8 Week Ultrasound

At this stage of pregnancy, you will probably feel as if everything stinks! This is mainly because of those crazy hormonal fluctuations and changes in your body that give you an acute sense of smell.

8 week comes with many pregnancy symptoms:

• Low energy
  Getting a nap at 8 weeks of pregnancy is necessary. Why? With those high levels of fluctuating hormones, your body starts to generate more blood for the little one, which, in turn, results in having less blood sugar and pressure compared to the pre-pregnancy period.
  Your body’s source of energy is also spent on growing the tiny fetus. Therefore, the best option is to get adequate sleep.
• Morning sickness
  Due to the pregnancy hormones, you may feel really strong nausea at 8 weeks. Those who experience severe morning sickness at 8 weeks, need to figure out options to settle down the problem. While not all the choices below may work for you, many women are generally helped by the following applications:
  – Drinking ginger tea
  – Avoiding spicy foods
  – Keeping yourself well hydrate
  – Taking vitamins at night

• Having sore breasts 
  Having sore breasts is one of the symptoms of 8 weeks pregnancy, which is due to obvious reasons: lobules that produce milk in your breasts are beginning to expand to prepare for breastfeeding.

• High sensitivity to smells
  As if the morning sickness is not enough, you will also experience another fun symptom: an uncanny sense of smell. You can easily get nauseous by catching a small whiff of an offensive odor, which normally you don’t even feel. The solution? Simply try to avoid smells that you have sensitive to. In addition, make sure you substitute the cleaning products you use before with odorless ones.

• Constipation
  If you experience constipation at this stage of pregnancy, then you are not alone. In general, nearly 50 percent of pregnant women have the condition at 8 weeks.
  The best ways to overcome the condition are to keep yourself nourished with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and avoiding consumption of certain foods that lead to constipation.

• Cramps
  Feeling cramps at 8 weeks of pregnancy is generally normal. The cramping is associated with the stretching of ligaments in your abdomen as your uterus enlarges. If you have serious cramping or are nervous in some way, let your doctor know.

Twins 8 Weeks

Women who are pregnant with twins at 8 weeks may feel more exhausted and nauseous. The reason behind the increased levels of extra tiredness and nauseous is that since your body is nourishing two babies, more of those pregnancy hormones are produced.

It is important to keep in mind: all the feelings of tiredness, nauseousness, or even extra hunger are related to the changes to which your body is trying to adapt.  

Besides, some women may not even feel all those symptoms stated above at 8 weeks, which is also quite normal. So, don’t get anxious thinking why you’re not feeling any symptoms because you will more likely start experiencing all of them soon!
