Benefits of Prenatal Care
Prenatal care is the health care you get while you are pregnant. To increase your chances of having a healthy pregnancy, healthy delivery and healthy baby, be sure to:
- Get early prenatal care. If you know you’re pregnant, or think you might be, schedule a visit to your doctor
- Get regular prenatal care. Your doctor will schedule you for many checkups over the course of your pregnancy. Don’t miss any — they are all important.
The benefits of receiving prenatal care are many:
- Prenatal visits will identify any potential health concerns, which can be treated when caught early
- Your doctor will provide specific information about things you should or should not eat during pregnancy
- Prenatal visits will help you track your baby’s development and how well he or she is doing
- You will learn about labor and delivery and understand procedures.
- Early and regular prenatal visits help you and your baby have the care needed to help you deliver a healthy, full-term baby.
- Your doctor can share information on important health issues, such as diet and nutrition, exercise, immunizations, weight gain, and more.
- You will learn about nutrition for your newborn, the benefits of breastfeeding, and injury and illness prevention, as well as monitor for health-compromising conditions.
Prenatal visits will help you prepare for the new emotional challenges of caring for your baby.
