Welcome to module 10

This module has been carefully curated to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of various disorders that can affect expectant women during the course of pregnancy. This module will offer valuable insights into the common challenges that can arise during this transformative journey.

Pregnancy is a time of great anticipation and joy, but it can also present certain health challenges. Throughout this module, we will delve into some of the most frequently encountered disorders that can occur during pregnancy. We will explore conditions that might cause discomfort, as well as those that necessitate urgent medical attention.

Our exploration begins with a closer look at common discomforts experienced by pregnant individuals. We will discuss swelling, fatigue, and low iron levels—issues that are often a natural part of the pregnancy process. Understanding these discomforts can provide reassurance and equip you with the knowledge to manage them effectively.

Moving further, we will address disorders that might require urgent medical intervention. These conditions are crucial to recognise early, as prompt medical attention can significantly impact the health and well-being of both the pregnant individual and the developing fetus. We will delve into disorders such as ectopic pregnancy, hyperemesis (severe morning sickness), vaginal bleeding, pre-eclampsia, placenta previa, premature labor, pre-labor rupture of membranes, and cord prolapse. Each of these conditions presents unique challenges and potential risks, making it imperative to understand their signs, symptoms, and necessary actions.

By the end of this module, you will be equipped with the knowledge to identify, understand, and respond appropriately to common disorders that can arise during pregnancy.
