Side Effects of Pregnancy
One sure thing about pregnancy is your body will respond to it in ways previously unfamiliar to you. No two people are likely to experience the exact same side effects, but here are some you may have.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
The good news is this ailment-in which an individual feels sensations of numbness, tingling, burning or a dull ache in the fingers, hand, wrist and/or arm-can probably get you out of some boring office work. The bad news is it makes it difficult to go online and chat with fellow sufferers. Some tips to alleviate the discomfort: Wear a brace, use an ergonomic keyboard and take plenty of breaks when typing.
- So emotional!
Your hormones are all out of whack. Who knows what will set you off-a song on the radio, an old picture in a photo album, maybe even a commercial jingle! Don’t worry, though, it’s to be expected, and nobody will even give it a second thought once your baby bump begins showing!
- Weird Cravings
Don’t be alarmed if you start wanting foods or beverages you wouldn’t normally touch. Your family will understand the sudden unpredictability-and may even appreciate your newfound palate!
- Heightened senses
You may walk into the supermarket and be overwhelmed by the smells. Not as much fun to walk into, say, a pet store, of course.
