E-book notices

RULE OF THIS EBOOK: This material was written for three audiences: pregnant women and women trying to conceive, who will find here an understanding of what happens in their own body and in the baby's body; family members, who want to support this journey; and health professionals, who will find doses, forms, formulas and references, within the legal limits of each profession.

Every strategy described here complements prenatal care. Nothing replaces obstetric follow-up, routine tests and vaccines.

All supplementation must be individualized, prescribed by a licensed professional and reported to the obstetrician.

Medications mentioned (such as acetylsalicylic acid, levothyroxine or antiemetics) require a medical prescription exclusively and appear only for context.

Doses and compounded formulas are not guidance for self-medication: they depend on clinical assessment, lab tests and follow-up.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: For pregnant women and families, it is material for understanding, which does not constitute a prescription, diagnosis or individual therapeutic guidance and does not replace prenatal care or a consultation with a legally licensed professional. All supplementation in pregnancy must be individualized, prescribed by a licensed professional and communicated to the obstetrician. No medication in use should be stopped or changed without a decision by the attending physician. Warning signs (bleeding, loss of fluid, severe abdominal pain, severe headache, visual changes, sudden swelling, reduced baby movements) require immediate medical assessment.
