Heart Palpitations During Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings about many changes in a woman’s body. During pregnancy, as the blood volume in a woman’s body increases, her heart needs to pump faster in order to circulate the extra blood, which sometimes leads to a faster heart rate. If you are pregnant for the first time and notice an increased heart rate or heart palpitations, you are bound to get worried. But this is a very common occurrence during pregnancy - sometimes, the extra exertion on the heart leads to heart palpitations. Read this article to know everything about heart palpitations and how you can effectively manage them during pregnancy.
What Are Heart Palpitations?
Heart palpitations occur due to cardiovascular changes in the body during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the blood volume increases by almost 50 per cent. It increases by 30 to 40 per cent in the second trimester. An increased blood volume results in heart palpitations - a condition where you can prominently feel your heartbeat which beats at a considerably higher rate. You may experience these sensations in your throat or chest. Though most cases of palpitations during early pregnancy are harmless and usually subside on their own, however, sometimes it may be indicative of some underlying medical complication.
Causes of Heart Palpitations in Pregnancy
Various factors can lead to heart palpitations and most of them are not serious. Some of the main causes of heart palpitations are explained below.
1. An Increase in Blood Volume
This is the primary cause of heart palpitations during pregnancy. As mentioned above, there is an increase in the amount of blood in the body during pregnancy. More amount of blood means that the heart has to work extra to pump the extra blood. The increased heart rate is indicative of the fact that your heart is working hard and sending blood to various body parts, including the placenta.
2. Hormonal Changes
Pregnancy increases the level of progesterone in the body. The increased amount of progesterone is also responsible for an increase in the heart rate.
3. Emotional Changes
You may notice or experience yourself battling with various emotions during pregnancy, which is one of the side effects of fluctuating hormonal levels in the body. The stress and anxiety during pregnancy can give rise to the increased heartbeat.
4. Medical Conditions or an Ailment
Sometimes certain health conditions during pregnancy such as thyroid, anaemia, low blood sugar, or other medical conditions may cause heart palpitations. Though heart palpitations are harmless during pregnancy, sometimes they may indicate other medical ailments.
5. Intake of Caffeinated Beverages
A high amount of caffeine in the blood during pregnancy may lead to an increased heart rate. Therefore, if you drink more coffee or tea during pregnancy, your heart rate may increase. This is why most doctors recommend pregnant women to limit their caffeine intake.
Symptoms of Heart Palpitations During Pregnancy
Almost all women experience heart palpitations and shortness of breath during pregnancy. The impact of these heart palpitations is, however, different on different women. Pregnant women may experience one or any combination of the following symptoms.
Excessive or increased heart rate
Breathing difficulty
Light-headedness
A feeling of uneasiness
Sweating
A feeling that the heart is pounding
These are some of the commonly experienced symptoms of heart palpitations.
Diagnosis of Heart Palpitations While Pregnant
If you experience heart palpitations during pregnancy, you should report your symptoms to your doctor. Your doctor will then ask you about your medical history. Your doctor will also inquire if you experienced palpitations before or if any of your close family members experience heart palpitations. Your doctor may ask you to undergo the following tests:
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) to measure the electrical activity of your heart and check for irregular heartbeats.
Blood tests to check conditions like thyroid, anaemia, etc.
Screening or tests if any complications are suspected.
You may be told to wear a Holter monitor that will observe your heart rate for 24 to 48 hours to find out any abnormality. And the electrical activity of your heart may be measured. But this is suggested rarely.
How to Deal With Heart Palpitations
You may experience heart palpitations while resting or while working during pregnancy and no doubt, you will be stressed - and perhaps even worry that something is wrong. But you can manage heart palpitations by taking simple measures. Here are some tips that you may easily adapt to lower the symptoms of heart palpitations during pregnancy:
1. Take Adequate Rest
Heart palpitations should subside if you take enough rest. Make yourself comfortable and lie down on your bed and take a short nap. You will feel better.
2. Stay Hydrated
Pregnancy may make you prone to dehydration, which can trigger an increased heart rate. Therefore, keep yourself well-hydrated by drinking enough water and other liquids and ward off dehydration.
