Pregnancy
Signs
The symptoms of pregnancy vary from woman to woman. Some
experience a variety of symptoms and others experience none of the signs
of pregnancy. Missing a period is the most obvious indication, but there
are others which you may, or may not, experience
The early signs of pregnancy include:
• A missed period, or a rather scanty one.
A missed period is usually one of the first indicators of pregnancy
for women. However, some women experience spotting or a light menstrual-like
flow, when implantation occurs (about 10 days after conception). The
bleeding that occurs when the developing embryo becomes implanted
into the uterine wall is lighter and shorter in duration than is menstrual
bleeding.
• Breast Changes (Heaviness and tenderness)
Many women feel an overall tenderness and heaviness of the breasts.
The areola (nipple area) becomes more sensitive, sometimes painfully
sensitive, and darkens. The breasts become more full and the veins
often become more apparent. These changes begin as early as one week
after conception.
• Nausea and sickness, or changing tastes
Most pregnant women become sensitive to certain smell and experience
nausea, vomiting etc. Some develop an aversion to certain things liked
before. The intensity with which women experience morning sickness
varies tremendously. This feeling may persist through the first trimester
or longer.
• Increased frequency of urination
Most women feel like emptying bladder more frequently than usual.
• Fatigue
Fatigue and shortness of breath are common early in pregnancy. You
may feel exhausted at the day's end, even when you haven't done anything
out of the ordinary.

My mother has got a renal mass in her right kidney approx 7cm and what we understood by her reports was that she has tiny multiple cysts in her lower pole, the doctor has told us that it is not malignant and non enhancing, but we have just done a ct scan and blood tests not even any biopsy so how can he be so sure it is not malignant, she seldom gets a lower back painin her right side, we are taking her to another consulting doctor for a second opinion, as to no what should be done, she is also type 2 diabetic |
