The Mom-To-Be Program
A special program for pregnant members of HIP Health Plan of New York.

Make Healthy Choices
The Mom-To-Be program links mothers-to-be with important health care information about pregnancy, so they have the information needed to make healthy choices. After all, healthy choices lead to a healthier baby.

Call Maternity Nurses Any Time
Once you sign-up with the Mom-To-Be program, you can begin to use the Mom-To-Be telephone line. This toll-free phone line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can speak with a maternity nurse, who will answer any questions you may have, even on weekends!

Meeting Your Needs
As a member of the Mom-To-Be Program, you will need to complete three surveys at different times during your pregnancy. The answers you give help us know which learning materials are best for your needs. If you have special needs during your pregnancy, a HIP maternity nurse case manager will contact you. She will work with you and your doctor to be sure you get the support you need.

A Newsletter Just For You
If you have an e-mail address, you can also receive an online Mom-To-Be newsletter. You will get the newsletter every two weeks, beginning at 13 weeks in your pregnancy. The newsletter will give you extra information about your pregnancy, tips for dads and other general health articles.

Getting Started
Getting started is simple. As soon as your OB/GYN tells you that you are pregnant, you can join the Mom-To-Be program and complete your first survey over the phone. You will then receive the book Your Journey Through Pregnancy, and a copy of your survey in the mail, along with other educational information, the nurse line phone number and a password to access on-line educational information.
