Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urinary frequency, breast tenderness, and cravings are common discomforts during the first trimester of pregnancy. Urinary frequency occurs due to hormonal changes and the growing uterus pressing on the bladder. Breast tenderness is caused by hormonal changes preparing the body for breastfeeding. Cravings are also common due to hormonal changes affecting the sense of taste and smell. Backache and leg cramps are more commonly associated with the second and third trimesters when the growing fetus puts more strain on the body.
