• Yeast Infections: Understanding your risk factors for yeast infections, such as diabetes or antibiotic use, allows for proactive prevention strategies and healthier choices.

• Maternal Anemia: Regular blood tests and dietary adjustments can help prevent maternal anemia, a condition that can significantly impact your pregnancy's health and your baby's development.
• Excessive Menstrual Bleeding: Don't ignore excessively heavy bleeding – early detection and treatment can prevent long-term health problems and improve your quality of life.
