Prenatal care
Care given to a woman during pregnancy to help ensure the best possible outcome for both mother and baby. Prenatal care should begin as soon as pregnancy is discovered and continue up until delivery. Prenatal visits with your doctor become more frequent as you get closer to delivery.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
