Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
They're going to have a baby. . .
This couple have recently learned that their baby is on
the way. Already, with the help of their doctor, they
are planning for the welfare of the mother-to-be . . . and
the arrival of a healthy child.
Thanks to the safeguards with which medical science
has surrounded pregnancy and childbirth, the chances
are better than ever that prospective parents can now
realize their great expectations. In fact, infant mortality
today has been cut to 28 per 1,000 live births. Only 30
years ago, it was 71.7 per 1,000.
The record for mothers is even better. As recently as
1941, there were 29 maternal deaths among every 10,000
live births. Today, the rate has plummeted to less than
seven deaths. These great gains have been made even
though the number of births in recent years has exceeded
three and a half million annually . . . an increase of almost
50 percent since 1941.
An important factor in achieving this proud record has
been the growing awareness among expectant parents of
the importance of medical care started early and continued
throughout pregnancy.
So, if a baby is expected in your family, here are some
of the things the expectant mother can do:
1. Take a calm, realistic and happy attitude about preg-
Nancy. Should anything upset you, take your ques-
tions to your doctor. He wants to help you face pregnancy
as a normal, joyous state.
2. Follow your doctor’s advice about periodic medical
examinations, special diagnostic tests and particu-
larly about rest, exercise, diet and weight control.
3. Plan, if possible, to have your baby in a hospital
where you will have the most modern medical and
nursing care. [t is wise to make hospital reservations
promptly . . . for today. 9 out of every 10 mothers go to
hospitals to have their babies.
The husband, too, can help his wife over the months
before the baby comes. The arrival of a new child is a
most important event in family life . . . as important to
the husband as to the wife. When home duties are shared,
many problems fade away.
Metropolitan has published, for all parents-to-be, a
booklet about the important and wonderfully rewarding
job of parenthood. The title is Preparing for Parenthood.
