I feel prenatal care is important for healthy development because it’s awesome.
Prenatal care is important for all women and their unborn children. Even if a woman and her baby is perfectly healthy, it’s important that they receive prenatal care just as a way to make sure that everyone remains healthy as the pregnancy progresses and delivery looms. Women need to receive the guidance and reassurance so that they can have the healthiest pregnancy and baby possible.
Prenatal care is important since:
1. This is a very unique period to both Mom and baby. A lot of thing moms do, such as her diet/nutrition intake, exercise, mood, and including prenatal educations can have a great impact on the baby’s health and well being.
2. This is a very unique binding time between mommy and baby. Having a prenatal education system that can allow the mom to interact with the unborn baby must be such a wonderful and exciting exprience.
3. Everyone knows that the best time for a person to pick up a new language is when s/he is a child. I believe same thing with a baby in the woom. s/he might be able to pick up a lot of information. If we can take use of this period and give our babies a head start, it would be a very wonderful thing!
Prenatal care is not only important for the baby, but it’s also important for the health of the mother. Many medical conditions are not diagnosed until pregnancy. It may be the hormone changes that bring some conditions to light. Either way it is a win-win situation.
The importance of prenatal care cannot be emphasized enough. As the public becomes aware of it’s importance through advocacy organizations, I hope that maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality rates will eventually drop. Women without insurance are still eligible through many states for prenatal care because of it’s importance and these women should seek these services out. Lack of insurance is no longer a reason to forgo prenatal care.
Pregnancy IS a normal, natural event and MOST of the time mom and baby are healthy. However, American’s have many lifestyle habits (Type 2 Diabetes is becoming an epidemic) which can affect the health of moms and their unborn babies. Gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension are 2 very serious conditions that require early identification and prompt treatment in order to secure the health of mom and baby.
Preconception care is care sought by a couple or a woman prior to conception. A health care provider will evaluate the health of both parents and determine if pre-existing medical conditions, genetic factors, or lifestyle factors will have a negative impact on the pregnancy thereby warranting closer observation. I highly recommend that any woman thinking about pregnancy seek out an Obstetrician/Midwife/Nurse Practitioner and start conversing with them. The earlier care is sought in a pregnancy, the more positive the outcome will be (whether it be identifying complications or supporting the pregnant woman through a healthy pregnancy)
