Looking to eat a healthy diet? Youâve probably heard that you shouldnât fill up on empty calories. Many of the packaged foods youâll find at the grocery store contain empty calories. This means they have little nutritional value. Instead, they give your body mostly solid fats and added sugars, which can lead to weight gain and nutritional deficiencies.
Normally you get your period about 4 weeks from the start of your last period, but if you're pregnant, the clearest sign at this point is a missed period. Many women still feel fine at 4 weeks, but others may notice sore breasts, fatigue, frequent urination, and nausea.
Hormonal and physical changes in your body during pregnancy can cause temporary symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux (NCCWCH 2008, NICE 2012) . An increase in the hormone progesterone when youâre pregnant relaxes the smooth muscles of your womb (uterus).
