Pregnancy

• Preparing for Pregnancy
  Take steps now to prepare for pregnancy—schedule a pre-pregnancy exam with your doctor to ensure you are in optimal health.
• Once You're Pregnant
  Good prenatal care is essential for a healthy pregnancy.

• Your Growing Baby
  For a healthy baby, make wise lifestyle choices during pregnancy: No smoking and no alcohol are two of the most important.

  The hormones of pregnancy bring on a number of changes, from nausea to fatigue. Your growing, developing baby, too, has a profound effect.
• Pregnancy Tests & Procedures
  A range of tests and procedures are available to help monitor you and your developing child.

Women's Health Issues

• Breast Health
  Getting regular checkups and performing breast self-exams are two important ways to keep your breasts healthy.
• Gynecological Health
  An annual pelvic exam and Pap test can help spot gynecological problems before they become serious—and more difficult to treat.
• Heart Disease & Stroke
  You may dismiss heart disease as a man's problem, but one woman in 10 who is 45 to 64 has heart disease. That figure rises to one in four for women older than 65.
• Obesity
  Obesity is a serious, chronic disease that can inflict substantial harm to a person’s health. If you are obese, you are at higher risk for developing high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and other medical problems.
• Osteoporosis
  One in every two women older than 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture at some point in her life. You can reduce your risk for osteoporosis by getting regular weight-bearing exercise and boosting your calcium and vitamin D intake.
• Conditions of Concern to Women
  Some of these conditions include yeast infections, anemia, migraine headaches, and urinary incontinence.
