Prenatal Care is an educational booklet written by Mary Mills West and the US Children's Bureau - under Julia Lathrop, its first chief.

This booklet offered advice on nutrition, exercise, and personal hygiene during pregnancy and describes the processes of labor and birth. Clean copy. Tan wraps. Near fine. Item #4066
