Description
Pregnant? Now is a great time to keep your baby healthy.
Following the five SMILE actions is the best way to keep you and your baby healthy during pregnancy.
It’s a simple way to remember what’s most important during this exciting time.
Your midwife or specialist doctor is the best person to talk to about your individual care.
The SMILE campaign was developed by the Waitemata and Auckland DHBs with input from pregnant women, midwives, obstetricians and GPs.
