Illnesses during pregnancy:
Causes, symptoms & help
Cervical suture (cervical cerclage)
Cervical suturing is a recognised method of preventing premature births. By placing a circular suture over the cervix, the duration of pregnancy can be extended, reducing the risk of complications associated with premature birth in the baby. Find out more about the indications for a cervical suture and how it is used.
Diastasis of the symphysis pubis
Pregnancy is a time of many changes in the expectant mother's body. In addition to creating the best possible conditions for the child's development, the body is also preparing for the birth. One of the symptoms of this is the stretching of the pubic symphysis, which usually occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. Find out more about the symptoms and treatment of diastasis of the symphysis pubis.
HELLP syndrome – what it is, symptoms, treatment
HELLP syndrome is one of the most dangerous complications that can occur during pregnancy. The symptoms are atypical, so a gynaecologist should be consulted for any worrying symptom. Find out about the treatment of HELLP syndrome.
Couvade syndrome
During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes numerous changes aimed at creating the best possible conditions for the development of the foetus. One very interesting phenomenon, however, is the over-emphasis on pregnancy by the expectant mother's partner. In addition to the emotional attachment, there are symptoms in the form of an enlarged abdomen or morning sickness. These symptoms are known as Couvade syndrome. Find out what the symptoms are and how it is treated.
Liver diseases during pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time when specific conditions can develop for this period. Sometimes expectant mothers have problems with the liver and its normal function during pregnancy. Find out about the most common liver conditions during pregnancy and how they are treated.
Anaemia of the foetus – where does it come from?
During the ultrasound examination, the gynaecologist not only assesses the growth of the foetus and its anatomy, but also measures the blood flow in various vessels. Abnormal flow in the middle cerebral artery can indicate fetal anaemia. Where does it come from and what are its consequences?
Increased vomiting during pregnancy
Nausea is one of the first symptoms of pregnancy for many women. However, more than 1% of mothers-to-be experience much more severe, increased vomiting during pregnancy. Learn how to prevent and treat this condition.
Heart problems during pregnancy
A well-functioning cardiovascular system in a pregnant woman is essential for the proper development of the foetus. Although the cardiovascular system undergoes many physiological changes during pregnancy, abnormalities can also occur during this time. What are the most common cardiovascular problems in pregnancy?
Cramps during pregnancy
Pregnancy cramps do not only occur at the time of delivery. For many expectant mothers they occur much earlier. It is useful to know the differences between contractions before pregnancy and contractions during pregnancy. When should you go to hospital?
