You:
If you are first time pregnant, stretch marks are a great concern to you. These skin discolorations appear as your uterine muscles contract. Vitamin-E based creams can be massaged at areas around abdomen, breasts, buttocks. Signs of preeclampsia can be felt in this phase. Pre-eclampsia is a situation that a few expectant mothers might encounter. Medically, it is state of significant swelling all over the face and hands, weight gain and continual headaches. Pre-eclampsia can prevent the placenta from receiving enough blood, thus depriving your baby of essential nutrients and lower oxygen levels. Any expecting mother experiencing such symptoms should consult her doctor.
