Maternal health
During a pregnancy, women should receive continuous care from a physician to monitor the growth and status of the fetus. Maternal health organizations suggest that at a minimum pregnant women should receive one ultrasound at week 24 to help predict any possible growth anomalies and prevent future gestational concerns. It is also stated that pregnant women should also fulfill any missing vaccinations as soon as possible including the tetanus vaccine and influenza vaccine. For pregnant women who are at an increased risk for preeclampsia, one could take a dietary supplement of low dose aspirin before 20 weeks gestation.
