PRENATAL CARE

The importance of prenatal care can not be underestimated. Early admission into prenatal care improves the probability for a successful pregnancy.
What you eat and what you drink or smoke affects your baby. When you are pregnant, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs can hurt your unborn baby.
Don't take prescription drugs or over-the-counter medicine before asking your doctor.

Being pregnant or breastfeeding a baby is a big job. And the statewide Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC, is here to help you.
