Prenatal Care
Early and regular prenatal care is important to make sure you have a healthy baby. If you do not have insurance or cannot afford private prenatal care, there are many clinics that provide prenatal care at a lower cost. Regular check-ups by your doctor or health care provider will measure your baby’s growth, and detect complications of pregnancy such as high blood pressure and preterm labor. Prenatal care should begin as soon as you learn that you are pregnant. Contact the Austin/Travis County Health Department Primary Care Division if you need a referral to one of these low cost clinics.
