In plain words
At least five prenatal checkups in pregnancy, plus a home visit after delivery and the checkup at 42 days postpartum, are paid for by the state. To get them, go to your community before 13 weeks of pregnancy and open a Maternal and Child Health Handbook. If you don't, these free visits are simply missed.
