Prenatal Care (1913), by Mary Mills West
نویسنده
چکیده
Prenatal Care is an educational booklet written by Mary Mills West of the US Children?s Bureau and published by the US Government Printing Office in 1913. The Bureau distributed West?s booklets in response to their field studies on infant mortality, which found that lack of access to accurate health and hygiene information put women and infants at greater than normal risk of death or disease. In Prenatal Care, West offers advice on nutrition, exercise, and personal hygiene during pregnancy [4] and describes the processes of labor and birth. Soon after publication, women all over the US requested copies of Prenatal Care. Millions of copies of Prenatal Care were distributed nationally between 1921 and 1928 as part of educational programs funded by the Sheppard-Towner Act, and the infant mortality rate declined during that period.
