At Sierra Midwifery Services, one of our services is Prenatal Care. We usually begin between nine and twelve weeks, or whenever the expecting mother has contacted us. Prenatal visits are scheduled every month until the seventh month, at which time they increase to every other week. At thirty six weeks (roughly the ninth month), I visit clients in their home to make sure that everything is prepared for the birth and that I know how to get to their home. Visits are scheduled weekly thereafter until the woman begins labor.
I believe what a pregnant woman does every day for herself and her baby is the heart of prenatal care. I suggest that women eat whole foods, building meals around protein and adding fruits, vegetable, and whole grains. Women also need to drink lots of water and exercise three to four times per week. And last, but not least, pregnant mothers need to have happy thoughts and enjoy their pregnancies. How often in our lives do we get to make a baby?
