Understanding Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy care, also known as prenatal care, involves regular check-ups and monitoring to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing baby. Proper prenatal care helps to identify and manage potential health issues, provides essential education and support, and prepares expectant parents for childbirth and parenting.
