Mummy symptoms

Hi Mums, my wife is aged 33 & in her 12th week. She is already experiencing, bloating, bad appetite, leg cramps, neck aches, sleepless nights & frequent urination ever since 6th week. Is this normal? When we check with the doc, he says nothing can be done & symptoms differ from people to people. Wanted to bring her for a neck & shoulder massage but many places would not do it. Older folks even told us that I should not give her a massage as we do not know by pressing the wrong nerve, it might cause miscarriages. We are even told, we cannot use heat plaster. I am really at a lost on what we should do. It pains me to be not able to do anything when my wife is complaining. Sometimes, I even ask myself if we should have been more careful. (We however do love kids) Regards, A lost Daddy to be..

Doctor is right, symptoms and severity do differ from person to person. Prenatal massage usually starts only from 2nd trimester onwards but it is usually only a temporary relief. And yes, don't use medicated plasters. You can try to use a heated pad to relieve aches and pains. Compression stockings to reduce water retention (if any). However, if you notice significant water retention, e.g. not bring able to flex joints, bring it to the doctor's notice as it can be symptomatic of pregnancy complications.
