Maternal Wellbeing
Maternal wellbeing refers to the physical, mental, and emotional health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encompasses various factors, including access to healthcare, nutrition, and social support, which can significantly impact both the mother and the developing baby.
Ensuring maternal wellbeing is crucial for reducing risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth, such as gestational diabetes and postpartum depression. Programs that promote education, prenatal care, and mental health resources can help improve outcomes for mothers and their children, fostering a healthier family environment.
