During pregnancy, a lot changes in your body. Due to hormones and the growth of your baby, various complaints can arise. Many of these complaints are normal, but that doesn't mean you have to live with them. Feel free to discuss them during a check-up.
Nausea is especially common in the first months and is related to hormonal changes.
If nausea persists strongly, please contact us.
Your body is working hard to grow your baby. Especially in the beginning, you may feel extra tired because of this.
Pregnancy hormones make ligaments and joints more flexible, which can cause pain in the pelvis or lower back.
If pain persists, a pelvic physiotherapist can provide support.
Stomach acid
Due to the growth of the uterus and the loosening of the stomach valve, stomach acid can rise more easily.
Hard bellies are contractions of the uterus, often as a response to exertion or activity.
During pregnancy, your body retains more fluid, often in the hands, feet, and ankles.
Cramp often occurs at night and is related to changes in muscles and circulation.
Ligament pain occurs because the ligaments around the uterus stretch during growth.
Due to changes in your circulation and blood pressure, you may sometimes feel dizzy.
Due to hormonal changes, your intestines work slower, which can cause constipation.
Due to increased blood flow and pressure on blood vessels, varicose veins can develop in the legs or groin area.
Fluid retention can create pressure on nerves, which can cause tingling or a numb feeling, especially at night.
These complaints usually resolve on their own after childbirth.