3. Manage Your Emotions
It is very common for any pregnant woman to experience mood swings or to get emotional during pregnancy. This may trigger stress and lead to an increased heart rate. You can practice relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, or other exercises. However, it is advised that you consult your doctor before starting with these relaxation techniques.
4. Avoid Drinking Caffeine
Drinking coffee, tea, and other caffeinated beverages may trigger increased heart rate during pregnancy. So keep the intake of such products to a minimum.
5. Avoid Physical Exertion
Any kind of physical exertion is not recommended during pregnancy. It may not only harm you and your baby but it may also result in an increased heart rate or heart palpitations.
6. Refrain From Taking Stimulant Medicines
Some over-the-counter medicines for common cold and cough may contain stimulants. Stimulant medicines may result in an increased heart rate. Consult your doctor before consuming any such medicine on your own.
7. Identify the Reasons
Apart from certain food items, sometimes some situations may also result in an increased heart rate. Therefore, if you experience heart palpitations regularly in pregnancy, make a diary and track what could be the probable reasons and then avoid doing that activity or eating that food item etc., that may have possibly caused heart palpitations.
8. Take Bath With Cold Water
The best way to control heart palpitations is to by taking a cold water shower. The cold water gets your heart rate to normal and makes you feel better and relaxed.
When Should You Call the Doctor?
As discussed above, heart palpitations in the second trimester or the third trimester is a common phenomenon in pregnancy and there is nothing to feel concerned about. However, if you feel any of the following symptoms (mentioned below) along with heart palpitations, you should seek immediate medical help:
The feeling of dizziness
Shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing
Excessive sweating
Tightness in your chest, arms, or jaw
You feel that you may pass-out or faint
You experience unusual heart palpitations more often
If you register any of the above-mentioned symptoms during pregnancy then it may be due to some underlying condition. It is important that you get a complete check-up done to rule out the concern of any probable complication.

12 Types Of Miscarriage That You Should Know
Miscarriages are unfortunate incidents where the foetus is discarded or lost due to medical or genetic reasons. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, it is important that you educate yourself on this issue. This will help you brace yourself in case a miscarriage occurs and understand that there are solutions available.
What is a Miscarriage?
The loss of a foetus during the early stages of pregnancy is known as a miscarriage. Miscarriage is medically termed as spontaneous abortion and typically occurs before the 20th week of pregnancy (in the first trimester). According to various published studies and reports, around 15 to 25% of clinically recognised pregnancies terminate in a miscarriage. However, a very early miscarriage can also occur before the woman even knows about her pregnancy or before missing her menstrual period.
Miscarriage has the following symptoms, and it is recommended to contact your gynaecologist if you observe any of the below-mentioned signs:
Severe abdominal pain
Cramps
Gradual progression of vaginal bleeding (from light to heavy)
Discharge of tissue with clots
Fever
Back and lower back pain
Unexplained weakness
In most cases, miscarriages take place when the foetus has genetic issues. Other causes include medical conditions like diabetes or thyroid in the mother, hormonal issues, uterine abnormalities or infections. There are also some risk factors that can increase your chances of having a miscarriage. These include smoking, excessive caffeine intake, alcohol consumption, and being underweight or obese.
Different types of Miscarriage
Your doctor will classify your condition after considering your pregnancy stage and the cause of the miscarriage. The different types of miscarriages are as follows:
1. Threatened Miscarriage
Threatened miscarriage is a term used to denote vaginal bleeding that happens during the first trimester of a pregnancy where the cervix remains closed. Apart from vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal cramps and lower back pain are notable symptoms of a threatened miscarriage. Your doctor will perform a detailed examination if you have unexplained bleeding. Please note that this does not mean the pregnancy will terminate with a miscarriage. As per reports, about half the women who face this risk eventually go on to having a healthy pregnancy
2. Inevitable Miscarriage
During early pregnancy, if there is heavy vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal cramps, it is termed as inevitable miscarriage. However, during this type of miscarriage, as opposed to threatened miscarriage, the cervical canal is dilated. This indicates that the body is getting ready to terminate the pregnancy.
