Early Head Start (EHS) staff engage pregnant mothers and expectant families as they prepare for their new baby. Connecting families to comprehensive prenatal care, such as nutrition education, oral health care, and mental health supports, is all part of the process. Understanding what to expect during pregnancy and after the birth can help young families feel better prepared to face parenthood.
