Is There a Baby In Your Future???

Early prenatal care is very important for a healthy mom and baby.

 

The Cudahy Health Department offers confidential

pregnancy testing that can confirm a pregnancy as soon as a woman is one week late with her period.

 

The health department can provide a temporary BadgerCare+ card to income eligible women with healthcare referrals and pregnancy education.

 

If you think you might be pregnant:

·        Start a multivitamin with 400 mcg of folic acid

·        Start eating a balanced diet

·        Stop smoking cigarettes

·        Avoid exposure to second-hand smoke

·        Stop using alcohol and beer

·        Avoid ALL over the counter medications

 

Prenatal Care Coordination (PNCC) is a pregnancy education program for expectant Cudahy women on Badger Care+. Referrals for medical care are available as well as health information related to pregnancy, labor and delivery and postpartum.

 

For a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, call 414-882-2385 to schedule an appointment.
