Oh Baby!

Did you know that without prenatal care, babies are 3 times more likely to be born too small? They are also 5 times more likely to die than babies whose mothers get regular prenatal care.

If you are pregnant, itʼs important to get early and regular prenatal care. It can help keep you and your baby healthy. You will get your weight, blood pressure and urine checked at each visit. You will listen to your babyʼs heartbeat. You will have tests to catch problems early.

Start seeing your provider as soon as you are pregnant. Have your first visit before your 12th week. Then, go monthly for the first 6 months. Go every 2 weeks for months 7 and 8. For the last month, see your provider every week.
