Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting time of a woman’s – and couple’s – life. At the same time, it can also be a time full of questions, concerns and confusion regarding medical care, the options available, and what steps should be taken to ensure a healthy baby and mother.
In order to make this process easier, United Healthcare has created a site healthy-pregnancy.com that can be accessed by anyone as well as a program for expectant mothers on their plan.
At healthy-pregnancy.com, you can utilize tools such as a due date calculator, week by week baby growth explanations, fitness and nutritional tips, descriptions of the types of delivery available to women, and resources such as an appointment tracker and links to sites that can help you know more about the care your planned hospital offers. Make sure to check out the birth plan checklist (which is printable) so that you can easily communicate your birth plan to your entire labor and delivery team.
The program that United Healthcare has created also provides additional resources to their members. By enrolling for the Healthy Pregnancy Program during the first 33 weeks of their pregnancy, expectant mothers are given access to 24-hour toll-free access to experienced pregnancy and childbirth nurses, educational materials and resources, as well as one-on-one support. Currently, over 41,500 high-risk pregnancies has been identified and supported by the nurses of this program, helping expectant mothers to be more informed throughout their pregnancy.
