A nurse is providing teaching about self-care to a client who is primigravid and at 9 weeks of gestation. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. "You should increase your daily fluid intake.": Adequate hydration is important during early pregnancy to support maternal blood volume expansion, amniotic fluid production, and overall health. Increasing fluid intake can also help alleviate common symptoms such as constipation and mild nausea. B. "Headaches are expected throughout pregnancy.": While mild headaches can occur, persistent or severe headaches are not considered normal and may indicate complications such as hypertension. Clients should be advised to report significant or recurrent headaches to their provider. C. "You will feel your baby moving within the next month.": Fetal movement, or “quickening,” typically occurs between 16–20 weeks of gestation for primigravid clients, not at 9–10 weeks. Early reassurance should focus on expected developmental milestones for this stage. D. "Hormone shifts often cause severe vomiting.": Mild nausea and vomiting are common in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes, but severe vomiting (hyperemesis gravidarum) is not expected and requires medical evaluation for hydration and nutritional management.
