A Healthy Pregnancy

Each pregnancy is different. Make an appointment with your doctor as soon as you think you may be pregnant. Early and regular visits with your doctor will improve your chances of having a healthy baby. We want you to have a healthy baby. That's why we offer Healthy Expectations, our maternity care program. The program provides support during your pregnancy as well as after your baby arrives.

Here are a few of the benefits you'll enjoy when you join.

Personal Support
You will have access to a Nurse Health Advisor.  You can discuss any health concerns you have, or health plan benefits, at your convenience.

Free Education Materials
You'll receive free booklets and brochures on topics you may be interested in, such as the care of your newborn, breastfeeding or postpartum depression.  We will provide you with a list of topics to choose from.

With Priority Health, you and your doctor decide when you are ready to go home.
If your stay is:

• 24 hours for an uncomplicated vaginal birth, or
• 48 hours for an uncomplicated C-section,

You will be offered:

• A nurse to call you within 24 hours after you leave the hospital to check on you and your baby.  The nurse will answer any questions you may have and make an appointment to visit your home.
• A nurse to visit you twice within the next 3 days.  The nurse will check your needs, the needs of your baby and your family.  The nurse will also talk with your doctor if necessary.

When you are pregnant and after your baby is born, you may be eligible to receive Maternal Support Services (MSS) or Infant Support Services (ISS).  Be sure to ask your doctor about these services.

Pregnant women and young children may be able to get free formula, milk and food from the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program.  Talk to your doctor about this program or call your local Health Department.
