Supporting Maternal Health During Prematurity Awareness Month
Promoting Maternal and Infant Health: Insights for Prematurity Awareness Month
November is Prematurity Awareness Month, a time to shed light on the experiences and challenges faced by families and infants born preterm. With roughly 1 in 10 babies born prematurely in the U.S. each year, these early arrivals can face a variety of health complications, making comprehensive maternal and infant care vital to improving outcomes.
At Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH), we believe in providing holistic support to mothers, babies, and families throughout every stage of the birthing journey, from prenatal care to postpartum recovery. Our team of dedicated providers works alongside families to offer tailored care that enhances both maternal and infant health, even in challenging circumstances like premature births.
Comprehensive Maternal Health Services at MCH
MCH’s maternal health services start well before delivery and extend through the postpartum period, ensuring mothers and babies receive the attention they need at every step. Before childbirth, our team helps mothers-to-be prepare for their birthing experience with personalized birth plans, offering guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and emotional well-being to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
In the birthing suite, our experienced obstetric care team provides around-the-clock support, equipped with the latest technology to monitor both mother and baby. This level of care becomes especially critical during preterm labor, where early medical intervention can significantly improve outcomes for both mom and baby.
Postpartum Care and Premature Infant Support
Postpartum care is an essential part of our maternal health offerings. MCH provides resources and support for new mothers, including lactation consulting, infant nutrition guidance, and emotional support services through individual consultations and group classes. Our nursing staff are required to attend extra educational courses to maintain the needed skills to provide care to any infant born prematurely at MCH. Our providers and nursing staff collaborate and will consult other outside specialists to assist in the management of any infant needing additional NICU level care after birth. MCH is committed to offering both medical care and emotional support through every stage of the journey.
Our Classes, Programs, and Support Services are designed to give mothers and families the tools they need to thrive. These offerings include childbirth preparation classes, infant care workshops, and maternal mental health support, empowering families to face the challenges of prematurity with knowledge and confidence.

This November, we invite you to join us in raising awareness for prematurity and supporting the mothers and infants affected. You can make a difference by learning more about the risk factors for preterm birth, sharing resources with expectant families, or participating in local events and fundraisers aimed at improving neonatal care.

maternity ward By Dave Anderson Monadnock Ledger-Transcript Monday, November 4, 2013 (Published in print: Tuesday, November 5, 2013) For more than 20 years, women giving birth in Canada, western Europe and Australia have had the option of using nitrous oxide to help them cope with pain during labor. But in the United States, where nitrous oxide is frequently used in dental offices, it has not been available in delivery rooms. But that’s about to change, and Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough is leading the way, the first hospital in New England and one of just a few in the country that has nitrous oxide equipment in its maternity unit. “No one treatment is right for everybody,” says Dr. Fletcher Wilson, the chief of obstetrics at MCH. “The more options available, the better off you’ll be. [Nitrous oxide] is used by the majority of the world. Why aren’t we doing it?” The hospital recently purchased two Pro Nox nitrous oxide delivery systems, which are relatively new to the U.S. market and have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The units, which can be wheeled into a birthing room, include both a mask and a mouthpiece, either of which can be used by the patient to breathe in a 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen.
