Because of the multiple hormonal changes that occur during this period, pregnancy is a stage that is always accompanied by a number of symptoms that are difficult for the pregnant woman to bear. Thus, in addition to the many physical changes it causes, pregnancy generally triggers morning sickness in women, which is always very uncomfortable, frequent vomiting, heartburn of varying intensity, pronounced lower back pain or states of drowsiness that sometimes last until childbirth.