3. Complete Miscarriage
A miscarriage in which all the pregnancy tissue is ejected from the uterus is called a complete miscarriage. Also known as complete abortion, this kind of miscarriage is defined by extreme abdominal pain, heavy vaginal bleeding, and expulsion of pregnancy tissue in its entirety. With this kind of miscarriage, the bleeding and pain subside immediately, although an ultrasound test is recommended to confirm if it is a complete miscarriage.
4. Incomplete Miscarriage
Similar to a complete miscarriage, there is heavy bleeding and severe pain during an incomplete miscarriage. Here too, the cervix is open. However, the pregnancy tissue may not be passed entirely, which can be revealed through an ultrasound.
5. Missed Miscarriage
When a foetus dies quite early during pregnancy, and the tissue continues to remain in the mother’s womb, it is known as a missed miscarriage. The woman may feel all the symptoms of pregnancy if the placenta keeps releasing the essential hormones, but with time, all the signs of pregnancy may gradually decrease. The common symptoms of miscarriage may not be visible in some women while others could be subjected to vaginal discharge and cramping.
6. Recurrent Miscarriage
The occurrence of three or more pregnancy losses is defined as recurrent miscarriage. Only a small number of women (reports suggest 1-2 %) have repeated miscarriages, in which case it is best to discuss the issue with the doctor or a specialist for taking necessary action.
7. Blighted Ovum
In this type of miscarriage, a fertilized egg is attached to the uterine wall but does not develop into an embryo. It is also known as an embryonic pregnancy and occurs early during the pregnancy. During blighted ovum, the gestational sac remains empty and needs a dilation and curettage procedure (surgical procedure using an instrument called curette) to have the uterus scraped.
8. Chemical Miscarriage
Although it sounds ominous, this is a very early miscarriage that usually occurs around the 4th or 5th week of pregnancy and happens before the ultrasound scan can detect anything. The sperm fertilises the egg, but the egg is unable to survive any further.
9. First-Trimester Miscarriage
A pregnancy loss that happens during the first trimester (first 12 weeks) of pregnancy is a first-trimester miscarriage. Studies show that around 80% of miscarriages happen around the first trimester and can be identified by vaginal bleeding, lower back cramping and loss of pregnancy symptoms.
10. Second Trimester Miscarriage
The second trimester of your pregnancy begins in the 12th week and ends around the 20th week. Any miscarriage that occurs during this period can be termed as a second-trimester miscarriage. However, this is often unexpected and relatively rare.
11. Ectopic Miscarriage
When the embryo is implanted outside the uterus, an ectopic pregnancy is said to have occurred. Here the foetus usually does not survive. An ectopic miscarriage is preceded by vaginal bleeding and vomiting, in which case, it is best to see the doctor at the earliest.
12. Molar Pregnancy
When the pregnancy tissue develops into an abnormal growth in the uterus instead of growing into a foetus, a molar pregnancy is said to have taken place. It needs immediate attention, and the next step involves surgical removal of the tissue.
The above-mentioned types of miscarriages can occur at different stages of pregnancy and will need expert care and treatment. Coping with it needs one to be emotionally strong, and with support from family and friend it is possible to tide over this difficult period. Discuss this with your doctor to understand more about potential health problems that may have led to the miscarriage, and also get guidance on getting pregnant again. Read more

A Guide to Mouth Care for Babies
Even before your little bundle of joy has developed his first tooth, it is necessary to provide him with proper oral care and gum protection. Gently start with the cleaning of the gums and when the infant has developed his teeth, dental care is a must. Throat examination is also vital to check for soreness, redness and scratchy throats in babies.
Irrespective of the fact, that your baby has grown teeth or not, proper infant oral care is required. Soon after birth, his gum, tongue and soft palate, are properly developed and it is good to clean gums regularly to avoid gum issues. Once he starts developing little bunny teeth, proper and efficient baby dental care is also a major requirement. Keep checking his mouth to spot any bacterial growth and maintain a systematic oral hygiene routine.
Gum Care for Infants
Even before the baby has popped his first tooth, it is a good idea to get into the habit of cleaning his gums regularly. There is nothing much to do and no use of toothpaste or any kind of product is required.
Only a small cloth or gauze dipped in warm water can be used to slightly rub the gums and tongue of the baby. This process may become a little fussy initially, but once the infant gets used to it, it will become easier.
