Question : I have some questions about what to expect during my menstrual period and also in the first month of pregnancy. (1) If I am a little overweight but eating normally, how much weight gain is to be expected in the first 30-40 or days. (2) I am wondering about pimple on my face. Is that a symptom of pms? It could also be pregnancy? if it were related to my period, when would pimples first show? do they go away when? if pregnant, do pimples and acne last longer? (3) I also wonder about hormones changes during first month or two of pregnancy. is it common that early to experience emotional mood changes? thank you for your time.

Brief Answer:
early pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
and 1:- the total weight gain during pregnancy is about 11-14 kgs.
and 2- both pms and pregnancy can cause pimples , however as part of pms they can start about 4-5 days prior, however in pregnancy they are accompanied with melanoma.
ans 3- Due to increased hcg levels, you are bound to experience nausea and vomiting and also belching with bloating sensation due to rising progesterone levels during early pregnancy.
