Moms-To-Be

Midwives believe that a healthy body and mind is essential for all moms-to-be. But, even with advances in science and medicine, the basic requirements for health during pregnancy haven't changed much over the years.

Pregnant women still need to eat healthy, get regular check-ups, stop smoking, eliminate alcohol, exercise often, seek advice before taking prescription or over the counter medications, and avoid dangerous drugs and infections.

The kinds of decisions you make with your midwife regarding prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum care can help facilitate a healthy and happy start for you and your baby.
 The Share with Women series from the Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health has great pregnancy advice.
