Pregnancy information
Duphaston in pregnancy – indications and effects of the medicinal product
Duphaston is a medicine containing a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone. Indications for its administration include painful periods, irregular cycles or endometriosis. In most cases, however, the drug is administered to maintain pregnancy when a woman's body does not produce enough progesterone and she is diagnosed with a miscarriage. Learn how Duphaston works and whether taking this medicine during pregnancy is completely safe for the expectant mother and the baby.
What does the sex of the child depend on?
The sex of the unborn child can already be determined around the 15th week of pregnancy. But not all parents want to know before the birth whether they will have a son or a daughter. There is a large group of couples who "try" to determine the sex of the little one even before pregnancy. Is this possible? What does the sex of the baby depend on?
First menstruation after birth
Many women wonder when their first menstrual period after childbirth will occur and whether it will be similar to the period before pregnancy. However, there is no clear answer to these questions. Find out whether ovulation after birth always accompanies menstruation and whether breastfeeding is a good way to prevent another pregnancy.
Pets during pregnancy
Pets are found in many households and many people cannot imagine life without them. However, it is worth knowing which animals may pose some risk to the pregnant woman and which are completely harmless. Is a newborn baby and a pet in the household a good combination?
Vitamin D3 during pregnancy
According to the recommendations of gynaecologists and obstetricians, every pregnant woman should take vitamin D3 during pregnancy. This is due to the role it plays in the proper functioning of the body. Find out what doses of vitamin D are recommended during pregnancy.
Fraternal twins
In the common imagination, identical twins and fraternal twins are often associated with multiple pregnancies. In medical terminology, these terms are rarely used. Nevertheless, it is useful to know what fraternal twins are and what such a pregnancy looks like.
Premature birth
When the first trimester is over and the fear of miscarriage subsides, many expectant mothers fear premature birth. It is also feared by gynaecologists, as it is still a very present problem in modern obstetrics. Learn what the most common causes of premature birth are and how to prevent them.
Scar pregnancy
Recently, the number of C-sections performed has increased significantly. This in turn contributes to the development of pregnancies that do not progress normally in the C-section scar. Is it possible to carry a scar pregnancy to term? What are the complications?
Duration of pregnancy
Nine months is an increasingly rarely used term for the duration of pregnancy. The indication of weeks is much more precise. However, not everyone is aware that a relatively small number of pregnancies end on the specified date. The most important thing is that the pregnancy is completed. Learn when it is called a full-term pregnancy and what premature birth means.
