Pregnancy, especially desired, gives joy and pleasant experiences to any woman. But, probably, each future mom is afraid of toxicosis which is her "right" satellite. The word "toxicosis" means for many people only draft on salty and emergence of such symptoms as nausea and vomiting.
In medical understanding toxicoses (other name - gestoses) is a group of the pathological changes in an organism of the woman arising in communication by emergence and development of a fruit. Gestoses are characterized by various symptoms complicating the course of pregnancy and stop after the termination of the birth of the baby. The most common symptoms of toxicoses, besides nausea and vomiting, are morning indispositions, dizziness, excessive accumulation of saliva, tachycardia and pulse. Early toxicoses occur practically in the most part of women and last from first weeks and until the end of the first trimester of pregnancy. In the mechanism of appearance of gestoses an important role is played by the hormones produced by a placenta, and influencing processes of a metabolism at a fruit and future mom. At the same time nervous system and internals of the pregnant woman begin to react to these changes by toxicosis symptoms. Theories of developing of toxicoses a little. The most popular and reasonable of them – neuroreflex. According to this theory, in subcrustal structures where there is a formation of the majority of protective reflexes, in the course of pregnancy there is an activization of processes of activity. In a subcortex, for example, there is an emetic center and also the olfactory zones participating in management of internals, in particular a stomach, heart, lungs, salivary glands. From here and increase of pulse, plentiful salivation, gastrointestinal manifestations at pregnant women. But whatever mechanism of appearance of toxicoses was, undoubtedly, one: the organism of the pregnant woman behaves so that to take out and keep the new life which appeared inside. Having understood it, it will be easier to accept and cope with manifestations of toxicoses. At symptoms of the early toxicosis proceeding benign the vomiting happens no more than 3-5 times a day. These days it is necessary to supply an organism with enough liquid in the form of soups, broths, fruit and vegetable juice, milk drinks. If attacks of nausea and vomiting rise more than 15 times a day, it is possible to speak about developing of heavy toxicosis of the first trimester. In this case consultation of the doctor is necessary. It is better to eat throughout all time fractionally and often. It is better to observe 5-6 single meal a day. Diversify the menu, include in it vegetables, fruit, fermented milk products, cottage cheese. After each consumption of food it is desirable to rinse a mouth with the refreshing liquid. Previously consult and get the corresponding advice at the stomatologist. Toxicoses in late terms, in the third trimester of pregnancy are more serious complications. They can be followed by increase in arterial blood pressure, appearance of hypostases standing, at urine there can be a protein. In such cases constant visits and observations at the doctor conducting pregnancy are obligatory. Pregnant women need to watch an increase in weight. It averages 10-15 kg in all 9 months. Early toxicoses benign can be followed by insignificant loss in weight – up to 3-5 kg, but upon termination of their manifestations, weight will begin to increase. At more severe forms, pregnant women can lose about 5-8 kg therefore weight control has to take place under strict observation of the doctor.
