Pregnancy Health

If you are now pregnant (or are trying to get pregnant), prenatal care in pregnancy, with special attention on your health, is of utmost importance.  

Find out more about how to prepare your body for pregnancy and about how to stay healthy once pregnant.  For example, did you know that you not only need to take folic acid while pregnant--you should really start to take this and a full prenatal vitamin prior to pregnancy in order to ensure the right health and nutrition for your growing baby?  

Find out more about the importance of folic acid and other nutrients you need for your pregnancy by reading more about how to maintain great pregnancy health.  

Iron is also particularly important during pregnancy. Because of a drastically increased blood volume, iron deficiency is common in pregnant women.

Iron deficiency can cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue, weakness, irregular heartbeat and even irritability. Luckily, iron supplements are an easy addition to your prenatal regimen.

Great post, I just want to add that based on research probiotics has been found to be more than safe. Probiotics are extremely beneficial for pregnancy, a growing baby and postpartum.

O.k. people. Need your help. We've been trying to get pregnant. My last period began October 29th. As of yesterday 11/13/18 I had 2 positive Pregnancy tests!! But just now I saw some brownish discharge. (Never had in my first two pregnancies). I read it could be Implantation Bleeding. Why would I get that? Should I be concerned?
