Why Safe Motherhood Is So Important
Safe motherhood means that every woman gets the care she needs to be safe and healthy before, during, and after childbirth. Sadly, many avoidable issues still occur due to late diagnosis, unhealthy habits, or poor medical guidance.
In India, Safe Motherhood Day is celebrated on April 11 every year to create awareness about maternal health. But safe motherhood is not just one day—it’s about following proper care throughout pregnancy.
Choosing a trusted hospital like Vansh IVF & Hospital ensures you get access to expert gynecologists, advanced facilities, and a caring environment.
1. Plan Your Pregnancy the Right Way
Many complications can be avoided by planning your pregnancy at the right time. Doctors say the safe pregnancy age is between 20 to 35 years, as this is the age range where fertility is high and health risks are low.
Before trying to conceive, it’s good to get a health check-up. This helps detect any issues early.
At Vansh IVF & Hospital, we offer pre-pregnancy consultations, fertility testing, and lifestyle advice to make your journey smooth from day one.
2. Start Antenatal Care Early
Antenatal care, or prenatal care, is the regular check-up you need once you’re pregnant. This includes:
- Blood tests
- Ultrasound scans
- Blood pressure checks
- Fetal heartbeat monitoring
- Weight tracking
Early visits help identify problems like anemia, diabetes, thyroid, or infections that can affect both mother and baby.
At Vansh IVF & Hospital, we provide complete antenatal care under one roof. Our team ensures all your appointments and tests are on time.
3. Follow a Healthy Diet Plan
Food plays a big role in your baby’s development. Some of the most useful healthy pregnancy tips include:
- Eat small meals every 2-3 hours
- Include iron-rich foods like spinach, dry fruits, and jaggery
- Take folic acid and calcium supplements
- Avoid junk food, soft drinks, and uncooked meat
- Drink at least 8–10 glasses of water daily
Some of the essentials for pregnant woman include:
- Milk and dairy products
- Fruits like banana, papaya (ripe), and oranges
- Vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and sweet potato
- Lentils, eggs, and lean meats
Your diet should be natural, simple, and fresh. Avoid crash diets or skipping meals.
4. Stay Active with Light Exercises
Being active helps reduce back pain, swelling, and fatigue. It also prepares your body for normal delivery. You can:
- Walk for 20-30 minutes daily
- Do gentle stretching
- Practice prenatal yoga (after doctor’s advice)
At Vansh IVF & Hospital, our experts can suggest the right activities based on your pregnancy stage and health condition.
Avoid high-impact workouts or lifting heavy items. Listen to your body and rest when needed.
5. Track Your Baby’s Movements
Feeling your baby’s kicks is one of the happiest moments during pregnancy. It usually starts around the 5th or 6th month. A sudden stop in movement may signal a problem.
Keep a note of movements daily. If you notice any change, contact your doctor immediately.
6. Sleep and Mental Health Matter
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect your sleep and mood. Here are some simple ways to improve sleep:
- Sleep on your left side with a pillow under your knees
- Avoid screens 1 hour before bedtime
- Use soft, loose clothes
- Stay away from loud noise and bright lights
Pregnancy can also bring mood swings, anxiety, and stress. Stay connected with your family, talk to your doctor, or try relaxation techniques like meditation.
Mental peace is part of safe motherhood too.
7. Avoid Risky Habits and Infections
Say a big no to:
- Alcohol
- Smoking
- Caffeine in large amounts
- Raw eggs, seafood, and unpasteurized milk
These can harm your baby’s growth and cause long-term damage. Also, stay away from people who are sick, especially with flu or infections.
Maintain hygiene—wash hands often, eat clean food, and use mosquito repellents safely to avoid infections like dengue or malaria.
8. Prepare for Delivery and Emergency
Start preparing by the 8th month:
- Choose your delivery hospital
- Pack a hospital bag with clothes, diapers, ID proof, and reports
- Discuss pain management options with your doctor
- Make sure your partner or a family member is available
At Vansh IVF & Hospital, we offer:
- 24×7 labor and delivery services
- NICU for newborn emergencies
- Personalized birth plans
- Emergency ambulance support
9. Post-Delivery Care Is Equally Important
Safe motherhood doesn’t stop after birth. Take care of:
- Wound healing (in case of stitches)
- Breastfeeding support
- Newborn checkups and vaccinations
- Emotional wellbeing (watch for signs of post-partum depression)
Our postnatal support team helps new mothers adjust comfortably after delivery.
