Developing mesothelioma during pregnancy can cause no harm to the baby. There is no chance that the asbestos will affect the baby since it is not genetically transmitted. Chest pain, abdominal pain, swelling, anemia and fever are some of the symptoms that often mistaken as pneumonia which results in slow detection of the cancer.

Mesothelioma facts including symptoms, treatment, risk factors and diagnosis are available in the internet. If you or any of your family member is being exposed in asbestos fibers and dust it takes years before the cancer is diagnosed. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are the two possible treatment to cure the cancer. Pregnant women are safe to undergo traditional chemotherapy treatment.

The most exciting part of the pregnancy for me. Time pass by very slowly as we wait for our due date. It’s the best time to search for a beautiful name since the we already know the baby’s sex/gender by this time. Constant back pain and abdominal growth are noticeable this time because more pressure is on your legs, pelvis and bladder. As the baby moves deeper, more pressure will be on the bladder that causes frequent urination.

During the entire pregnancy, it’s best to exercise or walk at least 30 minutes every morning. This will lessen leg cramps and other pregnancy problem.

My first prenatal appointment was in a private clinic and during my fifth month. Yes. I was afraid to go to a doctor and have myself checked if I’m pregnant (which was obvious since I got no monthly periods anymore) or not. Lloyd was not even with me during my very first prenatal check ups ( he was not even there on my prenatal appointments during my entire pregnancy). We were very afraid at that time and we always fight.

I was with my two friends on my first prenatal check-up. They were much excited than me. They even want to go inside the room and hear Elijah’s heartbeat. As I heard the heartbeat, I don’t know if I should be happy or not. All I know is that I already have a five month old fetus in my belly. I was prescribed to buy prenatal milk and vitamins Good thing Lloyd bought all of them for me. What a relief!

In this trimester, expect that your breast and belly will be larger than on the first trimester. Stretchmarks will be visible during this stage and a moisturizer will help. This is also the start of rapid gain weight so you may feel the need to wear maternity dress.

You’ll start to notice fetal movements during the second trimester. Mark your calendar whenever you feel your baby is moving because your doctor might ask you about it on your next visit. Leg cramps often occur in women with insufficient calcium and potassium intake.

The first trimester starts on the first day of your last menstruation period and ends after 12 weeks. Frequent urination, swollen breast, morning sickness, fatigue, dizziness, food cravings and other emotional symptoms are only few of the changes you might feel during the first trimester. Morning sickness occurs throughout the day, it is often called as nausea.

A soon as you missed your period, remember to contact your doctor to know if you are pregnant or not. In this way, you will be examined to know if you are healthy and will be given prenatal vitamins to help you and your baby stay healthy during pregnancy.

During the first and second trimester, you are asked to see you doctor monthly. On your third trimester, you have to see your doctor every two weeks until 36 weeks then weekly until your baby is born. They say the first prenatal check up is the longest since you have to provide information about your health, health history of your family which may affect your pregnancy and the likes. Only physical exam is done during check ups, no internal examinations are needed.

The goal of your prenatal check ups is to see how are you and the baby during the pregnancy. This is also to inform you the things you have to know what answer all the questions running in your mind. Do not miss your prenatal check ups. It’s very important to see your doctor even if you are feeling fine.

If you really want to have a whiter teeth during pregnancy then the best thing to do is talk to your doctor and dentist for any recommendation they have for you. New technology offers laser for teeth whitening but since we are not 100% sure about it, maybe you can wait until you give birth. It’s better safe than sorry.

There’s a home remedy in whitening teeth, you can use baking soda. Mix it with water or your favorite toothpaste then brush your teeth. Do this only once in every two weeks.

Prescription drugs use to lessen acne are not advisable for pregnant women to use. To prevent the problem, try to wash your fash wild mild and hypoallergenic soap and cleanser. Instead of rubbing, pat your skin to dry. Water-based makeups are much better than oil-based makeups also do not forget to wash your face before going to bed.

Pregnancy is not that bad after all. It only takes 9 wonderful months of your life without taking anything that maybe harmful to you and your baby. If you feel the need to take beauty products, it’s always better to ask your doctor first. They know what’s best for you.

An increased risk in miscarriage is associated with taking aspirin during the time of conception and earl pregnancy. It will also cause complications during delivery and problems to the unborn child. Avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs too.

If you are already using aspirin for some kind of medication, then ask your doctor how much dose can you take during pregnancy. Some physicians believe that low doses of aspirin can be safe.

In choosing a maternity bra make sure that it has wide shoulder straps to give extra support, comfortable with soft and breathable fabric, with adjustable back fastening and support panels.
