Pregnancy Care, Precautions & Risks | Special Interview

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it is also a period of remarkable physical, hormonal and metabolic changes—and knowing what is normal versus what needs medical attention can make all the difference.In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mangala Devi K R about pregnancy care, precautions and the risks that expecting mothers should be aware of. From the importance of pre-conception care and folic acid to gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, nutrition and fetal development, we explore what women and families should know before and during pregnancy. We also discuss the fascinating role of the placenta, why pregnancy can act as a “metabolic stress test” for a woman's long-term health, which common pregnancy symptoms are normal, and the warning signs that should never be ignored.And what about the foods pregnant women are often told to avoid? We separate science from pregnancy myths and talk about papaya, pineapple, sesame, caffeine, spicy food and seafood.A conversation designed to replace fear with informed care—and help expecting mothers understand when to simply enjoy the journey and when to seek medical attention.Guest: Dr. Mangala Devi K R#PregnancyCare #MaternalHealth #WomensHealth #HealthyPregnancy #TALRadio
