After prenatal tests and infectious risks during pregnancy, in this final chapter we focus on "preventive information", in collaboration with Medisupport - a Swiss network of regional laboratories. Thanks to their medical expertise and our own experience, you'll find valuable advice and information to help you enjoy a happy and stress-free pregnancy.
When we're pregnant, we look forward to soon meeting this little being growing inside us. During 9 months, our body changes enormously, which is why it's vital to take care of it. In this third and final volume (which you can download below), Medisupport gives you information and recommendations on the importance of taking folic acid and vitamin D supplements during pregnancy, taking care of your perineum, avoiding alcohol and cigarettes, and how to detect any thyroid problems or gestational diabetes.
Here you'll find a number of videos explaining the different topics:
