Abstract

Diseases in pregnancy are rare, and in most cases the growth and development of the baby does not in the least impair the health of the mother. However, during this dynamic period, numerous and rapid changes occur in the body of the pregnant woman, which inevitably affect her life, daily activities and indirectly affect her loved ones. This paper discusses some illnesses and conditions that can occur in pregnancy.
