Pregnancy complaints
Nausea, back and pelvic pain, heartburn, swollen legs and tiredness are common in pregnancy and usually harmless. For treatment: only use methods and remedies suitable in pregnancy, and always in agreement with your gynaecologist or midwife.

Therascout does not diagnose. Have new, severe or persistent complaints checked by a doctor.
Choose therapists with experience in pregnancy and inform your gynaecologist or midwife.
When to get help straight away
Contact your gynaecologist, midwife or hospital at once if:
- Vaginal bleeding
- Severe abdominal pain
- Sudden swelling of the face or hands, severe headache or vision problems
- Your waters break or the baby moves less
- You cannot keep fluids down, or you have a fever
In an emergency: 144
What you can do yourself
Against nausea
Small, frequent meals and enough fluids. Ginger may help.
Exercise suitably
Pregnancy exercise classes, swimming or walking relieve the back and pelvis.
Raise your legs
With swollen legs, put them up often and walk rather than stand.
Your first point of contact: the midwife
She supports pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period and knows which treatment fits now.
