Have you ever been told, “a mother’s health is a reflection of the baby’s health?”
Yes, it is true, which is why it is so important to focus on maternal health during pregnancy.
This article is a part of a series of informational blog articles, focusing on maternal health during pregnancy.
Mothers form a significant part in the lives of their children, families and society. This is why improving maternal health during pregnancy is a critical factor for the foetus’s health and its survival as well as for the mother.
Most pregnant women give their focus on the development and health of their unborn child and ignore theirs. An expectant mother needs regular prenatal visits not only to ensure the health of the child but also their health during and after pregnancy.
Dr Satbir Karwal will advise you on your health when planning to have a child, during your pregnancy and after. It is advisable to have antenatal classes, make a birth plan, and have regular pre and postnatal check-ups.
More related articles as part of this blog series include: what to expect in antenatal classes, how to write a birth plan, your options when giving birth, what to pack in your bag for labour, how to keep a healthy pregnancy and factors to help identify a high-risk pregnancy.
