Having a Healthy Baby™
Having a Healthy Baby™ is designed to help a pregnant woman have as safe and comfortable a pregnancy as possible. Timely e-mailings will provide information about the visits a pregnant woman will typically have with a doctor or certified midwife. These mailings will describe both normal and critical pregnancy situations and suggest things a woman should expect and might want to discuss with her health care provider. Specific items you will receive if you register for this program include:
- E-mailings just prior to your regularly scheduled 9, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, and 38 week visits with your healthcare provider.
- Information in each e-mailing on what to expect at your next visit including tests, how your body will change and feel, normal baby development and how to work with your healthcare provider to manage questions and concerns.
- General information on what you can do to take care of your health and that of your baby during pregnancy.
- Information on risks for preterm birth. If any of these apply to you, you can learn what can be done.
- Suggestions for finding other resources such as books, classes and outreach in your community.
Being pregnant can be a wonderful time of your life. It is our goal to help you use the resources available to you so you can get the most out of each visit with your provider.
Every pregnancy is a unique and wondrous event. There is no stronger bond of trust than the one between a baby and his or her mother. While your baby is growing inside you, he or she will depend on you for love, warmth, safety, comfort and nutrition. There is much you can do to help ensure that your baby has the healthiest environment to grow in during your pregnancy.
Having a Healthy Baby™ is here to help you have as safe and comfortable a pregnancy as possible.
