What Are The Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Soon after conception, a woman’s body begins to change so that it may safely accommodate the child during pregnancy. It is these changes that cause early pregnancy symptoms to occur, but most women find that they begin to fell like themselves again by the fourth month or second trimester of pregnancy. At this time, the body has mostly adjusted to the changes and the early pregnancy symptoms are no longer an issue.

Common Early Pregnancy Symptoms
Morning sickness is the most commonsymptom of early pregnancy. Affecting as many as 70% of expectant mothers, morning sickness is not generally a medical concern unless it begins to affect an otherwise healthy eating pattern. The best way to treat morning sickness is by snacking on a few crackers, eating several small meals throughout the day to avoid having an empty stomach and drinking plenty of liquids.

Constipation is one of the early pregnancy symptoms that effect at least one half of all expectant mothers. While this may occur at anytime during the pregnancy, constipation is believed to be the most troublesome during the first trimester. Eating on a regular schedule and drinking plenty of fluids, along with some type of doctor recommended exercise is the best way to treat constipation.

When it comes to movement, many pregnant women experience dizziness as one of the more common early pregnancy symptoms. Fainting, however, is much less common and is actually quite rare. Slow movements, including standing, sitting and walking, will help to treat dizziness. In addition, drinking plenty of fluids and remaining active in order to promote better blood circulation will help to ease dizziness.

Fatigue, which is the most common of all early pregnancy symptoms, is something that every expectant mother is likely to experience. The best treatment is to get plenty of rest and avoid participating in strenuous activities that would otherwise leave you tired.

It is important to note that if any of these symptoms become severe or have accompanying ailments, you should consult a physician immediately. The information in this article is designed to be used for informational purposes only.

Rebuilding the Right Way in the NBA

In the NBA, impressive feats don’t only happen on the basketball court. As exciting action happen on the court, many remarkable things that decide the success of the team takes place outside of it. There are front offices that are building stuff of legends. The Spurs front office and coaching staff that has been working together for almost two decades now is one of the organizations that are getting lots of accolades for their impressive work.

However, the Spurs organization aren’t the only team worthy of praises. Another front office that has done a wonderful job is the Oklahoma City Thunder front office. The team provides a very good blueprint on how to build a team from scratch, from one of the worst to one of the best. In a league where plenty of teams are stuck in the bottom of the barrel without having shown any signs of improvement for years and years, they are a living example of rebuilding the right way in the NBA.

So how are they doing it?

An Organization with a Plan

The very first thing that every project needs is a plan. The plan for the Thunder was to build through drafts and that was what they did. This meant that they had to go through losing seasons. It was definitely not easy but it worked as the team acquired some topnotch talent along the way.

Even when they already had talented players such as Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, they didn’t rush things. They didn’t suddenly go all in by trading for or signing an expensive player. They kept on slowly adding valuable players and trade assets to the team. This provided players with star-potential to develop into stars. The players that fit well along the stars stayed and those that didn’t got traded. It was a continuous process that built the team that they are right now.

Creating a Culture

Aside from creating and following on a plan, another key thing that is common to all successful teams right now is having a good culture within the team. A good culture is something that encourages every player on the team to be his best. It is no surprise that teams known for their camaraderie such as Miami Heat, Thunder, Spurs and the Indiana Pacers are also the top teams right now. To further prove the point, the talented yet dysfunctional Lakers team struggled the entire last season.

Kobe is Still Good

After the ACL tear, an injury that has ended or greatly affected careers of athletes, many basketball fans wondered if we will ever get to see Kobe Bryant play as good as he was before. Even before the season started, many were awaiting for his return to see the answer for themselves.

Now, Kobe has already played two games. The first one was against the Toronto Raptors and the second against the Phoenix Suns. Both games resulted to losses, which is a bummer for Lakers fans. However, the games also showed positive signs regarding Kobe’s return. Although he’s really fully there, there is no doubt that he’ll be just as good before the injury. Here are two reasons why.

Medical Advancements

Unlike a decade or so ago when ACL injury was a death sentence to a basketball career, advancements in the medical field has led to athletes recovering better and quicker from such injuries. A perfect example of a player that has recovered from an torn ACL and was able to recover and play as well as before the injury is David West who has been a very important piece for the Indiana Pacers. Another one is Jamal Crawford who if you watch play today, you won’t ever thing that he suffered from a serious injury.

Anyways, I find West as the best example in this one because of…

Fundamentals

West as a player relies on his mastery of fundamental basketball skills to be effective on the court. He’s not an explosive player but he gets the job done in his own way. Although often overlooked due to the athleticism he displayed in his younger years, fundamentals is also a thing of Kobe. That is why he has been very effective even now. His footwork and body control is as good as it gets. While he may not be as explosive as he was pre-injury, he still has the tools and the smarts to adjust his game to be effective.
