, if the blood volume is very high, accompanied by cramps and abdominal pain that is very severe in the first trimester. In addition, severe bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage, especially if it occurs in the first or early second trimester (less than 20 weeks of pregnancy). While if this condition occurs in the third trimester, it can indicate the occurrence of placental or placental abruption apart from the uterine wall.
Early contractions
Entering the third trimester, you will begin to feel mild contractions or often known as fake contractions, as a sign that the body is getting ready for labor. But if the contractions are felt every 10 minutes, and the longer the stronger, you are advised to immediately go to the obstetrician or hospital. Contractions like this at the beginning of the third trimester may be a sign of preterm labor.
In addition to some of the conditions above, there are also other conditions that indicate you need to be immediately taken to the ER. These include shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, high fever, severe headaches, vomiting of blood, abdominal pain or severe diarrhea for more than a day.
Some of the conditions above must be watched out for pregnant women. However, that does not mean you have to panic or excessive fear, huh. If pregnant women experience these conditions, pregnant women need to remain calm and immediately seek medical help and treatment from an obstetrician. The faster it is handled, the smaller the risk of pregnancy disorders that may occur.
