Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the period of time during which a woman carries a developing embryo or fetus in her uterus, typically for 40 weeks, which culminates in childbirth. Women who are pregnant can experience a range of physical and emotional changes, including morning sickness, fatigue, food cravings, and hormonal fluctuations that can cause mood swings. Prenatal care, proper nutrition, and well-informed lifestyle choices are crucial for ensuring a healthy pregnancy.[1]
