Pregnancy Side Effects

• Sucking on hard candy can help you deal with the excess saliva common during early pregnancy.
• You may be more congested than usual, but just remember to blow your nose gently to avoid nosebleeds, which often occur during pregnancy because the blood vessels in your nose expand and rupture more easily.
• Many women experience round ligament pain near their abdomens, especially during the second trimester.
• Constipation is a common pregnancy problem as your hormones slow the process of food through your digestive tract.

Pregnancy Spa Treatments

• Avoid saunas and wraps that could raise your core body temperature and put your fetus at risk.
• Lemon and rosewood are two essential oils that are safe to use during pregnancy.
• Make sure you aren't lying flat on your back for any spa treatment after your pregnancy reaches the four-month mark.
• If you're worried about exposing yourself to unnecessary chemicals, many spas offer nail polishes that are toluene, formaldehyde and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) free.
