Have a Healthy Baby

A healthy pregnancy is good for you and your baby. Follow these tips for a healthy pregnancy:

• Get regular checkups. See your doctor throughout your pregnancy, even if you feel great.  If you need help finding a doctor, please call Keystone Mercy Member Services at 1-800-521-6860.  You can also click here to get to the Keystone Mercy provider directory.

• Eat healthy foods. Eat a variety of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, beans, fish, low-fat dairy products, and eggs.  Eating healthy foods can boost your energy too.

• Exercise. If your doctor says it is OK, you should exercise. Walking is a safe choice.

• Don’t eat raw or undercooked fish or meats. 

• Avoid harmful substances.  Don’t drink any alcohol, smoke, or use drugs.   If you need help to stop drinking or using drugs, click here to find a behavioral health provider.  If you need help to stop smoking or using tobacco, please click here for more information on Keystone Mercy's Tobacco Cessation program.

• Have someone else change the cat litter.
