<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Changes</span></h2>

<li>Morning sickness caused by rapidly increasing hormone levels in the early stages of pregnancy, resulting in nausea and vomiting</li>
<li>Breasts enlarge, become tight and sore</li>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Recommendations</span></h2>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Food</strong></span> Eat normally as before pregnancy as much as possible. For those experiencing nausea and vomiting, food should be soft and easy to digest or various drinks such as sweetened water. Eat small amounts 4 – 6 times a day but only until full. Do not force yourself to eat a certain amount as this increases stress. The key principle is to ensure the body receives sufficient nutrients.</li>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Prenatal care</strong></span> is important to ensure both mother and fetus receive care throughout the 9 months. Doctors will provide advice on how to take care during pregnancy, help diagnose certain diseases during pregnancy, and prevent and reduce complications. In the early stage, doctors will schedule check-ups every 4 weeks until the second trimester, then increase frequency to every 2 weeks and then weekly accordingly.</li>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Vaccination</strong></span> Pregnant women who have never received a tetanus vaccine before will be given 2 doses of tetanus vaccine at least 1 month apart during the 1st – 2nd trimester. Other vaccines are generally not recommended during pregnancy unless necessary and should be considered by a doctor.</li>
<li><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Sexual intercourse during pregnancy</strong></span> There is no prohibition on sexual intercourse except in high-risk cases such as a history of multiple miscarriages or bleeding during pregnancy. Sexual intercourse should be avoided in the first trimester. For those with a history of preterm birth, it should be avoided in the last trimester.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Symptoms that require seeing a doctor</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Severe morning sickness to the point of being unable to eat</li>
<li>Abnormal vaginal bleeding, whether accompanied by abdominal pain or not. Common causes of bleeding at this stage include threatened miscarriage and molar pregnancy</li>
<li>Severe lower abdominal pain in early pregnancy may be caused by threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy (implantation outside the uterus)</li>
<li>Urinary tract infection symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urination with incomplete emptying, blood in urine. These symptoms require prompt medical attention for diagnosis to prevent harm to the mother and fetus</li>
</ul>


Morning sickness occurs due to rapidly increasing hormone levels in the early stages of pregnancy, causing nausea and vomiting, breast enlargement, tenderness, and breast pain.
