Physical and Emotional Changes in Early Pregnancy
The first 12 weeks of pregnancy bring many physical and emotional changes, and this chapter explains what to expect. It covers early signs such as a missed period, tender breasts and frequent urination, then morning sickness, fatigue, and when mild spotting and cramping may be normal or need a call to your provider. It describes the roles of the key pregnancy hormones, hCG, progesterone and oestrogen, and how they can affect energy, mood and skin. The chapter also discusses mood swings and anxiety, with suggestions for seeking support and using relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, yoga and meditation.
