What changes will the expectant mother see in the 8th week of pregnancy?
In the eighth week of your pregnancy, which corresponds to approximately 2 months, it is generally considered normal to experience nausea problems because you are still in the first trimester. In addition, pregnancy hormones have been operating in your body with violent fluctuations for a long time, and therefore, you may have unpleasant changes in your skin. Because these hormonal changes increase your skin's oil secretion. In this case, it usually causes acne problems. There is no need to feel unhappy because of such changes, because these changes are known as short-term and temporary changes. After the first trimester, that is, the first three months of pregnancy, is over, acne on the face decreases to a great extent because your hormones start to work more regularly.
In addition to external changes, there are also important changes inside your body during this week. The fact that your uterus is constantly growing and expanding is considered the most important internal change. Your uterus reaches the size of an orange in the eighth week, and since this expansion constantly puts pressure on your bladder, frequent urination may occur. However, it should be known that just like acne on the face, this frequent urination will decrease after the first trimester. Bleeding similar to menstrual bleeding may occur during this week. The reason for this bleeding is that the placenta takes on the task of forming the inner tissue of the uterus and is considered a very natural situation. It is also considered normal for you to feel tired and exhausted due to the intense activities that are still ongoing in your body during this period, and therefore to constantly want to sleep.
