A nurse is reinforcing teaching about common discomforts during the first trimester with a client who is at 10 weeks of gestation. Which of the following examples should the nurse include?

A. Leukorrhea is correct. Leukorrhea, a normal increase in vaginal discharge, is a common discomfort during the first trimester of pregnancy. It is typically white or clear and odorless, and is caused by hormonal changes. B. Burning during urination is incorrect. Burning during urination is not a normal discomfort of pregnancy and could indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI), which requires further evaluation and treatment. C. Swelling of the face is incorrect. Swelling, especially of the face, is not typical during the first trimester and could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as preeclampsia, and should be investigated further. D. Diarrhea is incorrect. While gastrointestinal changes can occur during pregnancy, diarrhea is not typically a common discomfort of the first trimester. Constipation, on the other hand, is more common due to hormonal changes that slow down bowel motility.
