What is prenatal?

Prenatal refers to the period of time before a baby is born, typically lasting from conception to delivery. During this time, a woman's body undergoes significant changes and developments to support and nourish the growing fetus. Prenatal care includes regular monitoring of the mother's health as well as the baby's development, including prenatal screenings and ultrasounds. Proper nutrition, exercise, and rest are also important during pregnancy. Prenatal care is crucial for the health and well-being of both the mother and baby and can help prevent complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
