Healthy pregnancy

Abstract

To improve the health of newborns it is important that mothers carry a healthy pregnancy during pregnancy. Normal pregnancy is the woman's physiological state that begins with fertilization and ends with childbirth and the birth of the newborn. The mother presents physical and physiological changes that she must know through her prenatal consultations to strengthen preventive actions during pregnancy for a happy term.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines it as quality care during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period, establishing recommendations on sustainable development objectives (SDS) that guarantee a healthy pregnancy, with the opportunity to identify some warning signs that may arise and complicate pregnancy such as: headache, tinnitus, phosphenes, edema of the lower limbs, bleeding, fever, transvaginal losses, contractions, seizures and dysuria.

There are also tools that support pregnancy care, such as NOM-007-SSA2-2016, For the care of women during pregnancy, delivery and puerperium, and for the newborn and the NOM-O34- SSA2-2013, For the prevention and control of birth defects. Guaranteeing healthy and risk-free motherhood for all Mexican women contributes to reducing maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
