How pregnancy affects your bone health

May is Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month, so now is the perfect time to focus on an often-overlooked aspect of women’s health — maternal bone health.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding put extra demands on your body, including your bones. This can increase your risk of bone loss and osteoporosis later in life.

The good news is that you can take steps — while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding — to protect your bones for the years to come.

Here’s what you need to know about pregnancy, breastfeeding, and maternal bone health, courtesy of our board-certified OB/GYNs and midwives at Westover Hills Women's Health.
