Whether you’re expecting your first child or your third, receiving prenatal care during your entire pregnancy results in healthier moms — and healthier babies.
With the Benefit Fund’s free and confidential Prenatal Care Program, you’ll learn about the habits that lead to a healthier pregnancy with fewer complications. Program staff helps you work with your doctor or midwife to prepare for your child’s birth and will also assist you in managing pre-existing conditions such as diabetes and asthma to keep you and your baby strong.
You can attend workshops such as What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Pregnancy 101, and Preparing For Your Due Date. The Prenatal Care Program will also help you work with your doctor to make sure you’re getting the best care during your pregnancy.
