Pregnancy Care & Delivery

Pregnancy care consists of Pregnancy (before birth) and postpartum (after birth) healthcare for expectant mothers.

It involves treatments and trainings to ensure a healthy prepregnancy, pregnancy, and labor and delivery for mom and baby.

Pregnancy care helps decrease risks during pregnancy and increases the chance of a safe and healthy delivery. Regular Pregnancy visits can help your doctor monitor your pregnancy and identify any problems or complications before they become serious.

Babies born to mothers who lack Pregnancy care have triple the chance of being born at a low birth weight. Newborns with low birth weight are five times more likely to die than those whose mothers received Pregnancy care.

Pregnancy care ideally starts at least three months before you begin trying to conceive. Some healthy habits to follow during this period includ.

1) Quitting smoking and drinking alcohol.

2) Taking folic acid supplements daily (400 to 800 micrograms).

3) Talking to your doctor about your medical conditions, dietary supplements, and any over-the-counter or prescription drugs that you take.

4) Avoiding all contact with toxic substances and chemicals at home or work that could be harmful.
