and baby. STAGE 3: (contraction, expulsion of the placenta). The hormone oxytocin
plays a vital role in the birth process since it stimulates the uterine contractions
in labour and childbirth.
Prenatal/antenatal care: is medical care an expecting mother gets during
pregnancy. On the other hand, postnatal care is defined as care given to the
mother and her newborn baby immediately after the birth of the placenta and
for the first 42 days of life. During both prenatal and postnatal periods, mothers
need to have regular medical check-ups and maintain a healthy diet.
Importance of Breastfeeding: it helps protect babies against some short- and
long-term illnesses and diseases.
