A new website launched by the Pregnancy Health Centre is aiming to help pregnant women by offering them information about pregnancy health, fertility health, and women's health.

Cecil Horwitz, owner of the Pregnancy Health website said: "The Pregnancy Health website gives women the opportunity to make informed decisions about how to manage their health."

Women that are trying to conceive will also be able to get information on topics such as the benefits of acupuncture for fertility.

Pregnant women experiencing conditions such as pain, morning sickness, fatigue and depression will also find the site beneficial as it includes information on the different measures that can be taken to improve their condition.

Visitors to the site can also sign up to receive regular updates relating to women's health and get their questions answered by Mr Horowitz, a practicing acupuncturist specialisng in acupuncture obstetrics, gynaecology and reproductive medicine.

Earlier this month, a new programme aimed at helping first-time mothers through their pregnancies was launched through the Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service, Australia, the Washington Post reported.
