The Woman During Pregnancy
|
Possible Problems and Complications In the course of a pregnancy, a woman's body changes in many ways. Some of these changes may be experienced as unsettling or unpleasant. For example, nausea, indigestion, constipation, backaches, cramps, and varicose veins are not uncommon in expectant mothers and may cause some concern. However, these complaints do not indicate serious problems in themselves, but are a normal part of childbearing. Nevertheless, there are some complications that require medical attention. A woman can forestall, alleviate, or at least prepare herself for most of these difficulties by regular visits to her doctor during her pregnancy.
