Special Nurse Program Helps Mothers Plan and Design Their Pregnancies
We believe that each pregnancy is wonderful and a special time of life for women to remember and cherish. It’s a time of dreams and optimism; of a beautiful process of life and development. It’s also a time to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery process for both mother and child. To help get the most of every moment of pregnancy, we offer our each mom-to-be a “Special Nurse”.
This pre-conception through birth program is designed to give each mother-to-be and her loved ones an opportunity to fully and personally prepare for the birth of the newest family member before his or her arrival.
When you sign up to participate in this free program, you’ll benefit from lots of attention and information about pregnancy and birth. Your assigned “special” nurse will begin your relationship with an interview to develop your personalized plan for pregnancy. This nurse will be your resource during the course of your pregnancy to provide helpful information, tips and suggestions.
