Pregnancy Symptoms at 8 Weeks
You should not be surprised that in just one month's time your bra has apparently just grown small. Instead, get to your drawer and set ready the larger sizes you bought the other day as their time has come. The increase in breast size is not because you have increased some weight. Rather it is because your body is preparing for lactation. The increase in size of the breast will continue during pregnancy week by week.
The key symptoms of pregnancy at 8 weeks include the increased levels of nausea, vomiting, feeling more sluggish and loss of energy due to high levels of progesterone in the body. This is due to hormonal changes the mother is experiencing. The most traditional way to deal with this is maybe to take a walk, undeniably the best remedy for fatigue.
Other common pregnancy symptoms at week 8 include the strong urge to feed on weird stuff like clay; this is caused by lack of iron in the body. It may be embarrassing that you are farting more regularly at week 8, this is remarkably normal and we call it flatulence. Flatulence is when the relaxin and progesterone hormones together relax the body muscles (at the gastrointestinal tract) and so the resultant indigested gas is released which can be embarrassing, and maybe an apology can help.
Bloating and constipation are other symptoms of pregnancy at week 8. What we eat is therefore extremely crucial. At the 8th week of pregnancy, the sense of smell rises. By this, I do not mean the mother's appetite increases, I mean exactly the opposite. Keep the windows open at the kitchen and go for foods that do not require cooking, since they will turn you away from eating. You now understand that your baby is growing after observing these pregnancy symptoms by weeks so you need to be more careful on what you eat and wear. Stomach would agree with more fruits as they are nutritious and can serve as the best alternative to vegetables.
Lastly, you will likely experience vaginal discharge. Do not worry, this keeps the birth canal clean.
