maternity care

Maternity care refers to the medical services and support provided to women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It includes regular check-ups, screenings, and counseling to monitor the health of both the mother and the developing baby. Healthcare professionals, such as obstetricians, midwives, and nurses, focus on ensuring a safe pregnancy and delivery, addressing any complications, and promoting overall well-being. After childbirth, maternity care also encompasses support for recovery, breastfeeding assistance, and mental health resources, helping new mothers adapt to the challenges of motherhood. Quality maternity care is essential for both maternal and infant health outcomes.
