Your body has a great deal to do during pregnancy. Sometimes the changes taking place will cause irritation or discomfort, and on occasions they may seem quite alarming. There is rarely any need for alarm but you should mention anything that is worrying you to your maternity team.

The NHS website offers effective advice and guidance for pregnancy-specific conditions such as heartburn, backache and pelvic pain.
