Pregnancy - the physical experience
As your baby grows inside you, your body goes through a massive set
of changes, affecting all your organs and body systems. These changes
are so dramatic and far-reaching that it’s perhaps not surprising
that many have side effects, leading to minor physical problems and
discomforts.
Although these problems are usually described as minor (which in
relative terms they are), they may seem far from it while you are
experiencing them! In most cases, though, there are things that you
can do to relieve the symptoms. Furthermore, most of these minor
problems will disappear within a few weeks (or even days) of giving
birth.
Remember! Do not take any medication or use any alternative
remedies during pregnancy without asking your midwife, doctor or
pharmacist, or qualified alternative practitioner.
