Self Care 

Exercise

Healthy pregnant women are generally encouraged to stay active during pregnancy. Heathlink BC provides useful guidelines. The OB will advise as to any recommended limitations.

Mental Health

Women with pre-existing mental health conditions will often have concerns regarding the effect of pregnancy and the postpartum period on their mental health. They may also have concerns regarding the use of psychiatric medications in pregnancy and postpartum. The OB will provide advice and arrange referral to Reproductive Mental Health, if required.
