Pregnancy Care
Description
Before modern medicine, many mothers and their babies did not survive pregnancy and childbirth. Today, good prenatal care can significantly improve the quality of the pregnancy and the outcome for the baby and mother. Good prenatal care includes good nutrition and health habits before and during pregnancy, frequent prenatal exams, routine ultrasounds to detect problems with the baby, and routine screenings. The goals of prenatal care are to monitor both the mother and baby throughout the pregnancy, look for changes that may lead to a high-risk pregnancy, explain nutritional requirements during and after pregnancy, explain activity recommendations or restrictions, discuss common pregnancy complaints, and give support to the pregnant woman and her family.
