Preparing for Pregnancy
Take steps now to prepare for pregnancy — schedule a pre-pregnancy exam with your doctor to ensure you are in optimal health.
Now That You're Pregnant
Good prenatal care is essential for a healthy pregnancy. You can see an OB/GYN, a family doctor, a nurse practitioner, or a certified nurse midwife for care.
Your Growing Baby
For a healthy baby, make wise lifestyle choices during pregnancy: No smoking and no alcohol are two of the most important.
Your Changing Body
The hormones of pregnancy bring on a number of changes, from nausea to fatigue. Your growing, developing baby, too, has a profound effect.
