Pregnancy

Expecting mothers have a lot to worry about during pregnancy, but knowing what symptoms should be taken seriously and which ones can be ignored is important. Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey that entails physical and emotional challenges.

Giving birth can be a nerve-wracking experience, especially if it’s your first time. Sometimes, a C-section may be necessary due to medical reasons or complications during delivery.

Pregnancy can be an exciting but overwhelming experience for mothers-to-be, especially if it’s their first time. A doula can be a valuable addition to your birth team to provide emotional and physical support throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond.

Sleeping is an important part of our lives. The duration and quality of sleep affect our mental and physical development. Since it is an important factor influencing the body’s normal functioning, it is also associated with healthy fetal growth and development during pregnancy. We spend around one-third of our life asleep, yet the attention given to sleeping positions during pregnancy tends to be inadequate. Improper sleeping positions can lead to stillbirth and low body weight of the baby.

Chorioamnionitis is known as inflammation or an infection around the layers of the developing baby. This intrauterine inflammation triggers 40%−70% of premature deliveries, putting both the mother and her fetus at risk of serious complications.

The period between week 13 and week 28 is the second trimester of pregnancy. Though the mother slowly comes out of the regular nauseous feeling, the second trimester brings other physical changes that may vary from person to person. One such physical symptom is contractions. A contraction occurs when the uterine muscles tighten up like a clenched fist and relax. These false contractions occurring before true labor are called Braxton Hicks contractions.

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has been a global concern since its emergence in December 2019, particularly due to its high contagion rate and associated mortality and morbidity.

Pregnancy is an exciting and fulfilling time for many women, but it can also come with various physical and emotional changes.

Pregnancy is a unique phase during which a mother undergoes several mental and physiological changes. The changes may be due to the circulation of hormones, immune response (the ability of the body to fight against disease), metabolism, and blood supply, and some symptoms generally indicate these changes.
