Answer:
pre natal and post natal care are important for the safety of both mother and child.
Reducing complications during pregnancy. Taking prenatal vitamins and healthy food to ensure proper nutrition is received by the mother and the baby. Ensuring that unsafe medications aren't taken by the mother. Reducing complication risk for the future infant and fetus.
The care includes the prevention, early detection and treatment of complications, and the provision of counselling on breastfeeding, birth spacing, immunization and maternal nutrition. To standardise the PNC service, you are advised to use the screening, counselling and postnatal care cards.
