The physiological changes of women after pregnancy include the following aspects.
(1) Menstruation does not come on time or the amount of blood is very small:Due to pregnancy The biggest change is amenorrhea. Menstruation does not come on time. After conception, the mother\’s body will increase the secretion of hormones. If the menstrual cycle, which has always been very regular, suddenly expires before it expires, or even does not come for two weeks, even if there is occasional bleeding. Or the blood volume is very small, then you should pay attention to whether you are pregnant.
(2) Rise in basal body temperature:Basal body temperature refers to when the body is not moving and sleeping quietly. body temperature.
The corpus luteum formed after ovulation in women secretes a hormone, which causes the basal body temperature to rise slightly. By measuring body temperature to capture body temperature changes, you can understand your menstrual period and ovulation period.
The basal body temperature of women who ovulate normally every month shows a certain cycle. There is a low temperature period from the menstrual period to the ovulation period, and a high temperature period about 2 weeks after ovulation. After that, the body temperature drops and the next menstrual period begins.
If you are pregnant, your body temperature will not drop even after the expected menstrual period, and the high temperature will continue until about 14 weeks of pregnancy.
(3) Morning sickness: Most people will experience nausea and vomiting in the morning after 5 to 6 weeks of pregnancy. Uncomfortable symptoms such as vomiting and lack of appetite occur in 50% to 90% of pregnant women.
(4) Breast changes: Due to the influence of hormones after pregnancy, the areola and nipples become dark, increase. In addition, the entire breast becomes hard, swollen, and painful.
(5) Frequent urination: After pregnancy, the uterus gradually becomes larger, and the bladder is sandwiched between the uterus and pubic bone. The pressure on your body and the accelerated blood circulation will inevitably make you feel more urgent and frequent urination., always want to go to the toilet.
(6) Constipation: Due to the action of progesterone during pregnancy, the intestinal motility function of defecation is promoted weaken. This is also related to the enlargement of the uterus and the compression of the large intestine.
(7) Increased leucorrhea:Leucorrhea is mainly mucus secreted by the cervix at the entrance to the uterus. After pregnancy, due to the influence of hormones, metabolism is active, so leucorrhea will increase.
(8) Emotional instability:Female hormone secretion is active, the hormone balance is broken, and it is easy to be irritable. , or shed tears at every turn, have extremely unstable emotions, sometimes feel in a trance all day long, cannot lift their energy to do anything, the body is easily tired and tired, and sleep increases.
Determining the method of pregnancy is indeed not that simple, especially in early pregnancy. Before 6 weeks of pregnancy, some signs are not obvious, so even experienced obstetricians and gynecologists often need help. A conclusion can only be drawn based on some objective indicators.
(1) Basal body temperature:The basal body temperature after ovulation is higher than before ovulation It is higher, rising by about 0.5°C, and lasts for 12 to 14 days, and does not decrease until 1 to 2 days before menstruation or on the first day of menstruation. If you test continuously for 3 to 4 days, you can determine whether you are pregnant.
(2) Cervical mucus: After a woman becomes pregnant, the \”menstrual corpus luteum\” of the ovary not only It will shrink, but will further develop into a \”corpus luteum of pregnancy\” and secrete a large amount of progesterone. Therefore, many ellipsoids arranged in rows can be seen in cervical mucus smears. Doctors can determine pregnancy when they see so many ellipsoids.
(3) Gynecological examination: During pregnancy, the changes in the reproductive system, especially the uterus, are very obvious . Perform a gynecological examination just a few days after menstruation. If the examination finds that the vaginal wall and cervix are congested, soft, and purple-blue in color; the junction of the cervix and the uterus is significantly softened, so that the two seem to be separated, and the uterus becomes soft and If it increases in size, widens its anteroposterior diameter and becomes spherical, and contacts the uterus to cause contraction, it can be concluded that pregnancy has occurred.
(4) B-mode ultrasound examination: If you use B-mode ultrasound examination at 5 weeks of pregnancy, the pregnancy will be visible on the screen Fetal heartbeat occurs at 7 to 8 weeks of pregnancy.
(5) Pregnancy test: A pregnancy test is to detect the presence of chorionic villi in maternal blood or urine Gonadotropins, if present, indicate the presence of embryonic villous trophoblast cells in the body, confirming pregnancy.
