Checklists

Sometimes, a pregnancy does not go a smoothly as planned as well as complications arise. When this happens your health-care provider will be there to give you with additional care, information as well as support. Despite anything to the contrary , it is always helpful to have some additional resources to hand as well as so we have detailed some pregnancy complications below with a basic description.

• Anaemia
  
  During pregnancy the amount of blood in a woman's body increases as well as she will have more red blood cells than when not pregnant. The red blood cells require iron as part of the process used to carry oxygen around the body. If you have less amount than the requirement of iron in the body, anaemia results.


• Gestational Diabetes
  
  Gestational Diabetes is usually discerned by a Glucose Test at approximately 25 - 26 weeks. All the way through the test you will be asked to drink a glucose drink; your blood is taken an hour after that as welol as the sugar levels analysed. If your sugar levels are in the danger zone , you will be asked back for further more conclusive tests.
  
  To make a reduction in your risk of gestational diabetes, keep fit as well as healthy during your pregnancy by regular pregnancy exercise along with a healthy diet.
