Pregnancy and Postpartum
Every pregnancy is special and each pregnancy is different. Getting prenatal care as early as possible improves the chances of a healthy pregnancy and childbirth. Receiving postpartum care after childbirth is just as crucial for a woman to make sure she is healing properly and gets the help she needs to care for herself and her baby.
IEHP has programs that offer support for our pregnant Members throughout their pregnancy and after.
