Is the care a pregnant mother receives from a health professional, a doctor or mid-wife, before her baby is born. Prenatal Care is vital to the health and safety of the mother and her baby. During a mother's prenatal care a doctor is able to monitor her pregnancy and diagnose any problems if and when they arise. The first trimester (1 st 3 months) is the most critical time in the life of a developing baby. It is also the time when women are usually unaware of their pregnancy. It is very important that if you suspect you are pregnant you take a pregnancy test as soon as possible to make sure you are or are not pregnant. If it is an unplanned pregnancy, it is important not to be in denial or try to hide your pregnancy. Eventually you will begin to show and will not be able to deny or hide the fact you are pregnant and you may do harm to yourself and your unborn child in the meantime. You can receive prenatal care from any OBGYN Doctor. There are several in Walton County; refer to the yellow pages.
