Maternal Health
A new baby brings a lot of changes to a family. It is important for both mom and baby to see their doctor regularly to help them stay healthy. Please visit the links below for more information about how to care for yourself and your baby.
Prenatal
What is Prenatal Care?
Prenatal care is the care you get when you are pregnant. It is important for your health and your baby's health. Let your doctor know right away if you are pregnant or if you think you might be pregnant.
Your doctor will want to see you many times during your pregnancy. It is important that you don't miss any appointments. Your doctor can find problems early, which means problems can be treated earlier. This may prevent you from having other problems later in pregnancy.
Postpartum
What is Postpartum Care?
Taking home a new baby is a very exciting time for many women. However, a new baby can also bring a lot of physical and emotional challenges.
Every woman should see her doctor for a postpartum checkup between 21 and 56 days after giving birth. You should still go to this appointment, even if you are feeling good.
