Aces & Pains-

During pregnancy, ligaments and tendons throughout your body stretch, both to accommodate the growing baby and to allow the baby out during labor. This can lead to achiness and even pain, particularly in the lower abdomen.

Shortness of Breath-

By the end of your pregnancy, with the baby pressing up against your diaphragm, you may feel as if you can't get enough air. This is called dyspnea, or shortness of breath. It's also a sign to slow down.

Constipation-

Thank those pregnancy hormones again for this symptom. Try to avoid straining, as that can lead to hemorrhoids. Instead, follow basic advice for constipation: Get regular exercise, drink plenty of water and up the fiber in your diet.

Heartburn & Gas-

Blame the crowded space in there for this symptom, which most pregnant women experience in the third trimester. The pressure of the uterus on the stomach, coupled with the relaxation of the valve between the stomach and esophagus, allows stomach acid to reflux into your throat.

Leg Cramps-

You may experience sudden leg cramps, feel that something is crawling on your legs or have an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, particularly at night. This symptom may be caused by low iron or potassium. Stretching your legs before bed and getting regular exercise can help; you might also try adding a potassium-rich banana to your diet.
