At times, a woman may find herself pregnant while still nursing a small baby and is thoroughly confused as to what to do. She may not have the support or the strength to carry a second pregnancy to term while the first child is still nursing.

The main query which worries most nursing mothers is whether they could continue breastfeeding their infant even while terminating their accidental pregnancy. Before attempting to know this answer satisfactorily, however, it is first important to know the basic facts about both types of abortions so as to be armed with proper information.

Anemia during pregnancy is most commonly caused by an iron deficiency. Being tested for anemia early in your pregnancy is a good idea, but may not be enough, since anemia may still develop as your pregnancy progresses.

Although anemia is caused by an iron deficiency in your body, you will not need to worry too much about your baby, since he will be sure to get as much iron from you as he needs. Your baby will only be in danger of suffering from anemia if the situation is completely ignored.
Anemia should be easily identifiable in the blood tests that you take frequently throughout your pregnancy. The baby will start drawing on your iron reserves much more heavily around week 20, so you may develop anemia later in your pregnancy. Common symptoms of anemia during pregnancy include:

Women, by nature, are more susceptible to becoming stressed. This is because of the many hormonal changes that they go through during their whole lifetime. The fluctuation of the hormonal levels of women consistently occurs during puberty, the menstrual period, gestation or pregnancy, and during menopause. This fluctuation of hormones is known to cause stress. Research shows that women who have strong support from friends and other family members tend to be less stressed as well as happier and healthier. As women tend to get more stressed, being a part of a social network and sharing feelings are very important for them.

As a hypnotherapist I often get asked can hypnosis really help with pain control. This question is usually asked by a pregnant mum to be. More and more women these days are choosing to have their children by caesarian and so avoid the pain of natural labor. I find myself wondering if all these women would still do so if they knew how helpful hypnosis can be in relation to pain control and also how easy it is to learn.

Clinical studies have shown that women in both first and second stages of labor who use hypnosis in preparation for the birth have an easier time than those in a control group. For example in one published study the hypnosis group spent an average time of 6.4 hours in the first stage as opposed to 9.3 hours in the control group, whilst they spent 37 minutes in the second stage as opposed to 50 minutes. In addition to this, the use of analgesic agents was significantly reduced in the hypnotized groups as opposed to the control groups.
