• Pregnancy is a creative and productive period in
the life of women. It is one of the physiological
vital event, which needs special care from the
conception to postnatal period, every mother
wants to enjoy the nine months period with the
baby inside her womb. The mothers joyful
experience of the pregnancy is not going to be
always but sometimes it is associated with
problems of some minor ailments that may
present among mothers which cause discomfort
to the mothers during pregnancy.(
BACKGROUD OF THE
STUDY
• Maternal health is a nation’s wealth. Women are the
primary care takers, first educators, bearers and nurtures
of the next generation. They are the nucleus of our society.
Our destiny lies with the well being of women’s health.
Pregnancy is the period when women need more attention
and care. Worldwide, an estimated 515,000 women die of
causes related to pregnancy and child birth each year, and
their deaths leave one million children motherless.2 Over
99% of these deaths occur in developing countries. In
India, in every five minutes one woman dies from
complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. This
means more than 1, 00,000 women die each year due to
pregnancy related causes.
NEED FOR THE
STUDY
• Antenatal care is an important intervention for
the wellbeing of the pregnant mother and the
expected infant, especially in regions where
maternal and infant mortality rates are high.
The main reason for high maternal mortality in
India is that many women are not aware of the
measures that are available to prevent diseases
in pregnancy as well as basic information in
self care during pregnancy. Many do not
receive timely help either because they are
unaware of the help available or help is not
within the reasonable distance.