Generally, the bacterium does not harm the mouth before the emergence of teeth, but parents should always be a step ahead and take precautions. Gum diseases such as Gingivitis and Periodontitis can be caused due to poor gum hygiene.
Teething in Babies
When the primary teeth begin appearing through the gums, the baby may feel pain and discomfort. This may lead to fussy behaviour and a grumpy baby. You can help him by gently massaging his gums with a finger or giving him something to chew on like a teething ring kept in the refrigerator. However, if your child has fever and shows any other signs of ailment, consult a doctor.
Tips for Baby’s Dental & Gum Care
The infant’s first teeth usually start to break through the gums after 6 months, and all the primary teeth come between the age of 6 months and three years. As soon as the initial tooth erupts, a soft baby toothbrush and gauze should be used to clean the mouth. Infant teeth should be brushed twice a day with water only or after every feed.
Brushing should be done inside and outside and on the tongue as well to dislodge the bacteria causing bad breath.
The brush should have very soft bristles to avoid causing the soft baby gums any harm.
The toothbrush should be replaced every 2 to 3 months.
After the baby is a year old, a little amount of fluoride toothpaste can be introduced. Just a smear of it on the brush is enough for the babies.
Once the infant is old enough to have any other liquid than milk, water is known to be the best option. Beverages with high sugar content can be a major cause of dental caries and tooth decay, so it is better to avoid them. Also, the baby should ideally start visiting the dentist after his first birthday.
Sucking Habits in Babies
Kids give up the habit of sucking on their own by the age of four to five. If they do so, the shape of their jaw is not affected, but if they continue, for example sucking on the thumb or a pacifier, it can cause problems like:
The top front teeth can slant out.
The bottom front teeth may tilt in.
The alignment of the jaws may be disrupted.
It may also cause the roof of the mouth to narrow from side to side.
It can introduce external bacteria in the mouth and cause infections.
In addition, your child’s sucking habit can be really embarrassing for you too, if it continues even as he gets older. Its best to keep a tab on the sucking habit of your child and distract him from doing it, before he gets too accustomed to it.
Sore Throat in Infants
When infants suffer from a cold, flu, measles, chicken pox and croup, they tend to develop a sore throat or a strep throat. It causes general discomfort, irritability, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, nausea, swollen neck glands, fever, pain in the tonsils and may also lead to a thick and bloody nasal discharge in severe cases. Parents should immediately take the infant to visit a physician.
Keep your baby’s oral health in check right from birth and avoid any teeth or gum related problems. The oral hygiene habits that you instill in him now are going to set him on a right path for his life. Read more

Ways in Which We Can Help Shy Children Cope With Their Shyness
In this article, we will deal with:
Difference between introverted children and shy children
Body language of shy children
The causes of shyness in children
Things to avoid while dealing with shy children/ ways to help children cope with their shyness.
Difference between introverted children and shy children
Most children will exhibit some amount of shyness in an unknown setup, which is ok, but being excessively shy is what causes the problem. In this article, we focus on excessive shyness.
Let us begin by clearing a misconception that most of us as parents have: a shy child is the same as an introverted child. No, a shy child need not be an introverted child, he may be an extrovert, and an introverted child need not be shy. An introvert is a personality, while shyness is an emotion. Introvert children will speak up confidently even around new people, though they may take a longer time to get comfortable than extrovert children. On the contrary, shy children may not be able to make conversations in a new setup at all or may end up conversing with nervousness, timidity, breaking words, or under their breath. Shy children usually become uncomfortable in an unknown environment. Shyness, most of the time, is attached to anxiety or self-consciousness.
For example, let us understand this better: you organize a playdate for your child's friends. An introverted child may prefer to be home alone, away from the noise, or he might come but may interact less than the other social butterflies. He is not fearful of speaking, but he prefers a quieter environment and maybe a smaller group to interact with as it is his nature. A shy child may want to come but may not do so for fear of being around a group of children, fear of making conversations, fear of negative judgments, or interacting in a relatively new environment.
Fear, nervousness, timidity, self-consciousness are the emotions dominant in a shy child. At the same time, preference for alone time and opening up after getting comfortable with people or situations may characterize an introverted child.
