Operation of 'Expectant Mothers Health Class' Providing Accurate Information on Pregnancy and Childbirth

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) has officially launched the ‘Beginner Mom Escape Project’.

Seo-gu announced on the 10th that it will operate the ‘Expectant Mother Health Class’ until November to provide accurate information on pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting, helping expectant mothers with proper prenatal and postnatal care and promoting the health of both mothers and fetuses.

This health class will be held alternately on the second Monday and Thursday of each month from 2 PM to 5 PM.

By inviting professional instructors, various health knowledge and parenting information will be provided, including prenatal and postnatal depression management for expectant mothers, newborn health care methods, and successful breastfeeding techniques.

Experiential education such as breastfeeding clinics, making nursing lamps helpful for prenatal education activities, and reading prenatal education fairy tales will also be conducted to enhance satisfaction with the education.

There are plans to operate a ‘Night Childbirth Class’ for expectant couples who are busy with work before childbirth.

Through this, by sharing information about pregnancy and childbirth processes together as a couple, fathers’ participation in childcare will be encouraged, creating a favorable atmosphere for raising babies through joint parenting.

A Seo-gu official said, “We expect this prenatal education for expectant mothers to be practically helpful in managing the health of mothers preparing for childbirth,” and added, “We will continue to strive to discover various health education programs for expectant mothers.”

Meanwhile, Seo-gu Public Health Center is continuously promoting various projects such as providing folic acid and iron supplements for expectant mothers’ health management, the Nutrition Plus Project, medical expense support for infertile couples, medical expenses for premature infants, medical expenses for high-risk pregnant women, and medical expenses for congenital metabolic disorder infants.
