Perinatal care refers to the healthcare provided to pregnant women and their babies before, during, and after childbirth. This includes prenatal care, labor and delivery services, and postnatal care for both the mother and baby. The goal of perinatal care is to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and baby throughout the pregnancy and childbirth process. This may include regular check-ups, monitoring the baby's development, and providing support and education to the mother to help her have a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Perinatal care is typically provided by obstetricians, midwives, and other healthcare providers who specialize in maternal and infant health.
