Pregnancy

Pregnancy can be a wonderful time- you have that pregnancy glow, longer, fuller hair, and people smile at you for no other reason than being pregnant, but in the privacy of your own home you are battling constipation, hemorrhoids, back ache, pelvic pain, and heartburn. These conditions are termed “the common discomforts of pregnancy.” Below you will find why these conditions are so common and what you can do to prevent and manage these aches and pains.

Pregnancy is such an exciting time for most of us. But sometimes bleeding can complicate a pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, or first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Bleeding in the first trimester is usually no cause for alarm and occurs in about 20% of women. But it is important to know the possible causes and get checked out to make sure you and your baby are healthy.
