Pregnancy Body changes and discomforts:

2. Constipation

Many pregnant women complain of constipation. Signs of constipation include having hard, dry stools; fewer than three bowel movements per week; and painful bowel movements.

Higher levels of hormones due to pregnancy slow down digestion and relax muscles in the bowels leaving many women constipated. Plus, the pressure of the expanding uterus on the bowels can contribute to constipation.

What might help:
Drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily.
Don't drink caffeine.
Eat fiber-rich foods, such as fresh or dried fruit, raw vegetables, and whole-grain cereals and breads.
Try mild physical activity.

Call the doctor if:
Tell your doctor if constipation does not go away.

Pregnancy Body changes and discomforts:

1.Body aches
As your uterus expands, you may feel aches and pains in the back, abdomen, groin area, and thighs. Many women also have backaches and aching near the pelvic bone due the pressure of the baby's head, increased weight, and loosening joints. Some pregnant women complain of pain that runs from the lower back, down the back of one leg, to the knee or foot. This is called sciatica (SYE-AT-ick-uh). It is thought to occur when the uterus puts pressure on the sciatic nerve.

What might help:
Lie down.
Rest.
Apply heat.

Call the doctor if:
Pain does not get better.

Smoking During Pregnancy

If your health isn't enough to make you quit smoking, then the health of your baby should be. Smoking during pregnancy affects you and your baby's health before, during, and after your baby is born. The ni****ne (the addictive substance in ci******es), carbon monoxide, and numerous other poisons you inhale from a cigarette are carried through your bloodstream and go directly to your baby. Smoking while pregnant will:

Lower the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing baby.
Increase your baby's heart rate.
Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth.
Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight.
Increase your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems.
The more ci******es you smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems. There is no "safe" level of smoking while pregnant.

What are the signs and symptoms of high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is called the silent killer because you can have it for years without knowing it. The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure measured. Using a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope or electronic sensor, your doctor or nurse can take your blood pressure and tell you if it is high.Even though high blood pressure usually has no signs or symptoms, it is dangerous if it continues over time. It is important to find out whether you have high blood pressure and, if you do, how to keep it under control.

Eat these foods for healthy kidneys:

A healthy kidney is as important as a healthy heart. A person with kidney problems will tell you how painful life can be when one's kidneys are unfit to process daily body waste.

Issues range from difficulty in passing urine to puffiness around the eyes, feet and hands. Kidney failure is an agonizing problem; hence to maintain healthy kidneys, we prep you with food that can improve kidney function. Here's a list of foods you must eat for healthy kidneys.

Red capsicum
This vegetable adds flavour whether it is baked, roasted, cooked or stuffed. Capsicums help to break down waste that is in the blood, hence a prefect veggie for those suffering with kidney disease. But make sure it is red capsicum for kidney patients.

Egg whites
If you have kidney problems, you need protein with less phosphorus. This is when egg whites come into play as these have healthy proteins and far less phosphorus compared to other sources of protein. Keep in mind that people with kidney problems should avoid egg yolks.

Cauliflower
The simplest way to prepare cauliflower is to boil it and add pepper and salt. But this flowery vegetable is an enemy for toxic compounds in your body. The cauliflower is rich is indoles, glucosinolates and thiocyanates that bumps off all the toxic waste in your body.

Cabbage
Cabbage forms a core ingredient for the most loved and relished Indian-Chinese food. But this layered vegetable is a great source for phytochemicals that cut down free radicals, which damage the body and the skin. Essentially, any fruit and vegetable that breaks down free radicals is a secret to natural glowing skin. Raw cabbage is the preferred way to consume cabbages for those going through dialysis.

Fish
Fish dishes are popular with coastal residents, but thanks to our well connected roads fish is available to cities away from the coast. It may cost more but fish has anti-inflammatory fats, omega-3 that can reduce kidney problems. Fish it also a good source for proteins, have it anyway you like it - crispy, baked or in amazing coconut curry.

Juice
Fruit juice or vegetable juice, both have properties to break down waste and flush them out. The juices, especially vegetable juices have phytochemicals that are great for those undergoing dialysis as they help prevent kidney failure. Fruit juices, especially berries are rich in antioxidants that avoid issues and improve kidney health. You can either have vegetable and fruits or squeeze them out for their juices.
