Prenatal Care

Prenatal Care is a crucial form of preventive healthcare for pregnant individuals, encompassing medical checkups, lifestyle recommendations, and education to ensure the health and well-being of both the parent and the developing fetus. Coursera's Prenatal Care catalogue teaches you the fundamental aspects of antenatal care, including maternal physiological changes, prenatal nutrition, and screening procedures. You'll learn to conduct prenatal examinations, interpret ultrasound results, provide nutritional guidance, and recognize potential complications during pregnancy. Mastering this skill empowers healthcare professionals to significantly reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, prevent birth defects, and promote positive pregnancy outcomes in diverse healthcare settings.
