Why Is This Important?
Early prenatal care is essential for favorable birth outcomes. Recent literature indicates that maternal stress is associated with preterm delivery. Pregnant women that received early and comprehensive prenatal care and personalized support are at reduced risk for low birth weight babies. A healthy birth weight is positively associated with optimum child health and development. Babies born to adolescent mothers are especially at risk for low birth weight (LBW) and other poor life outcomes.
