PEHP encourages every expectant mother to have a happy, healthy pregnancy. Studies have shown that women who receive early, continuous prenatal care and appropriate education are less likely to experience complications. The WeeCare prenatal screening/ education program is available to all PEHP members who are expecting a baby. Participation in the WeeCare program is voluntary, but PEHP provides a $100 cash incentive for members who enroll in the first trimester of pregnancy, and a $50 cash incentive for enrolling in the second trimester of pregnancy. Whether or not enrollment takes place in the first or second trimester, each participant receives a free copy of the What to Expect When You're Expecting book.

Organized month by month for the second year and third years, What to Expect the Toddler Years covers each growth and development phase parents are likely to encounter. Hundreds of questions and answers treat everything from eating and sleeping problems to day care, tantrums, bottle mouth, shyness, self-esteem, and more. An entire third section of the book is devoted to toilet training, safety, and health, and a fourth covers special concerns-the exceptional child, siblings, and balancing work and parenting. Thorough, caring and intelligent, What to Expect the Toddler Years is as valuable for the seasoned parent as it is for the new parent. |
