Planning a Healthy Pregnancy Life Planning Mrs. Hood

Introduction Research has shown that the more prepared a parent is for the arrival of a baby, the less stress they will face during the first few months after the baby’s arrival. The earlier a woman plans for her pregnancy, the more time she will have to prepare and seek the medical attention to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

Introduction Nutrition plays a big part in the success of a pregnancy. Women who are pregnant need more nutrients in their bodies and it is important to know which ones. Along with nutrition there are different activity/personal needs, the need for prenatal medical care and general education about pregnancy, and birthing choices.
