Preparing for the birth of a child can be one of life’s great experiences. It’s best to start preparing before pregnancy. If that is not possible, a woman still has about nine months to prepare during pregnancy. The key is taking good care of her health. It will help ensure a healthy pregnancy — from embryo, to fetus, to the birth of her child. The healthier a woman is, the stronger she and her child are likely to be.
It is important to see a clinician regularly for prenatal visits to help ensure a healthy pregnancy. Women who receive prenatal care are less likely to have serious problems related to pregnancy. And babies are much more likely to be born at a healthy birth weight if their mothers received adequate prenatal care.
