Maternity Care

A pregnant woman may have pre-eclampsia with no signs of the condition, so regular ante-natal check-ups are required to check. More cases of pre-eclampsia occur in first rather than subsequent pregnancies. The only cure is to deliver the baby.  

Morning sickness is one of the early signs of pregnancies. Tell-tale nausea usually starts at week four and for most women finishes by the 14^th week however nausea and vomiting can continue throughout the pregnancy for some. While symptoms are often worse in the morning, some women can feel unwell at any time of the day and suffer from morning sickness all day.
