What are the common discomforts and how can they be managed?
Common discomforts include abdominal pain, back pain, and gastrointestinal issues like constipation and heartburn. Nurses can provide education on proper posture, gentle exercises, and appropriate dietary adjustments to manage these discomforts. For instance, teaching pregnant women about the importance of a high-fiber diet and adequate hydration can help alleviate constipation.
