Healthy pregnancy tips from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts

Commit to your best health during your pregnancy!

Here are some helpful tips from Blue Cross you can use during your 9-month adventure.

  1. Make regular doctor’s appointments, and keep them.
  2. Be prepared for testing.
  3. Gain weight at a moderate pace.
  4. New or unusual symptom? Call your doctor.
  5. Take the time to practice mindfulness and de-stress.

Based on your responses to the Ovia health questionnaire assessing potential pregnancy risks, you have access to a special maternity benefit through Blue Cross. At no cost to you, you can talk to a Blue Cross on-call nurse who’ll answer questions about symptoms, help you understand what to expect in the coming weeks, go over your personal health needs, help create a plan to commit to your best overall well-being, offer recommendations for doctors and hospitals, and help you prepare for life with a newborn.

Nurses are available Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., EST.
