Pregnancy complications videos

Overview

During graviditeten, it is common to experience things like pelvic pain, back pain, high blood pressure (such as pre-eclampsia), and in some cases, rarer issues like molar pregnancy.

Pre-eclampsia is a complication that usually happens later in pregnancy and causes high blood pressure. It can lead to serious problems if it is not monitored and treated.

Mild pelvic pain during pregnancy is quite common as your body changes, but if it’s severe, constant, or affecting your daily activities, you should see a healthcare professional.

Back pain during pregnancy is usually caused by the extra weight, hormonal changes, and your posture shifting as your bump grows. Whilst some discomfort is totally normal, severe or persistent pain should be checked out.

A molar pregnancy is a rare condition where abnormal tissue grows inside the womb instead of a normal baby.
