Pregnancy
Whether you are thinking about having a baby, are pregnant or have already had your baby, we want to give you information that will help you make healthy and informed decisions at this special time of your life.
The Public Health-Healthy Living team and their community service partners want to work with you to ensure you have the healthiest pregnancy and baby possible. Public health nurses can support you and your family during your pregnancy and after you have had your baby.
Here are some ways public health nurses can support you to make healthy choices around your pregnancy:
- accessing prenatal health information and resources
- getting the nutrition you need
- getting the emotional supports you need to grow and flourish
- accessing a doctor or midwife for prenatal care
- learning about feeding and caring for a new baby
- finding the community services that meet your needs
We encourage anyone who is pregnant to self refer by calling their local public health nurse. We also accept referrals from midwives, physicians, social workers, and other health or social service providers.
