Prenatal Care Helps Pregnant Moms and Their Babies Stay Healthy All parents want the best for their children, and a healthy pregnancy is a great way to start.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that babies of mothers who do not get prenatal care are three times more likely to have low birth weights and more health complications than babies born to mothers who receive the care. And one of the benefits of being an 1199SEIU member is that if you or your spouse is pregnant, or even if you’re just planning to start a family, you have access to expert prenatal care. Our Prenatal Program helps expectant mothers learn about making healthier choices that can lead to a healthier pregnancy with fewer complications.With the Benefit Fund’s free and confidential Prenatal Program, moms-to-be (and their partners, too) can also attend workshops that cover topics such as Healthy Tips for Your Baby and You, Pregnancy 101 and Preparing for Childbirth.
1199SEIU member Luis Hernandez, a dental assistant at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, attended a prenatal workshop with his wife, Alexsa, as they were preparing to become parents for the first time – and they’re both glad they did. In August, Alexsa gave birth to twins, a healthy boy and girl, and she said the workshop was a great supplement to her doctor’s care.While her doctor had already stressed the importance of maintaining good health during and after her pregnancy, the workshop gave her specifics on what to expect during labor and delivery, as well as the value of better nutrition. “I learned more about how what I ate would not only affect my health but the health of my baby, or in my case, babies,” Alexsa said. “The workshop also taught me how to listen to my body to know how much to eat. It was great, which was no surprise because we love all the health benefits the Fund offers.” Source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
