Pregnancy information:
Knowledge for expectant parents
Hair during pregnancy
Women often ask their doctors which hair care and cosmetic procedures are safe during pregnancy. One of the recurring questions is about hair colouring. Is it safe during pregnancy?
Invasive prenatal tests
Modern perinatology makes it possible to make an accurate diagnosis at the very beginning of pregnancy. Invasive prenatal tests aim to determine with almost 100 per cent certainty, among other things, the karyotype of the baby and thus whether or not it has chromosomal defects. Find out what types of invasive tests there are and when they are performed.
SPA during pregnancy
Spa treatments are very popular these days. They are a form of relaxation and a way to spend time. Many women use spas before they become pregnant and wonder if it is safe to do so during the nine months they are expecting a baby. Find out which spa treatments are safe during pregnancy.
Obesity during pregnancy
Obesity is a disease that affects an increasingly large part of the population. Even pregnant women are not spared. Both before and during pregnancy, obesity can lead to complications.
Ovarian cysts in pregnancy
Ovarian cysts affect many women. Most of the time they are not associated with any symptoms and are discovered by chance during an ultrasound examination. The same applies to ovarian cysts during pregnancy. Although they need to be monitored, in most cases they do not affect the course of the pregnancy and birth. Find out what types of cysts there are.
Activated charcoal during pregnancy
Activated charcoal is a widely used product that can be bought at the pharmacy without a prescription. Many people take it when they suffer from diarrhoea. Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
First menstruation after birth
Many women wonder when their first menstrual period after childbirth will occur and whether it will be similar to the period before pregnancy. However, there is no clear answer to these questions. Find out whether ovulation after birth always accompanies menstruation and whether breastfeeding is a good way to prevent another pregnancy.
What does the sex of the child depend on?
The sex of the unborn child can already be determined around the 15th week of pregnancy. But not all parents want to know before the birth whether they will have a son or a daughter. There is a large group of couples who "try" to determine the sex of the little one even before pregnancy. Is this possible? What does the sex of the baby depend on?
Pets during pregnancy
Pets are found in many households and many people cannot imagine life without them. However, it is worth knowing which animals may pose some risk to the pregnant woman and which are completely harmless. Is a newborn baby and a pet in the household a good combination?
