• Choosing a doctor or nurse midwife, and help you with finding a pediatrician or other specialist
• Information to help you take care of yourself and your baby — even if your pregnancy is considered high-risk
• Support to help you manage your health — physically and emotionally — before and after your baby is born

This program is available at no additional cost as part of your health plan.
