Features: Reproductive health is gaining increasing attention both domestically and internationally because it not only concerns the health of male and female citizens and the next generation but also relates to the prosperity of a nation. It is the foundational work for ensuring family happiness, social civilization, and progress, and is also an important content of the "Maternal and Child Health Care Law of the People's Republic of China." Pre-marital health care, prenatal care, and postnatal care are the three key links in ensuring reproductive health. This book centers on reproductive health and is divided into chapters according to the process of marriage and childbirth: the Pre-Marital Chapter—introducing scientific knowledge about marriage and pregnancy to newlyweds; the Pregnancy Chapter—introducing fetal development and health care knowledge for each stage of pregnancy, helping to control and eliminate the impact of harmful factors on pregnant women; and the Perinatal Chapter—assisting new mothers in understanding the childbirth process correctly, introducing knowledge of smooth delivery, scientific infant feeding, and reasonable neonatal care. This book is a valuable companion for family health care and is suitable for newly married couples, maternal and child health care doctors, community doctors, and family planning workers.
