What mothers are saying about PRAMS

What advice new mothers are offering pregnant women

“I just want mothers-to-be to know how important it is to get prenatal care . . . read everything you can on pregnancy --there is so much to learn. . .”

“Babies are wonderful and they are God's gift to us. We need to take care of them and do the best we can for them.”

“I never thought anything could change my life like my daughter did.  She is my joy! I love her! She's wonderful!”

“All I can say is to take care of yourself, your baby deserves that. Keep doctor’s appointments and try to stay healthy. If you have other children, keep them involved, make special time for them individually if you can, and let them help. Have your partner help too-- let dad do some diaper changes or midnight feeds, don't try to do it all yourself. You’re only human, you will tire out, take care of yourself.”

“ . . .My advice for women is to get pre-natal care, follow through on all appointments, and get appropriate care for you and your child.”

“My pregnancy was a triplet pregnancy. My husband and I could not be happier with the outcome. The triplets are 3 months old now and are in perfect health-- they are a blessing from above!!!”

“Stay healthy when pregnant because that’s what the baby needs. Always eat real good and always go to the doctor’s when you have to go for the baby and yourself.”

“The most important thing you can do is take good care of yourself and have family to help you through things. Don't keep things to yourself. If you have any problems with anything, make sure you tell someone (anyone).”

“To mothers who are pregnant: I believe you should get prenatal care immediately. Don't smoke or use any drugs that could harm you or the baby. Don't stay in an abusive relationship and try to do what's best for you and your baby.”

“Best wishes to all!!! Have a safe and happy pregnancy.”
