Why Prenatal Help Is Important
In order to ensure good health for both you and your baby it is important to be under the care of a health care provider who specializes in prenatal care. You may have pre-existing medical conditions that could worsen during the course of your pregnancy or pose serious threat to your baby. Additionally, there are certain foods, beverages, substances and activities that you must avoid while pregnant aside from necessary prenatal vitamins to take on a daily basis. Your health care provider will also begin taking regular blood and urine tests as a good indicator of how you and your baby are doing. These are usually done during your routine office visits.
