voucher: It's not too early dear.. Your body is changing to accommodate your baby. Your baby is also adding weight and your uterus is expanding thereby putting more pressure on your ligaments and muscles at your pelvic area hence the pain. It's totally normal. 2 Likes |

#ATGHeadachesDuringPregnancy Topic: Headaches during pregnancy #Intro 1. Headaches are one of the most common discomforts experienced during pregnancy. 2. Headaches may occur at any time during your pregnancy, but they tend to be most common during the first and third trimesters. 3. Women who have regular migraine headaches may discover that they experience fewer migraines during pregnancy; however, some women may encounter the same number or even more migraine headaches. 4. If you are pregnant, it is important to talk to your health care provider about any medications that you may be taking for headaches. #Causes What causes headaches during pregnancy? · During the first trimester, your body experiences a surge of hormones and an increase in blood volume. · These two changes can cause more frequent headaches. · These headaches may be further aggravated by stress, poor posture or changes in your vision. · Headaches during the third trimester tend to be related more often to poor posture and tension from carrying extra weight. · Headaches during the third trimester may also be caused by a condition called preeclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy. Other causes of headaches during pregnancy may involve one or more of the following: Lack of sleep Low blood sugar Dehydration Caffeine withdrawal Stress (due to many changes) #Management What can you do to treat headaches during pregnancy? The best way to deal with headaches is to avoid them altogether. Avoiding tension headaches is easiest when you follow these tips: Practice good posture (especially during the third trimester) Get plenty of rest and relaxation Exercise Eat well-balanced meals Apply cold or heat packs to your head If you are not able to prevent headaches, there are still steps you can take to help them go away. During pregnancy, you want to try and relieve your headache by natural means if possible. Pain relief medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen are not recommended in most pregnancies; however, acetaminophen may be recommended by your health care provider. #Remedies Natural remedies: Warm compress around your eyes and nose, If you have a sinus headache, Apply a cold compress or ice pack at the base of your neck. If you have a tension headache, Maintain your blood sugar by eating smaller, more frequent meals – this may also help prevent future headaches Get a massage – massaging your shoulders and neck is an effective way to relieve pain Rest in a dark room and practice deep breathing Take a warm shower or bath Applying heat or cold to the sides of the head, the eyes, or along the back of the neck is one of the best ways to reduce or relieve the pain associated with a headache. Heating pads and cold packs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but most require using a microwave or the freezer first. #Triggers Potential triggers include: Chocolate Alcohol Yogurt Aged cheese Peanuts Breads with fresh yeast #DoctorCall When should you contact your health care provider? Unfortunately, headaches are a normal part of pregnancy; however, you should be able to experience some relief. Contact your health care provider: Before taking any medications If you do not experience any relief from the remedies above Your headaches get worse or more persistent You experience headaches that are different than normal Your headaches are accompanied by blurry vision, sudden weight gain, pain in the upper right abdomen, and swelling in the hands and face Thank you ~ ATG Group Reference & Photo Credit American Pregnancy Association Mayo clinic DIY Life Martini. 7 Likes |

Advise needed There's an Indian firm offering to use my car from Monday to Friday, time is 9am to 5pm but time is subjected to change. So they gave me 2 options 1. They use my car and fuel it during the period they use it while they pay me 12k after the day 2. They let me fuel the car while they use it for the day and pay me 15k after.. This people don't go around, just to drive them to office and wait till they close while you drive them back home but sometimes, they can goto their office outside Lagos but you don't get to be burning fuel around. Does this offer makes sense and which will you be going for if it were to be you. |

Olayetan:The first option is a better deal for me. You don't have to go through the stress of buying fuel. They will handle it themselves. |
