**Late Prenatal Care** Prenatal Care visits are very important for the health of the baby and the mother. It is important to be educated by our OBGYN on health issues, such as their diet and nutrition, exercise, weight gain, and other pregnancy induced disease like Diabetes. This is an opportunity for mothers to learn about the benefits of breast feeding and taking on the new emotional challenges of caring for an infant. Mother’s who receive little or no prenatal cares are most likely to have babies with health issues. Trends have shown there is a difference of prenatal care based on Race and Ethnic Origin.
