Prenatal Health

Prenatal health focuses on the well-being of pregnant women and their developing fetuses through adequate nutrition, managing health conditions, and preventing complications. This care aims to reduce birth defects, promote healthy development, and optimize maternal and infant health.

Prenatal health benefits encompass the physiological and psychological well-being of women during pregnancy, aiming to optimize the health of both the mother and the developing fetus. This involves ensuring adequate maternal nutrition to support fetal development, managing pre-existing maternal conditions to prevent pregnancy complications, and preventing new complications like gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. Prenatal care also includes education and support to prepare women for labor, delivery, and subsequent parenthood, contributing to improved maternal and infant health outcomes by reducing the risk of birth defects, promoting healthy fetal growth, and minimizing the risk of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