Body Language of a Shy Child
Children who exhibit shyness will usually stand with folded hands or cover the expressive parts of their face, like their eyes or their mouth.
They may even hide behind an adult, beneath a blanket, behind a door, or anywhere that they find themselves secured in.
The Causes of Shyness
All children display a certain amount of shyness in new or regular situations, but in some children, it tends to be much more, deterring them from coming out of their shells.
Some of the causes of shyness in children are:
1. External negative situation: Children who've experienced external adverse problems like shaming, exclusion from groups, negative treatments meted out by peers or family members are likely to show traits of shyness as they go along.
2. Parenting Style: Parents who adopt an authoritarian or helicopter parenting style are more likely to push their kids into a shell, causing them to withdraw in overwhelming situations.
3. Fear of failure: The fear of failure or the fear of being looked down upon can also cause children to display shyness in most situations.
4. Parental behaviour: Children who've seen their parents display emotions of shyness tend to model themselves on that behaviour.
Things to Avoid While Dealing With a Shy Child/ Ways in Which We Can Help Our Kids Overcome Their Shyness
Children will seldom know for themselves that they are shy unless they have been told or labelled 'shy'. Hence it's crucial as parents to help children overcome their shyness without negative labeling them or affecting their self-esteem.
Below are a few ways to help children deal with their shyness:
1. Avoid pushing shy children to speak up in public: Allow children their time, pace and space to open up. Pushing shy children will cause them to retreat.
2. Avoid labelling their shyness as arrogance or misbehaviour: Encourage children to be themselves without judging their behaviour or labelling them in public. When we label our kids, we tell their personalities to model themselves around our labels. Negative labelling is the worst that we can do to our kids. If there is anything, we should do for our shy kids, keep silent in public or stand with them.
3. Accepting them as they are: We will be able to support our children only when we accept them as they are and not as we would like them to be.
4. Avoid jumping to help at every instance: As parents, it is our instinct to want to help our kids, but choosing to help them at every instance, without allowing them to explore new areas or to experience failure, will do no good to them, especially in helping them overcome their shyness.
5. Avoid over comforting or overprotecting: When we over comfort or overprotect our children, we send them signals that the situation is daunting, preventing them from wanting to deal with that situation.
6. Avoid silencing them: When shy children speak up, acknowledge and appreciate their views. Encourage them to continue speaking up and putting forth their ideas and opinions. Avoid discouraging them or shutting them up.
7. Appreciate small steps: Appreciate even the tiniest efforts children make to overcome their shyness. Appreciating their little attempts to make eye contact or help someone in need can go a long way in helping children cope with their shyness.
8. Stay with shy children till they get comfortable: Refrain from pushing shy children straight into unknown or unfamiliar situations. Support them till they feel comfortable or find their ground.
9. Practice role-play at home: Teach shy children ways of starting a conversation, replying to general questions, making eye contact and etiquettes while interacting in public to feel more confident to face new situations.
10. Ignore stammering or stuttering: Children who are excessively shy or nervous often tend to stutter while trying to make conversations. In such situations, refrain from completing the sentence for them. A patient ear and an encouraging word can take them a long way in overcoming their fears.
11. Give them examples: Give them your examples or examples of people who were shy and ways they overcame it. Children tend to get encouragement from real-life stories and experiences.
12. Avoid comparisons: Avoid comparing shy children with other more social children. Accept shy children as they are and keep reminding them that they are loved just the way they are. Strong self-esteem and positive reaffirmation is the best medicine for most of a child's emotional needs.
A shy child is no different from an average child, just less social and in need of more encouragement. Shyness is not permanent. Children overcome their shyness when they are supported, loved, appreciated, and encouraged, then pushed, compared, or teased.
If not in our home, let us look around and see if there is a child who exhibits shyness or similar emotions and whom we can encourage and support. After all, every positive difference made in the life of someone creates ripples of positivity and happiness.
Happy parenting!

A. Typically, your bump becomes noticeable during your second trimester. Between 16-20 weeks, your body will start showing your baby's growth. For some women, their bump may not be noticeable until the end of the second trimester and even into the third trimester. The second trimester starts in the fourth month.
