6 Weeks Pregnant

Frequent urination

Your body may not yet have changed on the outside, but you’ll be reminded you’re 6 weeks pregnant every time you feel queasy or bloated or dive head-first into your sixth grapefruit of the day — funny, because you never craved grapefruit before.

Another clue? You’re in the bathroom more than you’re out of it. Frequent urination is a symptom no pregnant woman enjoys, especially when it breaks up the sleep you really need right now, but it’s one of the most common symptoms of pregnancy, especially early on.

Why? For one thing, the pregnancy hormone hCG is causing an increase of blood flow to your pelvic area — good for increased sexual pleasure, not so good when you’re one hour into a two-hour movie at the theater.

What’s more, your kidneys are becoming more efficient at ridding your body of waste. Add to that the fact that your growing uterus is beginning to push down on your bladder, leaving less storage space for urine, and you’ve got a perfect (pee) storm. Luckily, this pressure is often relieved once the uterus rises into the abdominal cavity in the second trimester.

Here’s a quick tip: Lean forward when you pee to ensure that your bladder is completely emptied each time. Then, when you think you’re done, pee again. This way, you might need fewer trips to the bathroom. But don’t be tempted to cut back on liquids — your body needs a steady supply of fluids.

Heartburn and indigestion

Here’s the not-so-great news — the chances of getting through the next nine months heartburn-free are nearly zero. That’s because the band of muscle at the top of the stomach that usually prevents digestive juices from backing up relaxes.

But here’s better news: You can minimize the symptoms if you avoid foods like citruses and tomatoes — and yes, that includes pizza and pasta sauce — steer clear of greasy and spicy foods, don’t rush through your meals and avoid clothes that constrict your belly. It’s also a good idea to finish dinner at least four hours before going to bed and keeping your head elevated on a pillow while you sleep.
