Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month
Shining a light for moms and families, on Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. in every time zone across the world, a wave of candle light will honor Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day to “remember our babies.” On that day and throughout Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month in October, Clinic Sofia offers support and resources for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage, loss of an infant, stillbirth or ectopic pregnancy.
Pregnancy Symptoms & Wellness
Pregnancy can cause changes in your body that may cause discomfort both before and after delivery. We can help you find remedies to pregnancy symptoms and first signs such as morning sickness, joint pain, insomnia, headaches, and constipation. Clinic Sofia anticipates that your pregnancy will be a positive experience, so we are here for you.
Trimester 1
The first trimester encompasses conception through week 12 of your pregnancy. During this stage, your caregivers offer comprehensive prenatal counseling information, non-invasive genetic screening and diagnostic testing.
Trimester 2
Many women have described the second trimester, encompassing weeks 13–27 of the pregnancy, as the easiest. This is usually when you will probably have an ultrasound to determine your baby’s development and you may also check gender.
Trimester 3
The third trimester is week 28 through birth. You will prepare for labor, delivery, and taking your newborn home for the first time. This is when you may tour and register for the hospital and find a physician for your baby.
Postpartum Care
Once your baby has arrived, you may feel a swing of emotions and wonder about your new postpartum body. Caring for your infant is rewarding, but not always easy, which often makes it harder to take care of yourself. Clinic Sofia wants to help you understand how to care for the emotional and physical changes that happen after the birth of your child.
