Prenatal care is the health care you receive if you become pregnant or are planning a pregnancy. Prenatal care is important at every stage of pregnancy, especially early in the pregnancy.
Seeing a health care provider early on (and even before getting pregnant) allows you to know your health status and find any health risks that the pregnancy may cause for you and your developing baby. You will also learn about the "dos and don’ts" of pregnancy to help you and your baby be as healthy as possible.
