Safety Pregnancy

Being safe in pregnancy means being safe for the pregnant woman and the fetus beared. To ensure safety pregnancy, there are some steps to do before conception, during pregnancy and after delivery. In other words, woman who want to be pregnant should undergo preconceptional care, antenatal care and postnatal care.

The principal for preconceptional care is assesing medical and psychosocial condition of a woman before pregnancy because health during pregnancy depends on it. Then a plan can be initiated for continuing obstetrical care.

The same thing happens for antenatal care and postnatal care. Except that additonal health assesment is needed for the fetus or baby. All the care provided by medical health team is important to prevent complication in pregnancy. Thus, morbidity and mortality related to pregnancy can be reduced.
