Work and Pregnancy

Many women continue working through their pregnancy without any problems. It depends on the type of work they do and their condition. Here's what you need to know.

Weight Gain During Pregnancy

Average weight gain for women is between 25 and 35 pounds, although slight deviations from this may also be considered normal.

Third Trimester

The third trimester marks the home stretch for your pregnancy. You may feel more uncomfortable now as you continue to gain weight. You also may have false labor contractions (called Braxton-Hicks contractions).

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are infections in any part of the urinary tract. They are a common health problem that affects millions of people each year. Women are especially prone to UTIs.

Chronic Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis is long-term inflammation of the breathing tubes (bronchi). Learn more about this condition, including causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.

Peyronie Disease

Peyronie disease causes hard, flat plaque to form under the skin on the tissue of the penis. The plaque often starts as an inflammation that may develop into scar tissue. It can cause pain and a sharp curve in the penis during erections.

Nutrition During Pregnancy

Not only is eating nutritious food good for you and your baby, it also can ease some of the discomforts of pregnancy. A balanced diet can help minimize symptoms, such as nausea and constipation.
