While pregnancy can be a beautiful journey, let’s be honest—it can also come with some seriously unpleasant symptoms. From relentless nausea to nagging backache, your body is working hard to grow that baby. But take heart: There are tried-and-tested ways to ease many of the toughest pregnancy symptoms. Here’s how to find some much-needed relief.

Pregnancy symptoms may be part of the journey, but you don’t have to simply put up with them. With a bit of planning and some helpful strategies, you can manage the discomfort and focus on the excitement ahead.

Es importante que, en preparación para la lactancia y durante la misma, las madres lleven una dieta saludable y equilibrada. La combinación de lactancia materna y alimentación con biberón en las primeras semanas de vida puede reducir la producción de leche materna y es difícil revertir la decisión de no amamantar. Si decide utilizar fórmula infantil, debe seguir las instrucciones cuidadosamente.
