Are you or someone you know expecting a baby? As a member of UPMC Health Plan, you can connect with a maternity health coach through the UPMC Health Plan Maternity Program to help you have the healthiest pregnancy possible. It’s simple: You talk about whatever you’re concerned about. How frequently you communicate is up to you. You choose the time, and since it’s over the phone, you talk wherever you’re most comfortable. Maternity health coaches can help with how to:
- Eat right to keep your weight gain at a healthy level.
- Manage health conditions like diabetes or asthma.
- Feel better throughout your pregnancy.
- Help prepare you for labor and discuss pain management options.
- Find breastfeeding support and many other resources.
To connect with your maternity health coach, call 1-844-356-3125 or email maternitycoaches@upmc.edu to schedule a time.
