Pregnancy Care Management

Pregnancy Care Management is a statewide program in N.C. promoting healthy mothers and healthy babies. This program provides care management services for high risk women during pregnancy and for two months after delivery by a social worker or nurse.

You may be high risk if you:

Have ever had a premature baby (baby born before 37 weeks).
Are pregnant with twins, triplets, etc.
Have diabetes, high blood pressure, HIV, sickle cell, asthma, seizure disorder, mental illness, or other conditions which can affect your pregnancy.
Are in an unsafe living environment (homeless, unstable housing, family violence, sexual abuse, community violence).
Use drugs or alcohol while you are pregnant.
Smoke or use tobacco products while you are pregnant.

How will I know if I am high risk?

When you have your first visit with your prenatal care provider, he/she will help decide if you have any risk factors. If you have any risk factors, you will be referred to a pregnancy care manager.
