Pregnancy information:
Knowledge for expectant parents
Heart rate monitor for home use – is it worth buying?
Heart rate monitors for babies have become increasingly popular in recent years. Parents feel safer when they can hear the heartbeat of the foetus. However, experts' opinions on home heart rate monitors differ. Can they replace a CTG in hospital?
How to check cervical dilation at home
Dilation is an essential part of natural birth. The progress of the birth is determined, among other things, by the dilation of the cervix. Many women wonder when they should go to hospital and whether it is possible to check the dilation at home.
Genetic testing before pregnancy
Many couples start preparing for pregnancy well in advance. Some decide to have a genetic test before pregnancy. Are they necessary for all couples?
Genetic tests during pregnancy
The possibilities of prenatal diagnostics and intrauterine therapy are very broad today. It is often already possible to detect various types of malformations at an early stage of pregnancy and to carry out possible treatment. Non-invasive tests are also becoming increasingly popular.

Weaker perception of foetal movements
The movements of the foetus are usually perceived by the pregnant woman from about the 20th week of pregnancy. Thanks to them, the expectant mother can monitor the activity and well-being of her baby. A weaker perception of the foetal movements is always a cause for concern for the pregnant woman. What could be the reason for this and what is the best thing to do in the event of reduced movement?
Breastfeeding with inverted nipples
Breastfeeding is the WHO recommended way of feeding babies for at least the first 6 months of life. During pregnancy, the breasts change in preparation for breastfeeding. Do inverted nipples or small breasts prevent breastfeeding?
Urogynecological physiotherapy
Women's body awareness is increasing today. Both pre- and post-pregnancy women consult a urogynaecological physiotherapist. What does she or he do? How does such a visit look like?
Blue cheese during pregnancy
