This month, the “Take Charge of Your Health Today” page focuses on pregnancy and how to stay healthy. Vianca Masucci, health advocate at the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh, and Esther L. Bush, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh, exchanged ideas on this topic.
VM: Good afternoon, Ms. Bush. When I heard that we’d be covering pregnancy health this month, I was thrilled because I knew that we’d be talking about a topic that is meaningful for everyone.
EB: Yes, Vianca; it’s great that you say that. Typically, when people think of “pregnancy health,” they might think that this topic is important only for women who are able to and want to have babies. But, in reality, this is important to everyone because health starts in the womb. The development of a child is influenced by the mother’s health during pregnancy. So, we should all care about healthy pregnancies because they contribute to a healthy population.
