Pregnant

Dietary advice for pregnant women

When you are pregnant, your bloodstream is connected to the baby's through the placenta. This means that what you eat and drink when you are pregnant is transferred to the child you are carrying in your belly.

Folate/ folic acid before and during pregnancy

Supplementation of folate (folic acid) is recommended for all women who are trying to become pregnant or who are pregnant in the first trimester (up to the 12th week of pregnancy).

Hemorrhoids during pregnancy and after childbirth

Hemorrhoids can occur during pregnancy and after childbirth. Hemorrhoids are harmless, but can be very bothersome and painful.

Positive pregnancy test

A positive pregnancy test is often associated with a lot of emotions and expectations. How do you know that a pregnancy test is positive, and how certain is the result?

Stretch marks

Stretch marks occur when the skin is exposed to rapid weight gain and stretching. This is very common during pregnancy and puberty. During pregnancy, up to 90 percent of pregnant women get stretch marks.
