Pregnancy Care
Overview. Pregnancy care consists of prenatal (before birth) and postpartum (after birth) healthcare for expectant mothers. It involves treatments and trainings to ensure a healthy pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and labor and delivery for mom and baby.
Health & Exercise
Eating a nutritious diet during pregnancy is linked to good brain development and a healthy birth weight, and can reduce the risk of many birth defects. A balanced diet will also reduce the risks of anemia, as well as other unpleasant pregnancy symptoms such as fatigue and morning sickness.
- Reduces back pain.
- Eases constipation.
- May decrease your risk of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and cesarean birth.
- Promotes healthy weight gain during pregnancy.
- Improves your overall fitness and strengthens your heart and blood vessels.
Family Support
- Whether you are the baby’s father, the pregnant woman’s partner or are supporting a single mother-to-be, you have a crucial role in ensuring she gets the pregnancy support she needs.
- Reading books on pregnancy and newborns, and going to antenatal classes are good ways to help you prepare for the baby’s arrival.
- At home, helping with household chores will give the new mum more time to attend to the baby’s needs and to rest.
- Spending one-on-one time with your baby will help establish a bond.
- It is important to look after your baby, yourself and your relationship. If you need extra help or emotional support, start by speaking with your maternal and child health nurse.
