Pregnancy is a wonderful time, but one that inspires lots of questions. The mother’s body undergoes a succession of changes, both hormonal and physical. Even though very often benign, these changes can cause discomfort. Our health care team is available to support, equip and advise you at each stage of your pregnancy. As well, there are several resources available in the pharmacy to ensure the health of you and your baby.
