Let us know you’re pregnant

Let us know you’re pregnant

If you’re pregnant, you’ll want to share the news with us. That way, we can help connect you to the care and services you need. So you and your baby can be as healthy as you can be. You can let us know:

Give your baby the best start

After your baby is born, you’ll need to enroll them in SoonerSelect benefits.
 

You have a few options:
 

Your baby will get an ID number for eligible benefits as soon as possible. This helps ensure they’ll get all the care they need.

Benefits for you and baby

A healthy baby is the best reward, but now you can enjoy even more. Check out these benefits for you and your baby.

 

This program is all about getting you and your baby the care you need. It’s a benefit you can enjoy before and after your baby is born. Why take part? You’ll get support through your pregnancy and as a new mother. And you can get rewards, too.

Get rewards for care

You can earn rewards for completing certain healthy steps. Then, the dollars appear on a special card you’ll receive. You can use the card to buy healthy food, maternity supplies and diapers at local and online stores.

 

With the Maternity Matters program, you can earn:
 

  • $25 card for letting us know you’re pregnant

  • $25 card for first prenatal (before birth) visit

  • $10 card for each additional prenatal visit (up to 10 more)

We’re here to help you stay healthy through your pregnancy. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, a care manager can help you get the special care you need. You’ll get support, including info about preterm labor and birth.

 

What is preterm labor?
 

Preterm (early) labor is labor that starts before 37 weeks of pregnancy. It can cause an earlier birth, which may lead to health problems that can affect the baby.
 

Any pregnant woman can have preterm labor. It may start for no reason, but you’re at a higher risk if you:
 

  • Are carrying more than one baby (twins, triplets or more)

  • Have had preterm labor or an early birth in the past 

  • Use drugs or alcohol while pregnant

  • Smoke or use other forms of nicotine while pregnant

  • Have bleeding during pregnancy

  • Make a care plan that’s right for you

  • Get services and care 

  • Work with health care providers, agencies and groups

  • Get services after hours in a crisis

Support for breastfeeding 

 

Your provider can help you get a no-cost breast pump. You don’t need preapproval (prior authorization). Just ask your provider how to get yours.

If you’re breastfeeding, you’ll want to empty your breasts regularly by feeding or using a breast pump. This prevents your breasts from becoming full and painful. You can pump breast milk when it works for you. Then your baby can get the best nutrition, no matter what your schedule. A breast pump also gives other family members the chance to feed and bond with your baby. 

 

Need help with breastfeeding? Call the National Breastfeeding Helpline at 1‑800‑994‑9662 (TDD: 1‑888‑220‑5446).
