Prenatal Care Tips
While proper prenatal care and screening is important, Black mothers also need the support of fathers, family and the community to ensure a healthy prenatal, birthing and postpartum experience.

Doulas are non-medical professionals who empower women and their partners to be their own best advocates and provide continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after pregnancy.
