Pregnancy
Congratulations, you`re pregnant! Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also be stressful. Knowing that you are doing all you can to stay healthy during pregnancy and giving your baby a healthy start in life will help you to have peace of mind. Staying pregnant until you are at least thirty-nine weeks is best for your baby, visit your provider if you are pregnant or suspect you`re pregnant. If you need assistance in finding a medical provider, the Perinatal Services Coordinator is available to assist you.
