Pregnancy

In pregnancy, the center of gravity shifts due to the growth of the belly, and we may notice a certain clumsiness and forgetfulness, which can favor small "stumbles".

One of the most frequently asked questions when taking a negative pregnancy test is, is this result reliable? Could it give me a negative result even when I am pregnant?

When I am asked what the happiest day of my life has been, my mind automatically transports me to that moment when the two lines appeared on the pregnancy test. After a long time trying to get pregnant, many ovulation tests, many gray days, many tests and many tears of frustration, the miracle happened. Never in my life had I felt such fullness and the sense of fulfilling a dream in such a palpable way... even months before it materialized with the arrival of my daughter.

As the pregnant belly grows in size and gains weight, especially from the second half of pregnancy, many women begin to experience pain and discomfort in the lower back and pelvic area.

According to the Spanish Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SEGO), in the summer vaginal infections increase by 50 percent and account for a third of visits to the gynecologist.

Pregnancy is a unique stage in a woman's life, characterized by a total transformation of mind and body. At this stage, it is normal to have hundreds of doubts -especially if you are a first-timer- and as in any new situation in life, to make some mistakes.

During pregnancy it is important to pay more attention to the care of teeth and gums, since the bacterial flora is modified by the action of pregnancy hormones, increasing the risk of oral problems. Among the most common at this stage are inflamed gums, gingivitis, cavities and increased tooth sensitivity.

We know that the most viable way to know for sure if we are expecting a baby is to take a pregnancy test. However, it is possible that we can be almost sure (or at least suspect) that a baby is on the way even before doing it, paying attention to the symptoms of our body.
