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.

Sluggish digestion and iron supplements can cause constipation—and even haemorrhoids.
Leg cramps often strike at night, while swelling—especially in the feet and ankles—is common in the later stages of pregnancy.

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.

Det är viktigt att mödrar äter en hälsosam, balanserad kost i förberedelse för och under amning. Kombinerad amning och flaskmatning under de första veckorna i livet kan minska tillgången på en mammas bröstmjölk och det kan vara svårt att ångra beslutet att inte amma. Om du bestämmer dig för att använda modersmjölksersättning bör du noggrant följa instruktionerna.
