Hygiene of pregnancy
Categories:
Obstetrics or Midwifery
In pregnancy the dividing line between health and
disease is often so shadowy that every care should be given the pregnant
woman, not only that she shall escape dangers that may come, but that the
future health of the coming baby may be safeguarded.
The care taken in pregnancy therefore should include attention to
clothing, food, exercise, rest, sleep, functions of all excreting organs,
the breasts, nervous system and the mind.
