How is pregnancy?

How is pregnancy going - a rhetorical question, since it can be answered by either the attending physician or the pregnant woman herself. Much depends on what kind of pregnancy it is, how the previous ones ended, if any, from the age and state of health of the future parents. Therefore, it is rather difficult to forecast anything in this case. However, it is still possible to identify certain features and risk factors.

In this article we will talk about the most probable development of the second and third pregnancies, provided that the previous ones ended in a successful delivery.

How is the second and third pregnancies?

Most families approach the issue of the birth of the second or third child consciously. Being confident in her abilities, both physical and material, a woman treats things much easier. Internal harmony and positive attitude are beneficial for the well-being of the future mother and her baby. That is why the second and third pregnancy, as a rule, occurs without toxemia and other characteristic symptoms of hormonal adjustment. But even if some signs in the form of morning sickness, weakness and drowsiness, tenderness of the breasts still appear, then the woman who is repeatedly born, knowing how the first and subsequent months of pregnancy is going on, can quickly take the necessary measures to ease her condition.

However, repeated pregnancy and childbirth nevertheless involve some risks and problems:

  1. In particular, chronic diseases such as endomyometritis, myoma, endometriosis, hidden infections, diseases of the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract and many others can become complicating factors of pregnancy. It is to be expected that during the period of gestation, the existing chronic diseases will recall themselves.
  2. In addition, there is another reason why gynecologists are very closely watching how a repeated pregnancy occurs as a boy or girl - this is the age of the mother and father approaching 35-45 years. Since the probability of the presence of congenital malformations of the fetus in parents of this age category increases severalfold.
  3. Another danger that lies in wait for a mating woman is varicose veins associated with increased exercise and blood circulation disorders.
  4. Reducing the amount of hemoglobin - a condition inherent in all pregnant women, especially those who found themselves in an interesting position not in the first.
  5. Also, during the second and third pregnancies, the pregnant woman may be troubled by low back pain caused by a strong stretching of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall and displacement of the center of gravity.
  6. In women with Rh-negative blood with each subsequent pregnancy, the risk of developing Rh-conflict increases .
  7. The low location of the placenta, which is accompanied by bleeding, is another common problem with women who are repeatedly born.
