Maternal health and wellbeing in the perinatal period

Maternal health in the perinatal period is not just about medical care; it encompasses a wide range of services and support systems designed to ensure the mother's overall well-being. This period involves significant changes in a woman's body, which can affect her physical and mental health. Adequate healthcare services, including regular prenatal check-ups, nutritional guidance, and mental health support, are essential for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth experience.
