Perinatal Care

Perinatal care refers to the medical care provided to women during pregnancy and shortly after giving birth, typically covering the period from the 20th week of pregnancy to one month after delivery. This care includes regular check-ups, screenings, and support to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby. It aims to monitor any potential risks, manage complications, and promote healthy practices. Effective perinatal care can significantly improve outcomes for mothers and infants by addressing issues such as nutrition, mental health, and education about childbirth and parenting.
