Are you pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant? Or do you have a child under age one? If so, then there are some very important things you need to know so that you can have a healthy baby. Sure, being pregnant and being a mother bring many changes, but there is a way to get the information you'll need and an added bonus, too!

Caring For Tomorrow's Children is a program designed just for you and your baby. The program features a toll-free hotline number, 1-800-868-0404, that you can call if you need information about your pregnancy or help in getting Medicaid or finding a doctor or health clinic.

An Added Bonus For You

But there's more to the hotline than just information. By simply calling the toll-free number, you can also receive a free book filled with hundreds of dollars worth of valuable coupons for items ranging from diapers and baby bibs to food, transportation, haircuts and other services. Any pregnant woman or mother with a child under age one can get a coupon book free just by calling the toll-free number or mailing in the attached card. The coupons are good at businesses all over the state, but they must be stamped by your doctor or clinic before you can use them. Going to the doctor or clinic makes sure that you get the care you need to make sure you have a healthy, happy baby.

The book also contains important information about how to stay healthy during pregnancy like what to eat, how much exercise and rest you need and other health tips.  It describes the changes that  will happen to you month by month during your pregnancy, how your baby will change during the first year and even has a guide to health care services all over South Carolina.

A Problem We Must Solve

Did you know that South Carolina has the sixth highest death rate in the nation for babies? That's why this program was developed. One of the best ways to help make sure your baby is born healthy is to go to your doctor or health clinic as soon as you think you are pregnant - and to keep going back for regular check ups during your entire pregnancy. Care during your pregnancy is called prenatal care - and it can mean the difference between a healthy baby and an unhealthy one.

So if you are pregnant, or have a child that is under age one, get the coupon book and get regular prenatal care. By Caring For Tomorrow's Children today, you'll have a healthier baby for tomorrow!
