BMC Pregnancy Guide Maternity care, a woman's care during her pregnancy is important in helping to ensure that women and newborns survive pregnancy and childbirth. Antenatal care is defined as “Prenatal delivery is a critical stage in a mother's life, which extends from conception to premenstrual period.

Pregnancy, childbirth and childbirth are important factors in a couple's life. Knowledge and understanding of unknown events during pregnancy can make childbirth a very rich and exciting event. Pregnancy, including birth is perhaps the most emotional and amazing experience in a woman's life.

The use of prenatal health services is an effective way to reduce the risk of maternal illness and death especially in areas where the general health status of women is not good. By increasing the use of antenatal care (ANC) maternal mortality risk can be reduced. Planned maternity care was first introduced in the early 20th century in Europe (Edinburgh) and North America and is now a global phenomenon. Janet Campbell, one of the most visionary and thought-provoking women in the medical field, launched a national antenatal clinic with the same method of travel and procedures.
