Prenatal.

The prenatal period is the time when a baby develops in the womb, typically within 40 weeks. Prenatal care can help keep both birthing parents and their babies healthy. Babies of mothers who do not get prenatal care are three times more likely to have a low birth weight and five times more likely to die than those born to mothers who do get care.
