Melasma: pigment changes to the face due to pregnancyIn the later part of pregnancy the uterus takes up much of the abdomen The usual signs and symptoms of pregnancy do not significantly interfere with activities of daily living or pose a health-threat to the mother or baby. However, pregnancy complications can cause other more severe symptoms, such as those associated with anemia. Common signs and symptoms of pregnancy include: * Tiredness * Morning sickness * Constipation * Pelvic girdle pain * Back pain * Braxton Hicks contractions. Occasional, irregular, and often painless contractions that occur several times per day. * Peripheral edema swelling of the lower limbs. Common complaint in advancing pregnancy. Can be caused by inferior vena cava syndrome resulting from compression of the inferior vena cava and pelvic veins by the uterus leading to increased hydrostatic pressure in lower extremities. * Low blood pressure often caused by compression of both the inferior vena cava and the abdominal aorta (aortocaval compression syndrome). * Increased urinary frequency. A common complaint, caused by increased intravascular volume, elevated glomerular filtration rate, and compression of the bladder by the expanding uterus. * Urinary tract infection * Varicose veins. Common complaint caused by relaxation of the venous smooth muscle and increased intravascular pressure. * Hemorrhoids (piles). Swollen veins at or inside the anal area. Caused by impaired venous return, straining associated with constipation, or increased intra-abdominal pressure in later pregnancy. * Regurgitation, heartburn, and nausea. * Stretch marks * Breast tenderness is common during the first trimester, and is more common in women who are pregnant at a young age. * Melasma, also known as the mask of pregnancy, is a discoloration, most often of the face. It usually begins to fade several months after giving birth.
