The perinatal period encompasses the time from conception to the first year after birth. It is a crucial stage in human development, encompassing significant changes and transitions for both the mother and the baby. During this period, the mother's body undergoes profound physiological transformations to support pregnancy and childbirth, while the baby's rapid growth and development lay the foundation for future health and well-being. The perinatal period is also a time of heightened vulnerability, with increased risks of health complications for both mother and child. Understanding and addressing these risks is essential to optimizing perinatal outcomes and ensuring the best possible start for every child.
