5 Unusual Pregnancy Symptoms

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful stages in a woman's life, and also one of the most toughest. One has to go through myriad experiences during this period of time - some good and heavenly, and some really bad. Pregnancy symptoms, for instance, can give pregnant women a real tough time. There are many obvious signs and symptoms of pregnancy. While nausea, vomiting, backache are common in most women, many moms-to-be also experience some unusual symptoms. Following are some of those off-the-track pregnancy symptoms:

Insomnia or sleeplessness: Feeling extremely tired almost all the time is a common symptom of pregnancy. This may lead to sleeplessness. Many times it also happens, that even if you are not feeling fatigued, you suffer from sleeplessness. Doing regular light exercise, decreasing caffeine intake and relaxing are some of the best ways to treat pregnancy insomnia in a non-medical way.

Nasal Stuffiness and bleeding: Nose bleeds and stuffiness is yet another uncommon symptom of pregnancy. Try natural remedies like snorting salt water or a humidifier to treat these pregnancy symptoms. If that doesn't help, consult your gynecologist for other options.

Frequent burping & gas: Hormones secreted from the placenta and other parts of female reproductive tract send your gastrointestinal tract in a spin. That make you belch and burp in an awkward way more often than ever. Suffering from gas related problems is also one of the not-so-common signs and symptoms of pregnancy. The best way to deal with these problems is to try and avoid offending foods.

Unusual vaginal discharge: Menstruation bleeding stops at the very onset of pregnancy. But if you observe some unusual discharge from your vagina, don't get afraid. This is uncommon but certainly not unhealthy. In fact, this vaginal flow will increase in amount until the baby is born. However, consulting with a doctor is always advised if there is an odor or a change in the fluid color. Do ask your doctor about leukorrhea as well.

Constipation: The most troublesome of all pregnancy symptoms, constipation occurs due to slowing down of inter-intestinal movement by the hormones of pregnancy. Drink plenty of water, eat fiber-rich food, and do brisk walking to avoid this problem.
