Prenatal Health

A healthy mother is more likely to have a healthy, full-term baby.

The Prenatal program cares for pregnant women from Montgomery County until they are approximately 36 weeks gestation (about 8 months), dependent upon risk factors and maternal and fetal health issues.  Clients who are deemed to be high risk are transferred to high-risk OB care in the community.  Mothers are able to choose any of the delivering hospitals in the area in which to have their baby.

All pregnant women are encouraged to seek early prenatal care.  Women need to attend prenatal appointments regularly to ensure their health and the health of their unborn baby.
