How are you? hopefully, you are healthy always, this time we will share some information that might be useful for you, especially for the woman who is pregnant, here are some signs to watch out for pregnant women.
1. Excessive nausea and vomiting (hyperemesis gravidarum)
Hyperemesis gravidarum is excessive nausea and vomiting during pregnancy so that interfere with daily work and cause the general condition of pregnant women's body worsened. In fact, nausea and vomiting are common for pregnant women in the first trimester (first 3 months of pregnancy), approximately 6 weeks after the last menstrual period and generally occur for 10 weeks. However, this nausea and vomiting would be a very disturbing problem if it occurs excessively, ie when it is too frequent and severe (cannot eat at all) and lasts longer (sometimes even for nine full months). Persistent nausea and vomiting will lead to dehydration (lack of fluids) and deficiency in mineral content in the body as many body fluids pass through vomit. In addition, hyperemesis can also cause damage to the liver and torn mucous membrane esophagus and stomach (Mallory-Weiss syndrome) resulting in bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. If not treated and handled adequately, hyperemesis can lead to malnutrition and may harm the mother and fetus it contains.

2. Maternal weight does not rise
During pregnancy, pregnant women are expected to gain weight at least 6 kg. This is an indication of fetal growth. The absence of expected weight gain indicates poor nutritional status in pregnant women and indicates a stunted growth of the fetus.
3. Lack of blood (anemia)
Anemia is characterized by weakness, fatigue, lethargy, pallor, dizziness (sometimes dizzy) and often sickly. Anemia or lack of blood is one of the main causes of maternal death. Anemic pregnant women cannot meet the needs of the mother and fetus body of the nutrients and oxygen carried in the blood, so the growth of the fetus is disturbed. At the time of delivery, women suffering from anemia may experience shock due to loss of blood and even at risk of death.

4. A headache, vision, seizures and or coma, high blood pressure
These symptoms can be a sign of preeclampsia. Usually occurs at 20 weeks gestation (end of trimester 2 or in trimester 3) although it can also be found earlier. Preeclampsia may be followed by eclampsia that can be fatal if not treated promptly.
5. Fetal movement is reduced or absent
Since the age of 5 months of pregnancy, the mother should monitor fetal movements. Fetal movement is expected to be felt by the mother 3 times per hour. If the mother feels less than that, indicating the baby is not active, should consult with the midwife or doctor.
6. Maternal disease that affects pregnancy
Some mothers who have a diabetes-like illness (diabetes mellitus), heart disease, anemia, and other diseases that can affect pregnancy, should often control and consult a doctor. This is to minimize the bad consequences that can arise and endanger the mother's and fetus's life. In fact, it is advisable to prepare yourself when planning to get pregnant.

7. Bleeding
Bleeding can occur at any gestational age, and can be a sign of a threatening danger, both to the mother and to the fetus. Bleeding early in pregnancy can be a sign of miscarriage. Bleeding at 4 to 9 months of gestation may show a low placenta in the uterus and may close the birth canal. Bleeding in late pregnancy can be a sign of the placenta apart from the uterus. Severe and persistent bleeding after childbirth can cause the mother to lack blood and is a sign of danger in which the maternity mother should immediately get proper help from the midwife or doctor.
8. premature rupture of membranes (KPD)
Premature rupture of membranes is the release of amniotic fluid from the vagina after 22 weeks of pregnancy. The membranes are ruptured earlier if they occur before delivery takes place. If pregnant women experience premature rupture of membranes, should immediately see a midwife or doctor, because the condition can facilitate the occurrence of infection in the womb that can harm the mother and fetus.
9. High fever
High fever may be caused by infection or other illness. Pregnant women should experience a high fever immediately checked into a doctor to get appropriate treatment related to the fever that happened. High fever that is not handled properly can increase the risk of premature delivery.
