PREGNANCY AWARENESS WEEK: A grand adventure is about to begin.
The moment you find out you have a little life growing inside you is the moment the grand adventure of motherhood begins. And the first step in this adventure is attending antenatal care.
Pregnancy Awareness Week aims to strengthen pregnancy education and highlight important issues that promote healthy pregnancy and safe motherhood. Early antenatal care attendance provides:
The opportunity to manage existing medical conditions which can be aggravated by the pregnancy, such as hypertension, diabetes, infections and anaemia;
Free HIV testing and voluntary counselling;
Early recognition of danger signs in pregnancy and post-delivery;
Preparation for birth and readiness for complications; and
Self-care information regarding nutrition and hygiene.
At The Local Choice Pharmacies, we’re here to guide mothers-to-be on this grand adventure! Ask your trusted pharmacist for advice on prenatal vitamins.
