Summary

The perinatal period is characterized by physiological changes in the body of a woman, which represent new conditions for her and require adaptation. Pregnancy is a physiological period in which a new organism develops in the mother’s womb and the woman is preparing for a new role – the role of a mother. Specific health care in perinatal period is ensured by gynecologists and obstetricians in cooperation with midwives and community nurses. Their work in prenatal and postnatal periods lies in the care of pregnant women. It is the quality of prenatal care which can greatly influence the course of childbirth and the postpartum period of a woman. The aim of the paper is to present ways of providing community-based perinatal care in the former Czechoslovakia and in selected European countries.
