Maternity Care: Why It’s Important and Where You Can Get It

Whether you’re a first-time mother or you’ve welcomed other babies into the world before this one, maternity care is so important. Everyone should have access to maternity care, no matter their economic status. At Center for Family Medicine, we offer free pregnancy screenings. Let’s talk more about maternity care and our no-cost services.

Why Is Maternity Care So Important?

According to the Office on Women’s Health, women who do not seek out prenatal care are three times more likely to have a baby who is born underweight. Not only is prenatal care important because it can help you identify any issues with your unborn child, but it is also important because it can help you stay healthy and safe as a mother. Carrying a child comes with complications sometimes, but with the help of maternity care, you are more likely to stay well during your pregnancy.

What Services Do We Offer?

At Center for Family Medicine, we noticed that often pregnant women face several barriers when it comes to getting prenatal care. For example, some women don’t have insurance, and some women don’t have access to transportation. To make our services as accessible as possible, we offer pregnancy screenings that are completely free. Plus, we offer transportation services and can help moms who qualify apply for Medicaid. At our pregnancy screenings, we can go over any concerns or questions you have about your baby/pregnancy, and we can even prescribe prenatal vitamins. Walk ins are welcome!
