Pregnancy is a time of excitement and planning, but it's also a time of questions and concerns. We want to make sure you have the support you need as you go through this special journey.
Our Special Beginnings® program is designed to help you stay on track with health care for each trimester of your pregnancy and after your baby is born. Once enrolled, we’ll help you get the answers and support you need every step of the way. This program is offered as part of your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma benefits at no additional cost.
We recommend you enroll as early as possible once you know you're pregnant. You will want to take advantage of all the benefits of the program through each stage of your pregnancy.
Atención prenatal
Durante el embarazo, contará con la ayuda de un coordinador de servicios médicos (enfermero altamente capacitado), que la ayudará a programar citas con el médico y exámenes. If you have health issues, they are there to help make sure you get the care you need. Your Care Coordinator will check in with you regularly and is available if you need to reach out. También tendrá acceso a clases educativas y a información para ayudarla a saber qué esperar y cómo tomar buenas decisiones para mantenerse saludable.
Post-Partum care
After your baby is born, you still have support as a new parent. Su coordinador de servicios médicos puede ayudarla a obtener información sobre la atención médica posparto. Hablará con usted sobre cómo se encuentran usted y su bebé. ¿Tiene problemas para dormir el tiempo suficiente? ¿Tiene depresión? They will guide you to resources to help.
Cuidados neonatales
Aprenda sobre una buena nutrición, la lactancia, la crianza y mucho más con recursos en línea. Also check out helpful information on many topics such as home visit programs and vaccines.
