How should I feel 8 weeks pregnant? It is normal to still feel nauseous, and that's often for another few weeks. That feels like forever. For most women, it ends with the end of the first trimester. But if you're unlucky enough to have it last all nine months or be bad enough to land you in the hospital, odds are, you're having a girl. That is one gender determination method I don't want to try out. At eight weeks pregnant, you may feel like your pants are getting tight, though if it is the first pregnancy, that might not affect things until the third month. It is around the third or fourth month the pregnancy sticks out past the pubic bone. You'll still feel bloated at this point, since a lot of women retain fluids. I've heard of swollen ankles as a common symptom of pregnancy. You'll want to drink more water or anything else that hydrates you, though that is hard since you tend to want caffeine and energy drinks to get your energy level back. What makes women so tired at this phase of the pregnancy? Puking every morning can do it, as would being dehydrated due to puking. And then there's just the expansion of the blood supply to support the baby while you feel ill just walking past the meat aisle. I heard of a girl puking when she heard the word kalamari. That is actually and literally in her head, though I can see why thinking of squid rings would make anyone who wasn't Japanese feel ill. You realize a poh-boy is a shrimp sandwich. It is common to feel ill whether you smell fish or red meat at this stage. That makes it really hard to get enough iron and protein. You can make up for it by eating more nuts, soy based vegan - Okay, now I am feeling ill. It is common to feel bloated due to constipation. I don't think I can take anything for that. You can take the same high fiber diet foods they give to old people with the same problem, in addition to getting rehydrated. I know dehydration can cause constipation. In the second and third trimester, you're more likely to get gas and fart more, because the hormones that relax various tendons causes the digestive tract to relax too. I know you have to work on the kegel exercises or something similar to keep the pelvic floor from weakening too much. No, the strain of pushing the baby out tends to strain that, though kegel exercises will help you keep urine in when you sneeze or strain after delivery. That doesn't help me keep it in now. I know you're eating for a fraction of a person now, but it feels like you're peeing for two people. But if you feel constant pressure even after you pee or burning when you pee, that's a urinary tract infection. And I can't take antibiotics. They can give you antibiotics for an infection like that, and will do so in order to prevent it from affecting your kidneys. And if you have itching, burning and a bad smell down there, it is a yeast infection. That you can treat with over the counter stuff. True, but it is common at this point of the pregnancy due to the extra vaginal discharge. As if I need any other misery while waiting for my bundle of joy. Then it is all to make you ready and willing to go through labor to end that set of frustration so you can be happy staying up all night with the screaming bundle of joy.
