What I'd like you to do this week is find out about the chemical changes that effect a woman's body when she is pregnant. Find out what chemicals change in the body, and what their function is. BE SPECIFIC.

When your pregnant you increase the amount of blood in your body because of the baby so you need to drink more water. & then bloating in your ankles/feet/hands will occur.

Okay, nice start girls, but can you tell me WHY your ankles might bloat, or WHY you might be moody? How about nutrition? What kinds of extra nutrients, other than the basics, would you need when you are pregnant?

the reason your moody is because you hormones are going crazy/ and there is a aftershock when you could potentially get post pardon depression! which is a major mood swing!

The reason your ankles bloat during a pregnancy is because your body retains more fluid and while your body is preparing for a baby it adds pressure to your veins. This makes it hard for blood to reach your heart & this leads to swelling. Besides all the extra proteins/vitamins you need to take when you're pregnant, you also need to take a prenatal vitamin that helps with any nutrition deficiencies the mother might have. Such as; lack of iron.

one of the hormones produced during pregnancy even more than normal is oestrogen. This causes the menstrual cycle to stop because the woman is pregnant

Some changes in a women body when she is pregnant is food cravings. This happens because her hormones are all over the place. It messes with the taste buds and her sense of smell, that is one of the reasons women have food cravings. There are also other reasons such as they will have mood swings, morning sickness and tenderness in the body. Comments are closed.
