Expectant parents recently joined us at Netcare Olivedale Hospital’s pregnancy awareness event, where our maternity experts shared practical advice for moms-to-be on common pregnancy niggles:
🔹Heartburn: Eat small, frequent meals, avoid spicy foods, stay upright after eating.
🔹Leg cramps: Stretch calves before bed, stay hydrated, gentle massages can help.
🔹Back pain: Supportive shoes, posture awareness, and core-strengthening exercises ease strain.
🔹Shortness of breath: Sit or stand upright, practice slow deep breaths, and wear loose clothing.
Knowing what’s normal and when to seek help gives moms-to-be confidence and peace of mind throughout this life-changing journey. 💛
