Despite the fact that there are many books and useful materials on pregnancy, it still remains mysterious and incomprehensible to the process.

Is it possible to drink a pregnant woman to drink coffee?During pregnancy, you can use coffee or caffeine in moderate quantities. It is recommended to use no more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per day as part of all drinks: coffee, tea and lemonade. But I am a bit more conservative, and I would say that you can use no more than one cup per day. Everyone who drinks more than this dose increases the risk of miscarriage.
Why does meteorism arise during pregnancy?During pregnancy in the body of a woman, the amount of progesterone increases, which slows down the digestion process, as a result of which gases can often be formed.

Therefore, some begin to be interested in cucumbers, although before that they were indifferent to them. But the fact that all pregnant women invariably want salted cucumbers is a myth.
As for ice, this is because because of the hormones, pregnant women are hotter than everyone else - especially because of progesterone. Another reason is that many pregnant women have moderate anemia - it can also force them to want ice.
If the desire is very strong, such a condition is called "Picacism" - this is when you want to eat strange products due to the fact that you have problems with blood or anemia.
Why pregnant women sick and tear?The growing level of pregnancy hormone - HCG - makes women more sensitive and causes nausea, especially in the first trimester.

Why during pregnancy headache?Changes in hormonal background during pregnancy increase the tendency of some women to the headaches. Other women who suffered from head pains to pregnancy, often noted that during pregnancy their pain, on the contrary, pass - too because of hormones.

Swimming is perfect, the main thing is not to be in the pool or bath, the temperature of the water in which is higher than the temperature of your body - during pregnancy it is not recommended to do so.
Why during pregnancy my discharge became yellow?During pregnancy, vaginal discharges may change - this is due to the change in hormonal background, which lead to an increase in the amount of secretions and mucus.

What will happen if drinking alcohol during pregnancy?Alcohol is considered a substance that is able to directly affect the fruit and can cause changes in the development of the brain and even anatomical changes in the body of the fetus.

You can't control it in any way, and I can't know what effect on the child will have even a small dose of alcohol.
