Headaches are one of the most common discomforts experienced during pregnancy. Headaches may occur at any time during your pregnancy, but they tend to be most common during the first and third trimesters.
During the first trimester, your body experiences a surge of hormones and an increase in blood volume. These two changes can cause more frequent headaches. These headaches may be further aggravated by stress, poor posture or changes in your vision.
Headaches during the third trimester tend to be related more often to poor posture and tension from carrying extra weight.
Headaches during the third trimester may also be caused by a condition called preeclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy. Women with migraine can have aggravated symptoms in first trimester. This is due to excessive pregnancy hormone estrogen
Headache can also be due to sinusitis or excessive eye strain.
Other causes of headaches during pregnancy may involve one or more of the following:
• Lack of sleep
• Low blood sugar
• Dehydration
• Caffeine withdrawal
• Stress (due to many changes)
Tips to avoid headache in Pregnancy
• Sleep at least 8 hrs at night along with a nap in the afternoon
• Avoid stress: worrying about your health, babies health, work, house chores, complications of child birth etc can lead to unnecessary stress and headache. Hence it is more important for you to let yourself tension free.
• Get a massage: gentle calming massage in a dark room can help you relax
• Keep yourself hydrated: drink at least 8 glasses of water in a day. Water is essential for your body function.
• Keep snacking: one of the reasons for headache can be low sugar levels. Hence it is a good idea to have frequent healthy snacks frequently so that your blood sugars are maintained.

It's common to have mood swings during pregnancy because of stress, fatigue, and hormonal changes that affect your levels of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain). Everyone responds to these changes differently. Women may burst into tears, get angry, anxious or depressed for no reason.
Once the body gets used to changes in hormonal levels the emotional roller coaster ride ends.

How can you manage?
• This phase is going to be short lived.
• Positive attitude and strong family support would help her to feel better
• Take it easy. Resist the urge to tackle as many chores as you can before the baby comes. Put yourself at the top of your to-do list instead. After all, pampering yourself is an essential part of taking care of your baby.
• Bond with your partner. Make sure you're spending plenty of time together, and even go on a vacation if you can. Strengthen your connection now, so you can really be there for one another after the baby comes.
• Do something that makes you feel good. Talk it out.
• Manage your stress. Rather than let the frustration in your life build up, find ways to decompress. Get plenty of sleep, eat well, exercise, and have some fun. Identify sources of stress in your life and change what you can, such as trimming your to do list. If you still find that anxiety is creeping in, try taking a pregnancy yoga class, practicing meditation or other relaxation techniques, or consulting a professional counselor.

When to start Breast Feeding?
It’s beneficial to breastfeed your little one very soon after he/she is born. New-borns are typically ready to nurse within the first hour after birth.

Why early breast feeding?
Early breast feeding intensifies mother and child bonding.
Those first feeds nourish your baby, of course, and get you both started in figuring out this new skill and routine of breastfeeding. Other benefits include the following:
• The milk that comes through in the first few days is actually colostrum —a thick, yellow fluid that’s packed with protein and antibodies that support your baby’s growth and development.
• Breastfeeding encourages the release of the hormone oxytocin which may help you bond with your baby, and help you feel more confident about your nurturing abilities.
• This Cuddle hormone oxytocin released will help to contract uterus and prevent excessive bleeding,
• Skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding helps stabilize your baby’s body temperature, heart rate, breathing, and blood sugar levels.

What is colostrum?
In the first few days after delivery, mother produces a small amount of thick yellowish milk called colostrum, which is rich in antibody and white blood cells, which protect against infection and allergy. It acts as a purgative, which clears meconium and helps to prevent jaundice. It is rich in growth factors, which helps intestine to mature and to prevent allergy and intolerance. It is also rich in vitamin A, which prevents vitamin A related eye diseases and reduces the severity of some infections like measles and diarrhoea.
