What changes in the fourth week of pregnancy occur in a woman and an entrenched embryo in the uterus, and what should be avoided in this period so that a miscarriage does not happen.
By this period of pregnancy, the embryo has already established itself in the uterus. Now he will develop every week, and the woman will feel the growth of a new life inside herself. Not very pronounced signs and symptoms already indicate pregnancy.
Some of the symptoms and signs of pregnancy at this time are similar to those before menstruation. The woman develops nervousness, fatigue, irritability, taste changes and nausea. The emotional background of a woman often changes, in some women, at 4 weeks, sensations can be more pronounced: tearfulness, moodiness, gratuitous resentment. This indicates that an embryo - the future little man - has settled in a woman's womb.
At 4 weeks, the mammary glands swell, the nipples become sensitive and sore. The reason for this soreness in the breast is hormonal changes in the body.
At this time, abundant discharge of a whitish or transparent color, odorless, may appear. The appearance of these secretions is associated with hormonal changes. Normal discharge at this time is considered to be colorless or white, odorless and with a thick consistency.
Bleeding at this time leads to a miscarriage. It passes without pain, usually a woman does not even realize that she is pregnant and perceives bleeding for menstruation. Many unfavorable factors lead to miscarriage: an infectious disease accompanied by a high fever, increased physical activity and alcohol consumption.
At the 4th week of pregnancy, the test cannot yet determine whether a woman is pregnant or not. A blood test for hCG will definitely give a positive result. Since at this stage, the embryonic membrane releases a large amount of hCG into the blood and the increased level of hCG in the blood confirms the presence of pregnancy.
Quite often, at 4 weeks, the stomach pulls and hurts, these pains are explained by changes in the woman's body. The abdomen can hurt and pull in those women who had painful past menstruation. But do not forget that week 4 is a critical stage. Therefore, pulling pains in the lower abdomen may indicate that the tone of the uterus is increased. Unfortunately, such pains can result in miscarriage or dying pregnancy.
At this time, even a common cold can lead to the fading of pregnancy. But you shouldn't be afraid at all. If there is no high temperature, then just lie down at home for a couple of days and exclude hiking in crowded places. Rinse your nose with salt water, drink warm tea with honey.
