• Breast tenderness and enlargement

• Frequent urination, especially during the night

Frequent urination is a recurring pregnancy symptom that is constantly present throughout the pregnancy. If you read somewhere on the internet to reduce the intake of water to avoid multiple trips to the toilet, you are doing it wrong. Never restrict water consumption in an effort to decrease the frequency of urination. 

Provided that you are not experiencing a burning sensation while urinating, increased frequency is normal and will go away automatically. However, you can do these things to lessen your bathroom trips and ease the flow:

1. Limiting water intake 1 hour before bedtime and urinating before going to sleep. Doing this beforehand will not interrupt your sleep late at night.
2. Avoid caffeinated drinks because caffeine is a diuretic. If consumed in excess, caffeine can cause an increase in the frequency of urination.
3. Lean forward while urination. It helps the amount of urine in the bladder to be discharged and smoothens its flow.

• Nausea & Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are typical in pregnancy. Can you guess who is the culprit here? If you thought about pregnancy hormones as the culprit behind these pregnancy symptoms, you are absolutely correct. To reduce them, follow these ways:

1. Eat in small but frequent portions. Staying hungry for longer times can cause nausea or even make it worse.
