Maternity refers to the period of time when a woman is pregnant and the medical care and support provided during and after pregnancy. It includes prenatal, antenatal, and postnatal care, as well as childbirth and recovery. Maternity care typically involves regular check-ups, monitoring of the mother and baby's health, guidance on nutrition and exercise, and preparation for childbirth and motherhood. It aims to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby throughout the entire pregnancy journey.
