Before Childbirth - Monadnock Community Hospital

Before Childbirth

Pre-conception and Prenatal Care

Starting prenatal care early can increase your chances of having a healthy baby. We encourage you to seek medical care prior to and throughout your pregnancy.*

Some healthy practices you can follow include:

Taking folic acid supplements daily
Limiting exposure to home and workplace toxins
Avoiding certain over-the-counter and prescription medications
Avoiding all illegal drugs
Controlling chronic medical conditions
Learning about genetic diseases

Classes

At the Birthing Suite, you can participate in programs for New and Expecting Moms that teach you what to expect throughout your pregnancy and guide you through exercises specifically for pregnancy. Classes are 1 on 1 with a Childbirth Educator. Please call 603-924-7191 x4174 for more information and to make an appointment for an upcoming class.
