The Basics
Enjoy the benefits of prenatal care.
The best benefit of a healthy pregnancy is having a healthy baby. Women who get prenatal care have healthier babies and are less likely to give birth prematurely (before the baby’s due date).
Doctors and midwives can find health problems sooner when they see mothers regularly. Early treatment can cure many problems and prevent others.
Prenatal care can also help you:
- Feel less worried or tired
- Prevent health problems like diabetes and heart disease
