Heartburn is common in pregnancy because the growing baby pushes the stomach upward and hormones relax the valve that normally keeps acid down.

To reduce it:

• Eat small meals, avoid spicy and oily foods
• Don’t lie down immediately after eating
• Sleep slightly propped up
• Drink water in small sips

If the pain is severe, burning in chest is constant, or you vomit blood — get checked.

Increased appetite is common in pregnancy because your body needs more energy for you and the baby.
You don’t need to starve yourself just manage it in a healthy way.

Here’s what you can do:

• Eat small meals more often instead of large plates
• Choose filling foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, eggs, beans, porridge
• Drink water first when you feel hungry (sometimes it’s thirst)
• Avoid junk snacks and sugary drinks
• Eat slowly so your body knows when you’re full

If you are gaining too much weight too fast or craving non-food items like soil or stones, talk to your midwife.

We advise pregnant women not to wash or insert anything inside the va**na because:

• Soap, antiseptics, or herbs disturb the natural bacteria
• This can cause infections or irritation
• It may lead to itching, discharge, or burning
• It can even increase the risk of problems in pregnancy

The va**na cleans itself.
Just wash the outside with plain water, wear clean cotton underwear, and keep the area dry.

Nosebleeds are quite common in pregnancy because of hormonal changes. They can be frightening, but there's nothing to worry about as long as you don't lose a lot of blood, and they can often be treated at home.
During a nosebleed, blood flows from one or both nostrils.

Meaning of Different Vaginal Discharges in Pregnancy

✅ 1. Clear or White — NORMAL
• Looks watery or milky white
• No bad smell
• No itching or pain

👉 This is normal in pregnancy.
It helps keep the va**na clean and protects the baby from infection.

⚠️ 2. Thick White & Clumpy — POSSIBLE YEAST INFECTION (CANDIDA)
• Looks like cottage cheese or thick porridge
• May itch or burn
• Can cause pain during s*x or when peeing

👉 This needs treatment from a doctor or midwife.
Do not buy or insert medicine on your own.

❌ 3. Yellow or Green — INFECTION
• Bad smell
• May come with itching, burning, or pain
• Sometimes accompanied by lower tummy pain

👉 This may be a s*xually transmitted infection (STI) or another infection.
You need to see a doctor or clinic immediately.

❌ 4. Gray with Fishy Smell — BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS
• Thin & watery
• Strong fish-like smell (especially after s*x)

👉 Needs medical treatment to prevent complications.

🚨 Seek urgent help if discharge is:
• Mixed with blood
• Brown or red
• Very watery like urine
• Comes with severe pain or fever

These may be signs of:
• Miscarriage
• Preterm labour
• Infection
• Broken waters
