Disorders in the sixth month of pregnancy.

The disorders that occur in the sixth month of pregnancy mostly concern: breathlessness, varicose veins and gestosis.

The Sorrow during the sixth month.

A sensation that often occurs during the sixth month of pregnancy is breathlessness and occurs during or after carrying out simple actions. All these actions, which in the first months of waiting the future mother carried out without particular effort, can cause a sense of respiratory fatigue accompanied by a slight tachycardia, a slight increase in heartbeats. As the uterus enlarges to make room for the fetus, the surrounding organs are pushed upwards and pressed against the diaphragm, the muscle responsible for breathing. it intensifies respiratory fatigue, reducing cardiorespiratory resistance: in practice, the pregnant woman gets tired immediately even performing very simple actions and feels the sensation of breathlessness and shortness of breath.

What to do

1 Try to lead a quiet life, slowing down the pace of daily life so as not to tire too much.

2 Avoid climbing stairs with weights.

3 Stop every now and then to catch your breath if, for example, you feel tired while walking.

4 Avoid places that are too crowded or hot.

The appearance of varices.

Varices are dilations of the veins that appear on the legs, due to venous stasis, that is, a slowdown in blood circulation. 70 percent of varicose veins already manifest themselves from the first months of pregnancy: at the base there are the typical hormones of gestation, in particular estrogen and progesterone, which relax the veins and decrease their elasticity. As a result, the blood flows more slowly and stagnates in the veins, causing them to dilate. The symptoms are different: varicose veins can appear as purple or bluish red spots (without causing particular discomfort) or create more evident protrusions that at the end of the day force the future mother to lift her legs to allow the blood to flow better and therefore draw some 'of relief.

What to do

1 Keep your weight under control:

2 Put on elastic stockings

3 Avoid standing for a long time

4 Practice physical activity.

5 Do not cross your legs.

The natural remedy.

To combat swelling in the legs, we recommend to the future mother herbal preparations, with toning properties on the blood vessels, such as horse chestnut, rue, centella and chestnut. The doctor can prescribe a single remedy or compounds of various herbs: the dosages range between 15 and 20 drops, to be taken twice a day, but also vary according to the seriousness of the problem and the remedy prescribed.

The use of elastic stockings.

The graduated compression elastic stockings are indicated to prevent circulation problems and, therefore, swelling in the legs and varicose veins: they are, in fact, tights that exert a constant massage that favors the natural return of venous blood from the legs to the heart. . These tights have a graduated elasticity: the compression is therefore greater at the ankle, while it tends to decrease as you go up towards the thigh. Elastic stockings differ in various models based on the discomfort that occurs during pregnancy.

I managed another probable symptom.

Gestosis is a disease that can occur only in pregnancy, around the second trimester, but is more frequent as the wait progresses, starting from the 26th week. It manifests itself with a series of symptoms, which do not necessarily appear immediately all together: high blood pressure, widespread swellings that first involve the lower limbs, but then also extend to the hands, arms and face, and finally the presence of proteins in the urine. typically, the ailment disappears on its own after childbirth without leaving any consequences. However, it must be kept under control during pregnancy because it can create problems for both the expectant mother and the development of the fetus.

1 Perform the checks periodically.

2 Avoid gaining too much weight

3 Limit the use of salt at the table.
