Changes induced by the pregnancy

By now, the functional and anatomical changes induced by the gestation are known and described: the body of the woman is perfectly prepared to assume them. We have already described the early changes: feeling nauseous, vomiting, increased and sensitive breasts, etc.

As gestation progresses, the woman can feel more sensitive, and, sometimes, tired and weary. She will exhibit higher skin pigmentation, and, in some cases, have the appearance of stretch marks and even hair increase, which will be temporary. It is also common to have constipation problems, in some cases together with haemorrhoids.

During the third three-month period and due to the increase of the uterus that compresses the neighbouring organs, muscular-articular symptoms, cramps and lumbago appear. Mictional symptoms are also frequent, and finally, the appearance or worsening of haemorrhoids and varicose veins.
